NaNoWriMo

Right. So. Day 1 of NaNoWriMo has begun.

I went to the local write-in today and met some highly entertaining people. However, the vague semblance of an idea I had sort of crashed and burned. Maybe it was the venue. I'm bad about writing with other people around. And by bad I mean I can't do it. Especially when I can't see my screen due to the angle at which the sun is coming through the window.

I did manage to write about 2K, but it was an uphill battle, and I have very little (read: no) desire to continue. These characters have a story, but they're being darn quiet about it at the moment, while the characters from my WIP are shouting at the top of their lungs.

I suspect my WIP characters may have sent goons to threaten my NaNo characters.

Anyway, at this point, I'm considering changing NaNoWriMo into NaNoSlashMo (National Novel Slashing Month). Let's see if I can axe 50K from my mutated WIP in a month.

Decisions, decisions.

Anyhoo, I'm off to write a bit of my WIP, in the hopes that Sade and Mina might shut up long enough to let me write a bit more in my NaNo book.

How's everyone else doing with NaNo? Or non-Nano?

  1. I think you switch to working on your WIP :) It's all about what will give you more satisfaction.

    I'm doing okayish! I rewrote 500 words today... wish I could have done more, but ohhh well.

  2. Yeah, switch to your old WIP if it's clamoring to be heard!

    Good luck :)

    And I'm doing quite nicely with my unproductiveness. This is NaStuForSatMo (National Study For SAT Month) for me...*cries*

  3. Write whichever your more happier with at the moment! I had an SNI but my current WIP just would not allow me to abandon it!

    If I write 2K everyday- I should be done with it in 2 weeks. I am so excited to be able to finish my first novel. sad, i know lol

  5. This first day was a bust for me. Woke up too late and had a research paper to finish. I've since decided to just write and not worry about the daily word count. If I do, I'm going to get overwhelmed.
