i'm gonna be attempting this this year. I've already got a plot in mind, i'm just doing the worldbuilding for it and such (even if I'm not going to include all of those details in the story..they're nice to look at and have)

Ohhh okay. Probably not going to do it then lol, I'm completely unprepared. Maybe next year.

same her i started it but i can't do it o don't have enough time

you can prep this month! it's preptober for a reason(or you can just pants it, write what you want during the month and pray to your preferred deity you can hit the word count!)

I'm going to be participating again this year. I have 28 chapters planned so far, but I probably won't make it that far (last year I got to like 14 or 15 chapters when I hit the 50,000 word goal).

Ohhh okay. Probably not going to do it then lol, I'm completely unprepared. Maybe next year.

Last year I did all my planning in like 3 days before Nanowrimo started and did just fine. Granted, I still had a pretty good idea of what I wanted my story to be, but you still have almost a month to plan.

I can’t get on rn because I don’t have a laptop, but how does the buddy thing work, anyway?

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

It's going to be me birthday in 10 days

Well hap early birthday then!!

aww thank you :>

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?

Um
You don't worry about it being good
That's the point of nano?

yeah, that's why assholes like me don't bother planning. i gave up halfway through a basic plot

Yes. I tried it once, and of course I failed because I can't write an ending to anything to save a life.

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)/¯

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

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)

I’m a sophomore too? Is this like required thing at your school?

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

Nanowrimo isn't required where I live, I only heard about it when I joined notebook lol

I’ve known what it is, I just decided it might be fun. I’ve got me requirements

I might actually start writing this year. I tried inktober but I haven't completed day one yet so I gave up on that

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

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)

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
