NaNoWriMo

[Toppyrocks]

This is gonna be my first NaNo, and I can't wait. I roped two of my friends into joining too, so maybe a bit of friendly competition will give me enough motivation to write as much as I can.

Word wars are always so much fun, and for those of you feeling a bit iffy, you don't need to go for the full 50,000 as I said with school the way it is I aim to get all of my out of class assessment done before November then aim for 30,000 words.

And for those of you doing it what are you writing? Genre? Plot? Characters? I'm a curious soul.

This is my synopsis for those willing to read.

The first Space Liner is ready to launch taking its load of hundreds of rich passengers and crew into orbit around the moon. The voyage is said to be the most exciting event in over 100 years and the cost matches with tickets costing some millions. Everyone who's anyone should be aboard that liner, but none know just how exciting it will be. On the far side of the moon something happens and suddenly they find themselves millions of light years away, and none can really tell if they are still in this galaxy. They do not have long to wonder though before one of the big questions of the age is answered, intelligent life does exist. This intelligent life is not benign though and soon the humans find themselves spread across the galaxy as servants and slaves.

Callista is your average rich girl, with parents on the top ten richest people in the world list and a long boarding school education behind her. She is impeccable and everything a rich heiress should be, and every rich person who's anybody is fighting for a place on the first Space Liner. But the journey turns out to be a little more than just socializing.

Rob is one of the engineers behind the technological marvel which is the Space Liner and is excited to be out there on it first voyage, even though it is work. Excitement is doubled though, as he gets the opportunity to delve into alien technology.

Tim is normal, but a stowaway, On a dare he snuck aboard the Space Liner, and no one is quite sure how he managed it. The thrill of being in space quickly wears off though as it is not only the aliens which treat him as a lesser being.

I did this last year, and I think I finished around 1,500 or something. I wanted to go to 3,000 because I can type really fast (last year I did it ALL HAND - WRITTEN) and I thought it would actually be a challenge. But, of course, I actually have school, so I can't spend all day writing like the adults can.

@meerkatgirl : Actually, you can start a novel which you're already a bit into. I'm already about 3 pages into this book which I started a little bit ago. The thing is, I already have a plot, the characters, what's going to happened at the end... *sigh* I plan too much.

Oh, okay then. Unlike you, I just improvise, and so far it's doing well :3 I have found that if I plan out the whole story, I get bored with it. Although it does require some more editing, to me it's much more fun to write this way because I don't even know what's going to happen until I actually sit down to write it XD

The thing which happened with me was that I had enough time, but I had no idea where to go with the plot after a while. So this year I'm going to have everything already planned and add my own humor and interesting bits along the way. Kinda like putting the muscle on the skeleton, right? I like skeletons. (In a forensic scientist/anthropologist way)

Hm...maybe I will try this. With a fanfic,and I'll start in a day or two, so it's not official or something. ^^; I doubt that I'll get too far, but hey, on a good day I can churn out 2,ooo words or so; maybe I'll have a chance of reaching the 3o,ooo word goal.

Yeah, I'm like that sometimes. The thing is, I'm on Chicken Smoothie a lot, but I also have school and a drumming group after school, so by the time I really want to write, it's 10:00 PM. Luckily, my school librarian does NaNoWriMo, as well, and she runs some cool after-school get-togethers for the NaNo Novelists so that we can have a nice place to write for about an hour.

On top of that she gives us mints. 8D Yay for librarians.

same here, once I decide on something to write about I can write a lot actually. My story isn't quite a fanfic, but it's knid of close... I don't know what you'd call it XD

Mine's about this girl who can make people disappear when she touches them. Pretty interesting. There's a bit too much mention of Justin Bieber in the beginning though, which is really creepy. I don't like him.

[meerkatgirl]

sounds cool. Does she make him disappear? I would love if that happened XD
