Hooray, hooray. Last year, I got overexcited at the start, so I kind of burnt myself out around 38K words and hit a writer's block. Doh! I managed just under 43K, and the story was more or less…Continue

Andrea, I'm already at Camp Nano. It's different from NanoWrimo, call it a prep stage for NanoWriMo, but still fun and very useful. :)

Did you guys see there is a "Camp NaNoWriMo" now? I personally think November is a terrible choice for such a task b/c of Thanksgiving, house guests, cooking for said guests and holiday...but now they are having a NaNoWriMo in June and in August!
I'm signing up! Who's with me? :)

I wrote 80K + words for NanoWriMo in 2011... it has ZERO structure lol. Time to go through and hammer out a structure for it.

I just received this assignment and have been working on it. Try this and see what happens. This a really amazing exercise!
Pick one of your original stories or scripts. Flip to the middle of that
story. If your story is three pages, that means go to the middle of page two. If your story is 90 pages, that means go to page 45. Now, pick the most dynamic paragraph, conversation or character action or interaction
from the middle of that page. It can be a few lines or a couple paragraphs.
Imagine this is the new beginning of your story! For the purposes of this discussion, this is where your story sets into motion. It does not have to be clear from the few lines that you post what your story is about. Often, stories that begin in medias res can be mysterious, intense, even confusing—but there has to be something about the beginning
the compels the reader (or viewer) to want to know more.

Congrats to everyone who won NaNo this year! Sadly, I didn't win, but that's okay. My blog post for the day sums up my feelings about this whole experience: http://jaclpetersen.com/2011/12/01/the-results-are-in/ I hope everyone is really proud of what they accomplished this November!

Edith O Nuallain commented on the blog post 'Day 13 of of my 90 Day.Cutting the dull parts.'"Now this is interesting. Summary through dialogue rather than narrative -- way more interesting and lively! Love the photo. We are being drowned out here in Ireland and that beach looks so tempting! Edith x"
