NaNo Squee
Aug. 2nd, 2008 10:38 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
sulwenIt's that time of year again! Every year at about this time, I start to get revved up for NaNo...despite the fact that it doesn't start for another three months. I'm getting ready to start my planning for this year's novel, but I'm not quite there yet. So to help pass the time, I'm going to go through this year's forums and collect my favorite bits in this post. Cause I'm obsessed like that! I'm also going to put random writing-related stuff here. So this post is pretty much just for me - I don't see anyone else being particularly interested.
Ok, this became more my gratuitous "Yay Nano!" post more than anything else...
As of August 2, 2008, I type 71 words per minutes in Dvorak.
"Obsession is your friend. Write about what fascinates you. If that means writing about gay vampire space pirates, then that's what you should do. If you want to write 50,000 words of smut, do it. If you're fascinated by geology, make your main character a geologist. Don't worry about how silly or strange your idea is; you'll have a much better chance of succeeding if you write about your interests."
"Why do writers write? Because it isn't there." - Thomas Berger
Theme songs. For everything. Characters, settings, themes, mood.
Look at the Magna Cartas for new ideas when stuck. And when a scene just isn't moving at all, make sure it's not on the "Things I Hate" list.
Talismans!
"The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising ("but of course that's why he was doing that, and that means that...") and it's magic and wonderful and strange. You don't live there always when you write. Mostly it's a long hard walk. Sometimes it's a trudge through fog and you're scared you've lost your way and can't remember why you set out in the first place. But sometimes you fly, and that pays for everything."
- Neil Gaiman
Thirty Reasons for Thirty Days: Why you [yes, you!] should participate in National Novel Writing Month
By sushimustwrite
1. Completing a novel (or for some, even starting a novel) is one more thing to cross off the life goals list.
2. Nanowrimo offers camaraderie with fellow novelists via the forums.
3. It's another excuse to sit in front of the computer (or notebook) and gulp mass quantities of caffeine.
4. Nanowrimo offers the realization that, contrary to popular belief, you are not the busiest person in the world, even with Nanowrimo.
5. If you've never written a paper in one night (or two, or three) before, you eventually will. Nanowrimo is good practice.
6. If you're still in school, you can procrastinate writing by doing homework. The opposite procrastination technique works equally well. If you're not in school, you can procrastinate in this way by doing something that you should actually be doing, such as laundry or taking out the trash.
7. You can buy Nanowrimo t-shirts to declare your insanity to the world.
8. If you break 50,000 words before 30 November and get it verified, you get a super-cool certificate and winner's icon.
9. Even if you don't finish, you can still brag by saying, "I'm writing a novel this month. What are you doing?"
10. Haven't you ever wanted to answer "How are you?" with a number? Now you can.
11. Most people [cough...teachers] say, "Write about this topic." With Nanowrimo, any imaginable topic can be your novel, even butt-kicking pirates from Jupiter. [Hey, there's an idea...]
12. It's a chance to let your inner critic loose for thirty days. Let a typo become a part of your novel. Invent swear words for your characters to use. Watch what comes out when you don't have an inner critic to stop you.
13. It costs only time, sanity, and social life.
14. How long does cyanide take to kill someone? What kind of knives did the Greeks use? Get the answers from fellow Wrimos.
15. The number one reason that people don't pass 50,000 words is because [surprise!] they don't begin. If you write just one measly word, you're already ahead.
16. Thousands of people around the world--different everything--participate. They share a love of writing...and their ideas with you.
17. Just because your character is stuck doesn't mean that you have to be. Use a deus ex machina or a snide reference to whatever you want. Kill your main character if you want to. Just get your novel out of that block!
18. Your participation will mock those authors who take a lot more time writing novels. Those novels are typically much better novels, but it really is possible to write a draft in a month.
19. Allow others around you to question your sanity [assuming they don't already question it, that is.]
20. You can become a hermit for thirty days...or at least while you're writing. This excuse will work only for a month at a time, though.
21. You can threaten someone with, "If you don't [annoying action], I'll write you into my novel and kill you there!"
22. Nanowrimo helps you to realize the value of sleep.
23. Writing a novel is an excuse not to go out with friends or to that annoying event that you just can't stand going to.
24. The adrenaline rush that comes along when you've just written 1500 words in an hour is wonderful. Nanowrimo should be a drug.
25. Nanowrimo gives you an opportunity to improve your typing or scribbling skills without those boring lessons.
26. Even though you're procrastinating on something, you're also learning the art of time management.
27. There's a story in your head that must come to life. If it doesn't, those characters will hate you forever.
28. After writing a book in a month, nothing will intimidate you.
29. It's fun!
30. It really is possible.
Desktop calendars with daily wordcount goals on them.
It's cold in November - something that seems obvious, but I never quite remember until it gets here. Items specifically knitted for NaNo-ing might be a good idea...
NaNo blog! An LJ specifically created for following NaNo progress. I may use my seldom-to-never updated writing LJ for this purpose.
Novel in a Day. I'm going to give it a real shot one of these days.
Candles! I have lots of them, but I think I might be buying some brand-new special NaNo-ing candles this year. Wonder if I can find something that will recreate the smell of the tower that my story is set in?
Candy! I'm totally going to Godiva again this year. That was an AWESOME motivator last year.
Baby names book! Because nothing stops the flow like having to sit and think of a name.
Character images! I prefer artwork rather than actual photographs, but the important thing is to get a visual.
Vaccuum the cat. Or: why is the alligator in the tree? Or one of hundreds of other phrases that pretty much come down to: revel in the randomness.
Porn! Ok, not really, especially in this year's idea, but it's a great way to simply pad wordcount on really bad days. I totally did this last year. I had two characters that I did NOT want together, but they wouldn't shut up about it, so I wrote a random scene where they fucked and cut it as soon as November ended.
I'm a true NaNo vet this year. I feel like a record of 2-0 and countless hours of forum browsing qualifies me to answer pretty much anything that a noob could ask.
I've gotta up my goal this year. 50k isn't challenging enough anymore.
Writing in class! The best and most productive writing time I ever have is when I'm bored in class. Not even kidding.
New music! Preferably something I can get really, really addicted to. Like for the whole month.
Midnight dash! November begins on a Saturday this year, so I won't have to get up early the next day, and I'll totally be up and writing all night.
Word wars! I wish there was a place to do these year-round, because I totally would. They are pretty much the only reason I've ever won NaNo.
The blue/green/purple bar! Watching that little bar move along brings me far more joy that it reasonably should.
Writing in weird places! Bookstores, Starbucks, school, outside, bed...well, bed's probably not the best idea...
Pep talks, especially Chris Baty's talks about each week and how different they are.
Recognizing people on the NaNo forums. There are several awesome people there that I'm glad to know.
Some favorite dares:
- Have a character whose sole purpose is to give away the plans of the other characters to the bad guy.
- Talk to yourself all through the novel. More word padding!
- Gender swap scene. Enough said.
- Include a talking banana in your novel.
* Bonus points if the banana has an irrational fear (of flying, heights, spiders, etc.).
* Triple points if the banana's fear is central to the plot.
-Have a character whose eye colour (or hair colour, or skin colour) changes every time you mention it.
+ DP if nobody mentions it
+ TP if it's got massive importance to the plot
+ TP and COOKIE (yum) if the character who does the changing notices it, realises its massive importance to the plot, and tells everyone. And they think she's joking.
-Include a character whose sole goal is to pop up in random scenes and say "The thot plickens!"
*BP if at least one of those scenes is plot-irrelevant, but the character pops up anyway.
*DBP if the scene takes place in a gender-specific area, and the character is the opposite gender.
*TBP if the character hides in the MC's house (like, in a closet or something) just to pop up and say "The thot plickens!"
-Write your novel in the second person. All of it. This means "you." You, you, you, you, you. *Bonus points if you pull it off without making it a "choose your adventure" kind of novel.
-Include the bad guys' parents in the novel
*BP if try to get him/her to bed by 9
*DBP if they do this successfully
*TBP if they're the heroes of the story
-Have a great literary figure misquote their own work
*BP if they do this more than once
*DBP if no one notices
*TBP if no one notices despite the quote being famous
*QBP if the misquote becomes the famous one
*My Soul if the literary figure is Shakespeare
-Have the entire story occur in the span of one second
-Include a random song and dance sequence
-Have one character do a tarot reading and then, while all the other characters are pondering the symbolic meaning of a particular card that came up, the literal subject of that card (whatever the picture on the card was of) actually appears
-Use magnet poetry to construct your plot and/or the happenings in each chapter
-Have something a character reads or writes on the inside of a bathroom stall turn into a major plot point.
-Have a character that only speaks in monologues.
^^This is only a very small sampling of the huge amount of dares out there!
Adopt-An-Opening-Line:
-Under the floorboards, in the east wing of the house, Jeremy contemplated his existence.
-"They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but you'd be hard pressed to win a duel with one."
-Some things aren't worth dying for. This was one of them.
^^Again, there are many more!
You know you're procrastinating when...
...you spend more than half an hour researching for a meal name that will be mentioned once as a supper dish in your story and will then have no further plot significance.
...when you've been browsing the NaNoWriMo forums in search of "inspiration" since sunrise.
...when you're still combing YouTube for that one music video that was supposed to help you write five hours after you began your search.
...when the hours become as nothing to you, and slide by quick as seconds.
...You become a "regular" on the forums, and even though it's after November and most people have gone away, you're still cruising around and picking up stray plot ideas.
...when things you would normally avoid doing, such as cleaning out your closet or dusting behind the dresser suddenly become tasks of the utmost importance.
...when you would rather cry and delete your novel then turn off the internet for more than five seconds.
Tea! Ah, how would I ever get through NaNo without my beloved hot teas? I actually don't drink it overly much outside of November, but during NaNo I go through it like crazy.
The Spork Room! I don't really keep up with the NaNo one because it moves so fast, but Sporkers are pretty much the bestest people ever.
NaNo-isms! "My definition of a NaNoism is that it's a cross between a typo and a grenade. A normal typo is just annoying, but a NaNoism is a typo that smashes everything in the vicinity into nonsense."
-"It was a falcon-sized falcon."
-"The two sworn enemies glared daggers in third person and put their paws on their hips."
-"She...well, she everything."
-"Emryana tied her pony to a stalagmite…or was it a stalactite? It was impossible to remember."
-"One day she was walking through the streets at night."
And so on...
You know NaNo has eaten your soul when...
...you make up fanfic for other people's nano chars
...no one and no thing is safe from being written into your story, and you frantically try to make it not obvious.
...you get your planner for 2008 and you first check November to see how the weekends are next year.
... when you stay up till 2:30 am on the fresh new NaNoWriMo forums
...you start counting down four months in advance.
...you punch yourself in the face to break writer's block.
...when you physically went into withdrawal for the week that the forums weren't up, and had a royal spazz when they came back up and you couldn't surf them because the traffic load was so high.
...when you've already come to terms with the fact that you won't sleep more than four hours a night during November.
...when you actively eavesdrop on conversations in hopes it will spark an idea for your Nano or you can use the dialogue for your characters.
...when you're counting down the days until no one ever wants to hear you mention it again.
..you wish it wasn't only during November.
...you find yourself trapped in your car during a blizzard, and as the snow piles over the windshield, your first thought is not of how to escape or stay warm or find food or if you'll have to designate a corner of your car as a latrine, but instead "Sweet pens of Lucifer! Now how will I finish my NaNo?"
And there's more, of course...
