Poll #47: NaNoWriMo 2008

[Andy]

What are you this year doing regarding NaNoWriMo?

[Carraka]

There isn't an option for:

Yes. I've reached 50,000 before, and this time I'm going to write [some number higher than 50,000].

[jordanisonfire]

What's Nannywhatsit?

[phytoxoeia]

Well, I know you already know, Shadow, :P but because I feel like explaining it anyway to those who are deprived of the knowledge of what Nanowrimo is:

In simple terms, you write 50,000 words during the month of November.

In long terms, you write your brains out whenever you have a chance, and then fall behind so that in the last week you have to write half your word count, and struggle to write over 5,000 words every friggin day, and then finish at 11:59 on the 31st, and you're so exhausted and sleep deprived by that time, you sleep the entire day on December 1st.

At least, that's how it was for me, because I like to procrastinate. I was also temporarily addicted to video games (okay, only sort of) which may have been the cause of my word count crash from November 10th - November 25th.

[jordanisonfire]

I thought you'd taken me seriously and explained it for me then, haha.

[Starry]

I already have something else that wants to strangle me. It is called schoolwork. :( Maybe next year...

50,000? But that's over 9,000 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq5csKvXCT4)! That's crazy! :D

I did it last year, and I'm doing it again.

[Majyk]

I think it'd be really cool to do, but 1) I'd end up with sooo much editing when I was finished (and, besides the fact that I hate editing, I already have a novel to edit), and 2) I don't have enough time. I wouldn't finish it.

[PMD14]

It sounds like a cool idea but I won't be doing it. I don't think I'd be able to get it done for one and I'm getting to much school work to write 50000 words.

[Rouge]

I can't due to band, school work, and piano. It's too much.
I can barely write anything as it is. I wish I could, but it'll have to wait until next year.

Start a sequel for NaNo. :D And if you don't have enough time, skip sleep. That's what college students do when they have an exam the next day. :rolleyes:

[Majyk]

Already tried a sequel. It became the second half of book one :P. I couldn't skip sleep, though. I'd have no energy left for dance classes at night. And those happen almost every day. :p

[sXe_Jinxeh]

I'm entering. . . but I don't think I'll be successful, >.< Life sucks too much

[-Wallflower-]

I just signed up, like 30 minutes ago =]
I don't think I'll be able to do it, since I procrastinate so much, but it'll be fun to try.
I really don't have much to do. No school until next year and no job right now >_<
(Gah, the job thing is something I'm really trying to change... lol)

[Carraka]

You get

a) a certificate
b) a purple bar
c) bragging rights
d) a novel that is half-finished, almost finished, finished, or something more finished than it normally is
e) self-confidence
f) I don't know if they'll do it again this year, but I also got free self-publication, which I'm not accepting.

[Silverwolf]

I would but, i'm so far behind in school work it's not even funny.
