hellisonRead this - http://rebecca.hitherby.com/archives/000675.php (thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mirrorshard for the link). It is a delight to read. This is how I wish I could write. Just the ... wordiness of it (see, I can't even find the words to describe the words) and the way it flows - and thats before you get down to the ideas behind the actual story.
I'm almost afraid to look at the archive cos I'll just get lost in there and not resurface til they kick me out of here this evening, and I really do have to do SOME work.
On the subject of writing, is anyone doing the nanowrimo this year? http://www.nanowrimo.com/
I am uncertain. I enjoyed it last year, it was fun to just sit down and babble onto a page and I'm sad I never got it finished (just as the pirates were about to come get the sexelves too!), tho still impresssed I managed over 30,000 words. Even if they weren't particularly good words.
Can't think of anything to write *about* this year tho, and I was hoping to go into it a little more prepared if I did it this time round. Hmm.
Anyway, registration for this year starts Saturday, if anyone else is going to play ;)

Date: 2005-09-29 08:02 am (UTC)The idea is people use 'i have no time' to put off writing so they take away the excuse.
Starting on 1st nov. you have til midnight on 30th nov. to write a 50,000 word novel. Or More. Basic rules are no editing, no re-writes (that can all be done late). Just sit down and write 50000 words and see what comes out ;)
There are funky charts to show your progress and you can upload bits for people to read, lots of forums to help with details (or waste time), but basically it's about stop making excuses, sit down and write.
Sign up is anytime between sat. and 1st of nov. then off you go ;)
