I was always told that you weren't even supposed to start planning until November lol, my freshman teachers were misinformed.

Lol how are you supposed to plan and write an entire novel in only a month?

@Starfast group

Yeah, I know it's not going to be good. But I guess I'm just someone who would rather have a pretty solid idea of what I want to happen in my story before I commit to writing it, if that makes sense. I'm not really someone who comes up with story ideas very easily, so having to plan a novel and write 50,000 words all in 30 days just doesn't really seem attainable to me (unless you add all your planning to your word count)? Idk though everyone has a different planning process ¯\(ツ)/¯

@Simon-Says

Oh god endings are the biggest nope for me. I've finished exactly one book in all fourteen of my years off life and that was a book written for 2nd-4th graders

@Simon-Says

I thought part of the challenge was creating something completely new, all in 30 days (I only have to write 10,000 because I'm a sophomore HAH)

@Simon-Says

Mnope, just for funs. You only have to write as much as your grade level, so 5th grade is 5000, 10th grade is 10000. They might make everyone do the adult level where you are, idk

I tried to do Inktober but it's the 8th and I haven't yet did anything. Though I was thinking about writing a story and using every one of Inktober's prompts in it too participate

@Simon-Says

Oh, that sounds cool! I'm actually sort of proud of my Inktober drawings so far, and I'm trying to finish a children's book, which might include my drawings and I am BUSY (especially with theatre)

@Oakiin

Guys, wish me luck TwT I'm trying to write ten chapters this month, fourteen chapters for nano, and then eight chapters in December. I'm working on the last book of my trilogy, and I need to finish it this year TwT

@croccin-champagne

Hap birth!

And I actually blended a prompt from Pinterest with a prompt from an online plot generator, and came up with characters before all of it. Plot generators are good, if you find one you like

@Mojack group

After much debate, I’ve decided I’m going to have a story based around giant monsters. No idea what the exact plot is gonna be yet - but that’s what prepping is for!

@Cloudy_is_trying_her_best

Thanks, Crocs!

And that sounds cool! Mine's an idea that started as a roleplay like three-ish years ago. Basically superpowered people start showing up and the government's like "oh shit we can't have this, they could be DaNgErOuS and decide to start arresting anyone with powers and ditching them on this abandoned island in the middle of the ocean. Plot things ensue. So far I have exactly one and a half characters done. I want to try and contact some of the people I roleplayed it with and see if I can base certain characters' powers off of theirs, since I really liked a few(hemokinesis or basically bending someone's blood and basically Katsuki Bakugou but with terribly crippling anxiety were a couple of them)
