message 255: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) kk I like the story your writing I havent read the whole thing but I like the beginning!


message 256: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) Which one?

Orion's Spirit or Run for Your Life?


message 257: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) The one where in the beginning she's the new girl and she gets ddetention for telling the teacher about her dead sister...


message 258: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) It wasn't her sister. But yeah - you mean Orion's Spirit. And thank you. ^_^ I've been working on that since April. -.- It's taking forever.


message 259: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) Sorry..lol books can take up to 10 yrs to draft, revise,final copy and the hardest part, publish


message 260: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) The outline is what kills me.

The words come up like word-vomit and just take their own route.

Like how the Guardian isn't supposed to be coming in until the fifth chapter, but it seemed like the perfect place to put it in this one.


message 261: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) Lol I know...

Hey Happymonster, if the outline kills you, then skip it. Draw up a rough idea of what you want, and then just write. That's what I do, and it works pretty well for me. Wrote a whole book in a month, for NaNoWriMo, that way. Just find a way that works for you.


message 263: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) No, I like outlining, I just find it really difficult to stick to it.


message 264: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
Ah, okay. Whatever works for you. ^^


message 265: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) Seems more detailed - I can make sure there's an actual plot and developing characters rather than "I want this here and that there. OH! And that sentence would go really great blahblahblah".

It ticks me off that NaNoWriMo is during school...cause I try and do it and school gets in the way -_-''

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
I know... Though my friend from school and I both did it, and half of why I did it was to beat her. XD I did a lot of writing in school, too.

Yeah...maybe I should try and not do it on the computer this year...I work best in notebooks :D


message 269: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
Same here. I write it in the notebook, then type it up. Hence I did a LOT of writing at school.


message 270: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) Why is NaNo WriMo so hard?

Can't you start early?


message 271: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
No, you can't. And it's 50,000 words in 30 days. That's three typed pages a day. Sure, you can start planning it early, but you can't start actually writing it until November 1st each year.


message 272: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) Ah.

Any specific genre?


message 273: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
Nope. Whatever you want to write, 50,000 words, one month. It seems easy, but it's really not. This last year I took an idea from 4 or 5 years ago and started it over completely, just keeping the plot. I'd started writing on the idea back when I first had it and it sucked. Now, my younger sister read it and loved it. :P


message 274: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) It's just one collective thing, or you can do poems and little stories and such?


message 275: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
You could, I think. But 50,000 is a lot for poems... You could do a poetry or short story collection though, I'm pretty sure...


message 276: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) Yeah, but if you were short 100 words a poem would fix that.


message 277: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
I added a poem or two to my story... written by the main character, of course. XD


message 278: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) ^_^ Genius.

Wait, so you're supposed to write one collective thing. Not just random tidbits of writing genius?


message 279: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
Mhmm. One collective thing. If you wanted to do a themed poetry or short story collection, I'd imagine that would be okay...


message 280: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) ^_^ Thanks for the help.


message 281: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) Me listened...I do that any way. Hey who wants to go RP cause i do -.- lol


message 282: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
No problem Happymonster. :)


message 283: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) Happymonster whered ur :) go?


message 284: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) I deleted it.

I didn't notice it was up there until somebody pointed it out. It was creepy since I didn't know it was on my name.


message 285: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) omg...


message 286: by [deleted user] (new)

Wow, this is my first time ever hearing about NaNoWriMo... I even Google'd it until I saw you guys posted everything I needed to know about it.

I might actually try it this year. Anyone can join, right?


message 287: by Keara (new)

Keara (kearachristine) Yep. ^_^


message 288: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) What is it?


message 289: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 07, 2010 10:03AM) (new)

Just check out the official NaNoWriMo site - there's a lot of information there. But basically, you just have to write a book that is 50,000 words long, but you can only start writing on the first of November, and the deadline is midnight (local time) on November 30th. The book can be about anything, but it has to be fiction. On the site, it said something like "This is about quantity, not quality" - and like Snow said, you have to write about 3 typed pages a day.


And I'm surprised that no one said NaNoWriMo as their "Hardest thing you've ever done"


message 290: by Kat (new)

Kat (sugaraddict) Wait...is it for school?

Yes. you and fwit are similar in ways.


message 299: by Snow, Too much to do and no time to do it. :/ (new)

Snow (kdskid007) | 40908 comments Mod
I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I have... Yeah, I have to agree that they're similar.
