JaNoWriMo, anyone?

[ahavah]

Hello, friends!

I worked out a good chunk of a new storyline in The Dragon Alliance for NaNo this year. It's still not done, as I've had to focus on the house all December to make up for November's lack of doing darn near anything. Things are settling down now...and I think I'm going to do JaNoWriMo. I really want to bust out my apocalyptic survivalist/prepper story, Neon Giraffe (working title). The husband is a bit disappointed that I did The Dragon Alliance for the second year in a row, as he's apparently pretty excited about the Neon Giraffe idea. So looks like I'll have some good support at home if I try to get cracking on this thing next month.

I posted to the janowrimo community yesterday, but no one's posted there since 2010, and I've gotten no response yet. I had better luck on my FB, where I've recruited a couple of friends to do it with me, and a few more are contemplating it.

NaNo works for me primarily because of all the support & camaraderie. I'd love to give it another go if anyone wants to join us! I will even 'cheat' and say go ahead and finish/edit/polish up your NaNo if you prefer. I'm just looking for folks who might want to write together for a while again. Please let me know! Thanks!

Hey, feel free to stop by dz_writing if you're looking for motivation and oomph. :D We just formed and are always looking for new people. :)

Thanks! I'm torn. On one hand, I swore off RPGs because I got far too busy playing in other people's worlds and not working on publishing my own stuff. On the other hand, I've recently been feeling like I need to get to know my Muse much more tangibly. I'm not sure I quite understand all of it, but I'll mull it over. It might be a bit much for me to try to take on if I'm doing jano, but maybe after.

Are you in for janowrimo with us? Looks like we have around 20 folks right now!

Lol its not an rpg you just earn rewards like one. Its a community focused on making goals and meeting them. Everything else is just for fun. :)

I dont know yet if im doing janowrimo. I have to look over my january goals and go from there. I probably will though.

Sweet! Well, since this coincides with my wanting to get to know my Muse more intimately, I'll join up and mull it over as I lurk a bit, if that's okay. I technically *know* my Muse, but she's been ephemeral and flighty up until recently. lol I have no name or anything for her yet. Just Muse.

Yeah, feel free to lurk. There arent any activity requirements. :) you can see how it all works.
