Thanks, Chris. I'll play around there for inspiration.

Alrighty, then. Chris, thanks to you, I've decided to set up my own NaNoWriMo site. It's all your fault!!!!

Here is my NaNoWriMo site.

P.S. Is that a site set up through Nanowrimo? I wonder if I should just stick with my livejournal.

Oh man, I was just reading my livejournal entry and spotted a powerfully ironic coincidence. Li (my nom de plumes maiden name) = lithium.

Nah, I didn't set up anything through nanowrimo. It's just a subdomain of my already existing owned-by-me domain. Check it out - I rather like the layout!

Why is everyone so much more organized than I am?
Perhaps tomorrow I will write in my LJ several outlines for several stories I have started but haven't finished yet because I am too young to write them.

Syn there is no such thing as too young to write! Just write, write, write. You'll never get better if you don't write, and if you wait until you're mature enough, good enough, talented enough to write you never will.

Syn, they're right! If you want to write, then write! Don't wait until you're older or the planets align or for a blue or purple moon. Just write!

Nothing else matters! So go and write.

As for organization, it only matters if you need it. I need structure and organization. Without it, I can't produce. My husband needs none, and he can write perfectly fine off the top of his head. What do YOU need?

Belle - I checked out your site, read your synopsis, and damn, I wanna know what the twisted ending is. Um, not twisted ending. Ending with a twist. Erm, yah. [Mad] Cool!

Syn - have you bee to the NaNoWriMo site yet? There are forums there where you can ask your question of working on two novels. I don't know the answer to that. Check them out.

Y'all know that there's a Hatrack forum there, too? Hatrack on NaNoWriMo

C'mon, we can do it!!!!!

Man, I'm behind. I only got about 600 words written today - and it's all due to the election!

Oh, well, I've got time to make it up.

I wrote nada yesterday. I so knew what I wanted to do when I woke up... but then it just... ::waves goodbye::

And of course, today, when I have a History test AND 7:30 math class, I get inspired. AGH.

I'm spinning a derivitive space opera with a admitted Firefly vibe called _The Sky Pirate_ here:

I'm also over at the NaNo forums as Phy.

Took me awhile, but I found this thread. (Yeah, I know I could have used the search, and I did eventually.) I am a member of NaNoEdMo and have been for awhile, but never had a need to use them until now. One of the posts there mentioned that Lulu.com is having a special for NaNoWriMo novels. I know that Mack has used their service before for her novel.

I went and checked the NaNoWriMo site and found a link to IUniverse.com as well. I thought those who participated would like to check out the links.

Lulu NaNo Offer

IUniverse Nano Offer

I have no idea if I am going to take the offer up because my novel just isn't finished, but I did reach the 50,000 word goal, which is a first for me. Yay!!!

Also, if anyone wants book covers designed (for free! I need portfolio pieces!), you know where to find me.

See... now that's a reason to have your book published. A designer cover by Annie. It would become an instant collectible even if it was drivel. (I am just referring to my NaNoWriMo piece, btw.) Heck, even if you can't get it edited by the expiration date listed, you could have Annie work on the cover for the future. And, we'd be helping her out, as well. (She also said the magic word.... free.)

Annie is cool.

[Grumble] You would think after all that time of not using contractions it would have become second nature.
