NaNoWriMo

[featherynscale]

I'm toying with the NaNoWriMo idea this year. I'll be a little late to the party, but that's not insurmountable. I want to write with triadruid, which is not allowed, but it doesn't have to be an 'official' NaNoWriMo project, I suppose. We need to get a lot of back-story written for the D&D game, and this is a pretty good excuse to do it. Mostly I want data, and I want feedback. If we have a goal, and keep a word-count, which seems to be the big important part of the NaNo structure, that's instant feedback. I'm motivated by numbers. As for the other sort of feedback, well, I imagine that if we're writing game-world stuff, the poor bastards kind folks on the gaming filter will get to see it, and perhaps will comment. (EDIT: And if we're writing something else, the fiction filter gets it...)

I'm weirdly scared of writing. That probably means that I should do it.

I take the core of my writing advice from http://www.lifewrite.com/html/class.htm

For better or worse, I actually try to live my life by some of the points in WEEK9 on that page.

I can buy most of those. And yes, before triadruid mentions it, Steven Barnes is black. :)

Mention Black?

I didn't know Steve Barnes was black until very, very recently. triadruid makes fun of me for it, like I should know what people look like. Ha.

I met him for the first time at the Path seminar.
