Who is already preparing for #NaNoWriMo and what steps are you taking? Outlines? Notes? ...anyone entirely winging it?

@wrimosftw

I'm trying to get to the outlining part. Otherwise I'll wing most of it, #NaNoWriMo style. :D

@AmosTFairchild Australia

- I normally wing a novel for a start, but I'm actually outlining this one a bit. At least the first half... Then gets thin.

@robbiebear03

I should really get around to outlining something, although I'll probably end up winging it. #NaNoWriMo

@AlexConno England

Isn't one supposed to just wing. It supposed to be the pure pleasure of writing- ideas and planning be damned, I say!

Some of us are practicing with daily word counts and plotting.

@BooksDevoured Super Lame SC

if I don't decide what to write about soon, I will be winging it and that freaks me out!

I'm not sure either! I have two ideas for stories based on a similar theme which have been in my head a while @BooksDevoured

@BooksDevoured Super Lame SC

we only have a few weeks left to choose! freaks out

11:11AM Wed, October 12 2011

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

But since I haven't written either yet...that worries me. And the story I REALLY want to write is....dangerous. @BooksDevoured

11:11AM Wed, October 12 2011

@BooksDevoured Super Lame SC

ooooooo! Do the dangerous one!!! Big risk could net big reward! Be brave!

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

the word count is freaking me out. It comes to about 7 pages per day...

11:13AM Wed, October 12 2011

@BookBender

My goal is 2,000 words a day. Have you tried Write or Die? It works wonders!

11:15AM Wed, October 12 2011

@Leeswammes Netherlands

Oh, you're doing this? Me too. I'm Leeswammes, as usual (look me up). I've started some notes - outline

11:16AM Wed, October 12 2011

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

lol well winging it is what I usually try to do... but I've yet to write/finish a book. So...

11:19AM Wed, October 12 2011

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

great! I'll add you as a buddy whenever that feature becomes available.

11:22AM Wed, October 12 2011

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

never heard of it... is this like a writing organizer program?

11:23AM Wed, October 12 2011

@BookBender

It forces you to write for a specific time period. I use the online version: http://t.co/oNVtNyog

11:24AM Wed, October 12 2011

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

lol so it sarts yelling at you if you're failing? I don't know if I can take that kind of abuse!

11:32AM Wed, October 12 2011

@BookBender

Yes. It's surprisingly effective. Though you can put it in "gentle" mode. The clock counting down is enough to motivate me.

11:33AM Wed, October 12 2011

@soulswallo California

Dude. It's awesome. It totally keeps you focused because you really don't want it to start with the punishment. @BookBender

11:33AM Wed, October 12 2011

@Leeswammes Netherlands

Yes, please! Have you got any ideas yet?

11:46AM Wed, October 12 2011

@RoofBeamReader Chicago, IL

ehh... I have two ideas that haven't gotten anywhere and one I haven't attempted yet.

11:57AM Wed, October 12 2011

@Leeswammes Netherlands

Ah yes. I've got one idea that's still rather erm.. undeveloped. But I do like to write and see where it goes.
