http://nanowrimo.org/ National Novel Writing Month is a yearly activity starting the first of November where you write a 50,000 word long novel in a single month. Why take part in this event? It may be difficult to write cleanly when you have so little time, but it's something to get you excited about writing, to give you a reason. Which is kind of why I'm doing it a for a third time. ![]() What are you guys writing? |

Copper's Resistance. It's the sequel to last year's Copper's Revenge and the 2nd of a planned trilogy. 3 months had gone by since Copper's Revenge and Copper is now the leader of the Manlo army. The Manlo army grew and now they were able to solve crime in addition to doing big wars whenever they happen. However, new trouble begins when a mysterious thing in cloak tries to get the Manlos to fight among themselves to see their true colors while doing a bounty on Copper to get him to quit the Manlo army and expose his other side to see if he's just a person that cares more about himself than others for the safety of their protection. This complicates things as Copper now has to defend himself from the hunters that want him dead for the bounty and worry about what certain Manlos are doing that are wrong after an incident that makes it even harder for the Manlos to trust themselves. No one is safe from anyone in this darker sequel that ups the ante a lot. November 1st can't come soon enough BTW!!! |

Sounds really great. I still can't sort my idea out. I think I'll start National Novel Month but I probably won't finish it working the occasionally 16 hour shifts and also having to work 6 days a week.

I don't normally bring this up since people tend to not believe me online but I'm also training for my second marathon. I just ran my first one just over a week ago with a time of 5:09:something. So that's flat out killing me right now because I'm trying to get in good enough shape to run a sub-4. I might be able to upload a photo of me in my marathon they got (They had over 1,000 photos taken of different people), I just want to make sure the race number thing isn't readable. If not I'll blur it. |

Yeah, I started running two and half years ago and I've finished 12 races so far. I love it, it had been my dream for a while but I never was in very good shape. I'm not really in good shape now but somehow I manage. Still don't have my idea worked out. I'll probably start writing and see where it goes once it starts.

I've been busy a lot this month and haven't given nanowrimo much thought. About like last year. >_< If I do try I have no idea what I'll be doing. I could go back to my outline from last year but didn't end up liking what I had done much so don't think I want to do that. |

How are you guys doing? I've had to make the decision to skip out on Nanowrimo this year. I really wanted to do it, but it's only going to put more stress on me and I need a bit of a break right now. I will probably try to start writing a new novel but I don't want to be rushed because I want the quality to be the absolute best I can get it. But I'm still very interested in the event and how you guys get on. I'm cheering for you.

Next year is going to be interesting for me, as it would be the final Copper story in the trilogy. After that, 2016 and up is just new IPS. Also like last year, I can publish my book on CreateSpace to earn 2 free books of my own novel. |
