Re: What are you writing?
I started a novel as a project for school, and I've been working on it a ton recently. It's about a teenager 300 years in the future, basically
Re: What are you writing?
That sounds exciting! Does it have to be a certain length if it's for school?

Re: What are you writing?
I started it for a loose-ended project, my goal was to reach 10,000 words for the project, with intentions of continuing it after school was over. It's looking right now like my first draft will be done in the next couple of months, and it'll probably have 60k-70k words

Re: What are you writing?
I just write whenever I get the urge to, my true writing time is during NaNo in November though. I didn't finish last year since things happened and couldn't focus but hopefully this year I can make it all the way through.

Re: What are you writing?
I'm also going to try NaNo this year All of my past attempts have been extremely petty, lol, but this year my schedule should be a lot more forgiving, and I've been getting used to writing more regularly
As far as what I'm writing right now, I added to a to-do list just now. That counts, right

Re: What are you writing?
Wow - massive project then Chase! If you need anyone to read anything, I'm more than happy to And yes, to-do lists always count
I love NaNo, and may try and take part, but I'm working full-time now, so finding the time to sit down and write is going to be a challenge. I like Camp NaNo, because of the fact that you can set your own goal, but not sure I'll have time to write 50k in November
Do you guys have plans for what you'll write for NaNo already?

Re: What are you writing?
Anyone say NaNo? Hehe, this November I'm not really having anything going on so I'll be hitting that month hard if I don't start any other fiction projects before then.
I have several stories from past NaNos that never found their true storyline so I'll probably be looking at them.

Re: What are you writing?
I'm working on the outline for a project that I'm hopefully going to tackle for NaNo, My school schedule is sort of hell, but I'm going to hopefully have a solid regiment for my time to manage 8 hours of writing and 8 hours of studying per day.

Re: What are you writing?
Wow, that's dedication Faye Silver! Sounds like you're going to have a very busy November

Re: What are you writing?
Well I lost my other laptop to motherboard failure and it took all my stories with it when it died so I've lost all my past NaNo's and everything else I was writing. I have a new laptop now and have wanted to write but I just haven't yet. I usually run my iTunes while I write and I lost that too when my laptop died. I haven't replaced my music on this computer yet I have to use a portable optical drive since this one doesn't have one so maybe that's why I haven't. NaNo starts in three days so I'll have to get a move on if I'm going to transfer my music again.
Re: What are you writing?
Oh no, Ani-Mei! Have you got an external hard drive to use as a back up disc as well, to make sure you don't lose anything again?
It's definitely a set back, but I'm sure you can do it

Re: What are you writing?
I actually found all my stories on a jump drive, just not my most recent ones. But all my NaNo's were on there which is a relief because I'd thought I'd lost them all. Same thing with all my music folders, I had burned them onto a DVD so I just copied them all over to the new one. Too bad I didn't think to save my Sims, but as I found out this new graphics card is too advanced and will not run Sims 2.

Re: What are you writing?
WHAT ANI-MEI SAID! About NaNo anyway! My novel is On the Wings of Angels and it's an urban fantasy. I'm with you about finishing too Ani-Mei

Re: What are you writing?
I'm not writing anything for NaNo this year, which I'm sad about, but I'm going to try and write something this month, even if it's just a short story or two
Your stories sound great!

Re: What are you writing?
Ahh so sad to hear all about it Ani-Mei, now i have fear for my Sims 2 luckily my first laptop is still working but by next week I'll have a new one... Darn Sims 2 still not be updated to keep up with daily technology.
Also been working on a totally pansted NaNo this year, something good actually coming out of it! Hit 10,000 a few minutes ago. Personally has been an intresting first week since I barely known what the next scene will be, no less how the scene I'm working on will end.

Re: What are you writing?
I just got stuck at 15000 so I don't know what to do either. It's the tenth day and the chart on the site says I should be a 16666 by this time but I'm not. I didn't write at all yesterday, I played Sims on my desktop instead. See that computer still runs Sims 2 so I just lost some CC but if I was so inclined I can rebuild and restart my lost challenges. Not my legacy though the duel legacy was already on generation 5.

Re: What are you writing?
Hope things are doing better for ya Ani-Mei
So I'm just hitting 30,000 words. Which actually is pretty good for the past couple of days since getting past 25,000 after losing nearly 10,000 words in the end does make somethings easy enough.
I'm burnt out from the job that didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, didn't realize how much I could hurt after a chaotic last couple of weeks. Which makes it complicated to get another 20,000 words. The only thing saving me is how my plot is have a total remodel and needs a better flow of proper realization and learning my characters is wanting to go through (true fully for me its getting a bit too exhausting for what I prefer). Also I actually bought a winner's shirt this year, keeping it until I enter I'm a Winner onto the site by next week.
