National Novel Writer's Month

So here we are, just shy over the halfway point.

You're saying to yourself "What the hell did I get myself into?"

You're staring at the very few words that you've written, ready to toss the computer out the window, screaming "OH MUSE! WHERE HAS THOU GONE?! COME BAAAAACK!"

If so, then you were me last night. *smile*

Anyway, this is not the time to give up. There will be no quitters here!!!!!!!! actually, there will be, and there's nothing wrong with that, it just makes me post a lot of :( faces in the upcoming days.

But no! We're not going to let you fall off that cliff. We're going to form a human chain and keep each other from falling (I'm so standing between the hot guys. Sorry girls, I'm MOD. I get first dibs!)

Have I cheered you up yet? Gotten some kind of smile on your face? COME ON IT'S FRIDAY!

So yes, please, you got plot trouble, post it here. Everyone else, take time this weekend to keep checking the thread, and help out your fellows! This is when the strength of this community really shows, in being able to help one another out in this bleak time of NaNo need...

Post away. And I'll be here if you need me :)

I, am totally made of suck these past few days. I'm so sorry.

But I'm not going to bore you with the details. Instead...

NEED PLOT HELP?!?!

Come and get it here. Post your plots for help, procrastinate by helping others! It's a win, win situation for everyone!

Got a plot? CONGRATS! You're about halfway more prepared then the rest of us!

Of course, with plots come problems. If you've got one, here's the place to post for help!

And if you want to procrastinate from your own NaNo, come on in and help out with the writer's block ice breaking!

Hey folks... need help with your plots?

THIS is the place to post your requests. Get help with your plots, and help other people with the snags that they have in theirs.

please do not post individual call outs for help in your plots. We set this system up for a reason, otherwise you'll have about 4000 people a day wanting to do so. Thanks.

Doors are open! come on in, tell us what you need help with, and let the rest of the community procrastinate from their own work to help you come up with sick and demented plot twists to get you going again...

Or just help...

Something like that. Anyway... yeah... i need to go to bed. Have fun!

Here's the post to help each other out this week. As NaNo is right around the corner, people like you (and even you!) are trying to figure out what the hell they are going to be writing about.

Check in and see if you can help someone out. Post your issues and have others help you.

And really, if you're brave... post that you have NO PLOT IDEA and let people throw random plot ideas at you...

And keep checking back during the week as more people reply into the post!

Weekend before NaNo starts. Time to start freaking out folks!

Here's a place to do some brainstorming, or get help with plots. Everyone help one another out!

Ok, so over 50% of the group has stated that they would like the plot helping post once a week, while the rest wanted it daily, or have no idea what a plot is supposed to be.

I'm one of that last group!

Anyway, a few comments caught my attention, and so here's what I figure. I'll do one on Monday for the week, and then another one on Friday for the weekends. That way people who will end up doing most of their writing on weekends because working 9-5 M-F jobs SUCK during NaNo... will not get lost in the Monday posts.

That's going to be the best I can think of. And when I get around to updating the profile this week, all the posts will have the tag "2007: plot help" (just like this one)

Just so you can click on the tag and find the last one.

I will also make sure that I remember to link the TAG in the word count / snipit posts come November. If I forget, PLEASE someone comment with the reminder or link so that people can find it.

Help me help you... and I won't be insane by November 30th.... well... more than I already am.


So here you go! You asked, and I deliver! Got a plot that you need help with? Need a plot? Step up and comment and let the community help.... if you dare.
