NaNoWriMo

Fri Oct 16, 2009, 2:59 PM
NaNoWriMo is almost here! For those of you who don't know what it is, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Starting November 1st, writers around the world will write at least 50,000 words as a challenge. Only thirty days are given for it, and you are not allowed to start early or incorporate previously written pieces into your novel. You are, however, allowed to create a storyboard and characters. To officially register for this challenge and see the rules, visit the website: [link]

You're probably wondering, what's the reward? First off, there's the satisfaction of having written a novel. But for those who reach the 50,000 word goal...as of last year, a self-publishing company called CreateSpace is working with NaNo and will verify your word count and present you with a free paperback copy of your manuscript. It can be more than 50,000 words, if you want to take it even farther. I'm definitely going to try it. Any writers out there should do the same.

Good luck!

Whoops! I'm not that Raven, sorry! My fighting name is Salamander, and I fight Belegarth.....Though I do know some SCA kids.
I am perfectly fine with getting to know you either way though!
How are you?

Sorry for the mix-up. I've been trying to find her.

I'm kinda tired. Long day followed by a late night. Not a good idea...

I'm still talking to Al. Things are fine between us, as with just about everyone else, including every member of Heaven4WolvesII. Raf and I are merged for a week to test it out, Dampfur and I just got through a fight, I've almost mastered conscious Astral Projection, Criss has taken on Cloud's last name, anger has been a non-issue since I stabbed Jed with a fork, and as stated when last we spoke, I will accept your friendship when you have ceased your destructive ways. Until then...ta-ta.

*Nods* Perhaps it is time to try again, then. Only if you agree, of course. Just know that if you have not changed, I will pull away again and allow you more time. Unless you harm me beyond forgiveness, I will not refuse your friendship forever. Only until you have learned your lesson. My teachings could only take you so far. When they stopped helping, I had no choice but to step back and leave the rest to you and the Universe. If I didn't believe in you, I would have said we will never speak again. Never have I doubted that I made the wrong decision when I said I did not want to hear from you until you had learned. Please don't let me be wrong, Riakui. I want to trust you.

ive moved on, trust me... I've also been unmasking myself slowly, with the help of a few people... friday will certainly be interesting, that's for sure. As for trust... DOn't give it all away at the start...

Trust is one thing that MUST be earned, not given or tossed about freely.
