I've signed up to nano

I couldn't resist. I've had my novel writing kit for months, still in its cellophane wrapper. I wanted to unwrap it so much! And it's the first of November, novel writing month start, so I unwrapped it at breakfast and whooped with glee and excitement. How can I miss out?

So I started. I took my laptop to the gradpad and began typing. Oh, it's such fun! It makes me so happy!

I'm reading the one-a-day card, and my children just signed the noveling affidavit. Fun, fun, fun on the autobun.

Hallo, fellow nanos, where r u????

P.S. My son just designed the cover for my novel. Hoho.

Must be nice to have a cover designer available!!

I woke up very early this morning and sat in front of my laptop... and nothing.

So, I decided to try writing by hand... and nothing.

It's only the first day and I'm ready to give up :(

I should have bought a novel-writing kit. Just 1,667. I have to remember that. 1,667 and they don't need to be good.

I did it once, and so I know I can do it again! And yes, it can be crap! And I wrote my April one half by hand because I was in Germany and with family and nowhere near my laptop. At one point, I wrote on a notepad while walking along the street in Heidelberg. It were fab!

Hallo!

I'm not doing nanowrimo, because I'm not actually writing a novel: I'm writing a popsci book, which (god help me) is due December 1.

Tell me what's in the kit?

Popsci? wot is that?????

Kit: one badge for the Winner
one wallchart for charting word progress per day and week
gold stars to stick on the chart (yes111111)
four stickers to wear that say 'Ask me about my novel'
a noveling pledge, tied up in a scroll with a pale blue ribbon
31 cards, one to be read each day
a booklet!

and it all comes in a look-alike book, like those books that conceal whiskey bottles.

I LOVE IT.

Cool!

Popsci = popular science

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Ooh, fun. I like popsci.

I signed up for WriSoMiFu instead as I was once again too chicken for Nano. Heh.

Glad to hear you're having a blast already. And yes, what is in that novel writing kit?

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Er, what is wrisomifu???

It's like an anti-Nano community for all those too chicken to sign up for Nano. Goal is to write 10 minutes per day and since all people there are miserable whiners it's pretty much 10 minutes of writing anything. It's fun.
