ecopper12 I have everything all planned out. I'll be ready to go at any time. I envy you. I only have 3 pages of very general notes and practically no plot. And I have like 3 projects I need to do and so much homework that I'm starting to doubt my ability to finish in time!
I think November will become my very first 30 day all nighter razz .

I'm using a story I've had on my mind for the last few months. The characters have been developed for some time now, and I actually started the story several times but scrapped it. x_x;
I'm happy I joined NaNo because its helped me make the story more solid. I have the first two chapters outlined, and a few scene ideas I need to outline up to (already know when I want the scenes to happen). I already have a beginning, middle, and end, so I'm basically just making filler at this point. =]

✫✫✫ Well, I have my idea worked out fairly well because it's been rattling around for a while. But I'm scared of the 50k, like I always am. And I'm worried about how to get it all down on paper "correctly".
I'll be OK, though. We all will. I always get this worry before hand, but it has always worked out so far! ✫✫✫

Everything's planned out, important notes are written down, characters are developed, and plot has been outlined.
NaNoWriMo, bring it.

Lol.
I've been planning for NaNoWriMo for a few months, now, but I only have a few vague ideas about content, setting, etc. It's going to be really cool but even more difficult than cool. I don't have a lot of plot, yet, but I'm going to work on that during October up until NaNoWriMo begins.
This is my first time so I'm trying to be as prepared as possible. I want that word count! Badly! I need to do NaNoWriMo, just to motivate and condition myself to write beyond that.
I can't wait to have this novel finished.
love dani dude

Hahaha c:
This time I've got a very good vision about what I'm writing, a plot and a certain style, and then I'm just going to use what I know. I'm excited.
I think that since my outline is very broad, I have the ability to branch out in any direction, so I think everything is going to work smoothly this time. But I don't have an ending worked out in any way. Still, I'm excited! I feel a lot more prepared than my first three years.

I triple hate you for the rainbow font. Yeah. I got it on tektek. At first I had a shade of purple similar to yours, but one color is just plain boring. Plus, instead of spending hours coding the rainbow, tektek does it for you!
And since I'm such a nerd emo , I've decided what color I'll use for each occasion. For bumps, phrases, and one line messages, I've decided to use just plain purple because on rainbow mode it only gets to like orange when you finish, and that's really lame...
So yeah. Above was my life story ahahaha. =D
I kinda feel like I should be outlining for NaNoWriMo, considering I only have 3 pages of vague synopsis, but I just can't bring myself to do it. It's funny because before I joined CSD, I would've thought that 3 pages of pure OUTLINE was a ton of stuff. Then I met Eylios. xd
Let's just say that your planet moved me into a new world full of OCW (obsessive compulsive writing) razz
All of my non-writer friends made fun of me and criticized me for writing a 50k word story in a month, with no prize. Some people asked me what class it was for. I told them I think of the prize as the self-satisfaction of finishing. I know it's cheesy, but it's true!
CSD helped me realize that.
Aaaaaaaand CUT. Enough cheesy Hallmark movie moments. whee

Raaaaaaainboooooooows.....
I see you kept the font size though, lol! I love 14 font, it's so much easier for me to read. And the big purple letters just say "READ ME DAMMIT".
Anyways, yes. My planet outline. It is very extensive. Now imagine if I had focused on a single area! D: This is why I prefer drawing, because it's so much easier to cram that descriptive information into a visual format. How else am i going to describe the underground bunkers, or the Cinderfolk who live below the crust, and thrive in magma? Or the Lycan tribes in the mountains, or the TRAINS. OMFG THE TRAINS.
