| So who's trying it this year. After my awesome 0 words last time I attempted, I am tempted to try it again. The only problem is that the new Call of Duty and the new Elder Scrolls both come out in November. While I would like to think I am above the temptation of video games, I am not. But who knows, maybe the games will suck.

I never do try nano... I find it a sad distraction for many IFians this time of year. Often we're getting moving again - though we're experiencing something different right now I think - and then Nano comes and we lose half of us to that and half of them never return.
And... hard to imagine the new elder scrolls sucking.

Oh, NaNoWriMo.
I'm honestly torn on this one. I hate, hate, hate that it has to be in November. It's just not a good month. Ever. And if I don't know anyone locally, I'm not sure I'm going to have the motivation to keep going. Not unless I can figure out a good plot that is flexible enough for so much volume. I'm not a big fan of quantity over quality, so that's another strike in the 'ugh' column.

I might give it a twist.... But sadly its all wringed out some days. Today I think I've been doing things that I don't even notice doing. Yesterday I walked a bit walked over to the mirror touched my hair and my mom and dad asked me why did I walk in and move the spray deodorant... Today I didn't kow how I scratched my upper lip... Three days ago I didn't know how my tongue got bit at two places.... I think I might just be zoning out while I imagine doing something else...  I don't want no suicide attempt in my line of thought... so I'll be writing a story of a girl with tourette syndrome but the dangerous kind.... I guess...

I came to the conclusion while roaming the NaNo forums that only pretentious douche bags label their works as "Literary Fiction." On another note, I have just labeled my novel-to-be as Literary Fiction.
This year I am going to do it, I have decided. I came up with a great idea for a novel while at work today, so I'm going to take the next week to plan my writing as much as I am able. It is damn near against my religion to plan, but hopefully I will have something to get me started when the 1st rolls around.
Shockingly, my user name is HalfEmptyHero. I don't know what these writing buddy thingys are, but feel free to add me as well.

My username is Muaddib. I assume we're allowed to do collaborations? If anyone wants to hash out a 10,000 word cheap lit novel with me please let me know.
As it so happens, I'm free for most of November. It's a once in a lifetime thing so maybe I will finish a novel this time. Here's hoping it's the next Harry Potter. I'll make some serious dough and retire in the Amsterdam red light district. 
Could we maybe create a Cityofif wrimo group?

Muaddib I'd be glad to write something with you! I have a publisher, but haven't sent anything in yet. My most favorite publisher is penguin group the top writers group is Dark Horse. I wonder what you are planning on writing? I'm also looking for someone to write stories with me.

I've always been scouting for authors to collaborate with, but I dont think NaNo is the best for me. Never been a quick writer...

| I don't have a concrete idea. I was just going to do one of those school exercises where one person writes one chapter and the other writes the next and so on, without really following any guideline except to keep the continuity.

I think I'll just suck it up and do it. If nothing else, I'll just track my word count for my various projects over the course of the month. November isn't ever going to get any less obnoxious.

I try every year and in twenty minutes I'll start work on at least the first bit of my yearly entry.
