NaNoWriMo

[finch]

So who else in RF is doing NaNo?

One of the things I've had the most success with in the past is breaking my story up into 30 chapters so I know exactly what I'm writing on any given day. This year, when it came time to move from index cards and random notes to an actual chapter outline, it occurred to me that there are 30-prompt color lists out there.

I'm currently waffling between Battleship Grey and Halloween Orange. Anybody have an opinion?

(It also occurred to me to wonder if the Challenge Color for November is going to be a 30-prompt color, but that doesn't seem to get posted far enough in advance for my needs anyway.)

I'm afraid not; the way I do NaNo, it's an exercise in "jump into a barely-planned story concept and then write madly in a nonlinear fashion until everything coheres". Leaving the whole mess unposted so I can just mentally note "that means X subplot is all wrong but I'll change it later" is an important part of it for me. ;P

(I may well clean it up and post it afterwards, though. The last NaNo I finished was the first draft of Mort/James, after all. - I know I haven't been posting on Mort/James much, but I'm hoping to get back to it after New Year's, if things go well.)

Thanks for asking, though! It's always neat to know someone's interested. :-)

I'll look forward to maybe seeing it eventually, then! :)
