FUN STUFF | ROCK YOUR WEEKEND | FALL FUN

Wanna write a novel? What're ya waiting for?!

 
I’ve got a confession: I’m probably the only writer who has absolutely no ambition to write a novel. That being said, I’m dusting off a notebook this November and putting pen to paper. Not necessarily to write a whole book, mind you, but in the spirit NaNoWriMo—that’s National Novel Writing Month to you—I’ve decided it’s time to get the creative juices flowing.

 

Whether you want to be the youngest published novelist ever or simply are aching to tell the world a story, short or long, GL is daring YOU to partake in NaNoWriMo this month. You can write a pile of words…or just one. We don’t care! We just want you to start thinking creatively.

 

Log on to to ywp.nanowrimo.org and check out the Young Writer’s Program. They’ve got tons of prompts and writing challenges to get ya started, expert pep talkers if ya get stuck and safe, moderated forums that’ll allow you to chat with other young writers and mentors.

 

Are you gonna write this month? Talk it out!

My teachers have never let us or told us about this. I think I'm going to give it a try. I have already starteed to write two different books. It is weriod because one day I have ideas for the first book and the next day I have ideas for the second book. Its weriod but kinda fun. I need some more stuff to talk about in my books. Can you help me get some ideas for it? Thanks. Tong

Honestly, GL? You don't even use proper spelling in an article for writing. What message (conscious or not) does that send?

I didn't know this exsisted but it helps. I'm working on a narrative for my literacy class and so far I have 30 pages in a size 11 font on word. My teacher has set the deadline for friday but is giving me an exception becuase of how well im doing. I hope I can get something done with my finished product...

I love to write all the time but by the time I get to about sixty or so pages, I lose interest and get bored in what I'm writing... But I'm really good at it(:

I've tried Nanowrimo the past 2 years and failed miserably. I'm not even trying this year, though my siblings are.

I love writing! Smile In class when I was in 5th grade we had to plot out our story before we wrote it, I couldn't stand it! I always have to make it up as I go. In 4th grade my teacher gave me a detention for not making the chart because it isn't how I write.
Does anyone else here not give there stories a name before they are done?

I'm writing a novel right now called "Witches" it's about a girl who was born under a full moon on Halloween near an enchanted lake and is given magical powers. And she must find the crystal heart before a old wizard that turned evil finds it and rules the world. Amalia E.

Thank you so much for showing us this site! I'm totally doing that and I LOVE that site! It's so helpful. My story is called "It's All About Love". It's kind of a play on words because Love is a cat but when a girl finds her, her life really is all about the feeling love and the actual living "Love". But anyway, I just wanted to say thanks, and to any girls who don't want to do it, you're really missing out! Smile

I'm doing the "Adult program" for this. I'm going to for sure reach the 50,000 words, and I really hope I'm good enough to get a (Oh, what do they call it?!?!?) anyway, its 100,000 words.

by MasterDucttaper on 11/6/2011 9:16:17 AM

 
 

I'm at 11,000 words! But I'm doing the regular one

by superstarlala on 11/6/2011 9:15:07 AM

 
 

Seriously? I heard about this through school, and I've been signed up for it for about a month. I actually saw this article because I was on my computer writing my novel.

by MasterDucttaper on 11/6/2011 9:10:49 AM

 
 

Already on it! About 6,000 words! And I will finish. I am not letting myself down! Hehe, good luck everyone this is so much fun!
I love writing so much-since forever no joke. I don't remember the time I didn't want to be an author. Laughing

I'm already signed up!! Smile

Also, the youngest published novelist was seven when she wrote her book, so I don't think any of us here will be earning that title.

by rock-itpop on 11/6/2011 12:48:22 AM

 
 

I'm already close to 9000 words into my NaNoWriMo novel.

I've been writing since third grade. I've been invited to France for reading competitions, and I actually win quite a few in my school. I've been looking for a website like this for a while, thank god one actually showed up.
