| | NaNoWriMo 2019 Chat Thread Welcome to NaNoWriMo 2019!
Do you feel the excitement that is building? Are your fingers itching to just type already? Well, as we battle against the last fortnight in October leading up to November 1st, come and participate in our brand new NaNoWriMo Bootcamp.
In this forum we have new threads for you to explore including a collated resources and FAQ's thread and a brand new writing buddies areas where you can share your NaNoWriMo information to create your extended community on the NaNo site.
If you want to let our fellow SnitchSeeker's know that you are undertaking the NaNo challenge, why not head over and have a look at the graphics and if you have bought any NaNoWriMo Swag (in 2019 or the past) why not let us see?
Why not pop into our new characters thread and discuss their vices and favourite foods, flesh out their looks or even post a biography so that everyone can see the characters you will be living and writing about in November.
We all love a challenge, after all we are writing 50,000 words in 30 days -- but how about joining our very own HOUSE Tournament! that is also a new addition this year? Come and tell us your House and we can see which House has the highest word count by the 30th of November!!
To complete the Bootcamp area, we have some GAMES! Let's face it, who doesn't love a game or two? Well, we have three for you all to enjoy! Why don't you follow these links, and have some fun with us? ABC's , This or That? and Writing Prompts!
are all ready for your creative input!
Hopefully, this whole forum will be a place where your mind can delve into the story you hope to write, all while developing the characters that are going to help you to weave your way through the NaNoWriMo 50'000 word challenge.
This thread will be open until the end of November, so come and chat to your fellow writers in the lead up. Once the month is underway continue to find solace here, rant about your novel that simply isn't playing out how you had envisioned, find inspiration to get over the hill of an awkward scene or to work out the aspects you don't like in your characters.
We all need encouragement and here, within our SS community, we can find it.
Make sure all posts follow both the Honeydukes Rules and the SnitchSeeker Site Rules.
Have Fun and Good Luck!

I'm excited, but I'm sure I won't have time to write a novel this November. I doubt I'll even have time to read one unless I'm reading it with students.

It's always been a dream of mine to write a novel .... I have several different 'outlines' saved over the years of things I've thought about ... just never took it any further!!
Good look to all in the challenge!

oh it looks like they fixed things so new projects don't disappear as soon as you navigate away from the NaNoWriMo site (at least they're sticking around for me) so I guess I am fr fr participating this year
just like last year I'm probably going to work on multiple projects at once and use the combined wordcount. that way I have another thing to jump to when I hit a wall with one. I'm excited but also kind of dreading it lmao I don't know if my attention span is currently up to this but I guess we'll see how it goes

Good look to all in the challenge! Good luck to you too! It'll certainly be something haha. I hope you manage to get one of them hashed out and written this year Quote:

maybe next year

Sooo, I'm hoping to be a Nano Rebel this year with a graphic novel I'd like to do. I'm actually planning on doing it from the perspective on one of my artsy SSRPG characters who's been working on it IC
Anyway, not sure that I can contribute to word counts that way, and tbh I'm not completely sure how much I need to do per day... I still need to plan things out. But we'll see. Anytime I try to nano, I have a decent start in the beginning, but it doesn't last. Hoping incorporating some visual art into it will help, especially as I have an idea in mind.

I'm desperate to participate but I'm still unsure what to write about. Maybe I'll be inspired in the morning, or maybe I'll write a character background... The latter of which I've already started, so who knows?!
Good luck everyone!!!

I've got like an hour and a half to plan something, but I'm always in this position at this point so I'm not too worried. All I really need to do is narrow down which ideas I'm focusing on and write brief outlines. Gonna do some character backstories/potential future stories/non-RP stuff based on RP ideas I've had.
Still trying to get used to navigating the new site -___-

I'm going to try write down all of the character backgrounds and details I had RPed out originally for the (now) great/grandparents of my kiddos - then because a lot of the parents weren't RPed but I've headcannoned so much for them too, I'm going to jot it all down.
A lot of it was written (drabbles, fics, RPs, etc) on my own external site and it got taken down in the last few months but as I wasn't active on it I lost a lot of it.... so here's hoping I remember it all without the actual reference points.
But *crosses fingers*

I feel like every year I hate what I'm doing earlier and earlier. This year, I didn't even make it 100 words. *flops*

I've never wanted to be an author, so I'm not even trying XD I'm basing everything I'm writing on my characters and (admittedly) attempting to be more active and call my muse to me... we will see if it works, but I managed a muse of some kind today... so that's at least something.
<3 Do you have another idea, Ern?
ShaNoNo - I saw you call it that on twitter. Did you have a story B planned already, Shan?

No, I don't. And honestly, I want to write this story. I've written the first 6 'chapters' over the past 6 years, and this is the final one. I just need to push through.
