I have officially lost my mind.

I don't expect to make it, but... I've decided to try.

Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into?!

Bea, Arya, Julie... I blame you three entirely. Just so y'all know.

Oh! Good luck! It's only about 1700 words a day. 50,000 words is only about 2/3s of your average ppbk bodice ripper. You can do it!!

I've been thinking about it myself but haven't yet come up with a suitable plot.

My problem is that my plot ideas are either things that I'd possibly publish some day, or way too complex to fit into one month. I think I'll do one of those stories I've always wanted to write, that I don't think will turn into anything great, but I know I could probably do justice with only a month to spare. I have two possible ideas, actually, both of which are "westerens" of a sort.

On the NaNoWriMo homepage, they mention some people that went on to get their manuscripts published. If I were to be working on something I was going to publish, I'd probably keep it private or have really limited readership.

Yikes, good luck!

Thanks!

Haha ;)

We'll commiserate together! I'm so bad, I've been flitting about the site at work today....

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I need to "flit" some more myself.

And yeah, we'll help one another out with this. We'll need to. ;)

YAY, another one joins the insanity!

OK this is a bit freaky. We post at the exact same time with the exact same icon.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

ESP, mayhap?

[ehnel.livejournal.com]

Heh! I think I nicked the icon from you, actually. :p

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Love the userpic. :)

Insanity? Eek!

[petitecrivan.livejournal.com]

Muaha, I've converted another! It'll be fun. My MOM is thinking about doing it!! :D

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Tell your Mom to go for it!

[shadowfeared.livejournal.com]

LOL... Good luck with that hun!! That sounds like a dissertation in itself! O.o

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is. Gaaaah.

And thanks. :)

[arieskalexander.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm doing it too! Only a couple more days...

And I don't worry about plots. I just write what One Mind tells me to. She usually can wrap up a story. Usually!

Good Luck, Amy!

Good luck!

I think it will be great incentive to start working on a novel at least. I would try it too if I wasn't so bogged down in November. I wish they would start it in December when I get a week off of work.

Well, I wish you the best of luck in the month ahead.
