It's almost November! National Novel Writing Month!
The idea is to write a 50k word novel by the end of November, by writing a little each day. Roughly 1,666.6.
I always think about doing it but then miss the first few days and decide I'm too far behind to actually start. It doesn't help that I don't have a lot of novel-spanning ideas! But I really wanna do it this year, so I'm thinking about just writing an adventure fantasy with random dice rolls whenever I get stuck, but I might also just do an anthology of various short stories. I dunno. I just wanna end the month at roughly 50k, just to get the practice in.
Anyone else taking a crack at it this year?? | d ( i n o s r o a ) r

I did not know this even existed but I'll participate. Perhaps we can encourage each other to stay the course. | | |

I just took a quick look through some stories I have started over the years, and they all read like the ramblings of a schizophrenic. | | |

Just use * in place of the p so it looks like you're censoring every word. | | |

p tempting! I also feel like I'd lose steam within the first week tho. Maybe a novella would be more realistic |  |

it'd be kind of fun for someone to come up with a title for a short story and then someone else to write it. | | |

And there could be like 3 different things that would have to be included in the story, like how on those cooking competitions they have to work with specific ingredients.
Obviously a creative game for FE, not the NaNoWriMo. | | |
