Writing Challenges - Script Frenzy and NaNo

[Emi]

So Nano started 12:00 am this morning how many of you guys got at least 1600 words done?

So far I have around 1400 give or take.

Happy Writing!

hour and half study hall today so i managed to knock out about 1600 words. That made me happy.
Thanks to peter for giving me an insperation for my main charicters name. _supposed to be a happy/sad smiley

I'm dragon_writer there. I'm only at twenty thousand words *Cries* I lost ten thousand a while back, got SOME of them back again, but it really kind of threw me...and now that i allow myself a little editing...*Shrugs* i'll use the break to my advantage though.

I'm doing Nano, too, but I'm only at 12,000 words because I'm hand-writing it. Last year I won, but I was on vacation for two weeks this month, so at least I kind of have an excuse for not writing very much... Nano is a lot of fun even if you don't win it.

*takes on Roshaunianly snobbish accent.* What is this.....Script Frenzy you speak of....?

[Emi]

Scriptfrenzy is much like nano but instead you write a script. It can be a playwright or a screenplay. The goal is to reach 20,000 words in the month of June. It's completely hectic because that's, for some people, around finals and stuff. I didn't do it last year, but I'm sure going to do it this year....

With my story in nano, I've lost. I only got around 10,000 words and I've already finished! This was only my first year, so hopefully next year will be soooo much better!! I'm Fairyworld1217 there by the way.

Ugh nano. I have laid mine to rest at 2200 words. Holidays and family crisis are not the best time to write. And i just so wanted to off my main charicter and be done with the sniviling brat. Maybe he falls down a flight of stairs. A banna peel, or a piano would be things for him to avoid in teh near future. Malicious cackle.

i have an advantage, though it hsan't helped much recently. STill, it'll allow me to catch up with luck. The advantage being that i have a dana wireless from alpha smart, allowing me to write wherever i go and then hook that writing up into a computer and send it in for the word varification.

I've sort of come to a halt on mine. I should at least be able to cross the 30,000 threshold, but no way am I gonna be able to write the last 20,000 in...3 days? Uyy.

Anyway, here's mine. --> http://www.nanowrimo.org/es/user/54182

30,000. That's better than in previous years. And you know, I think I really could have won this year, only I have work and school and so many projects. I just finished writing a 40 page annotated bibliography on Orcs for my Reference class. It's not even done, not really, but it will do for handing in to my professor, and I plan to continue it beyond this semester, maybe turn it into a dissertation.

My next project is the final assignment for my publishing class, which is another "So You Want to Be a Wizard" paper. Does anyone know who DD's current editor is? I don't think Jane Yolen OR Michael Stearns are at Harcourt anymore.

Congratulations to everybody who made it! I remember the feeling of triumph when I got through it (by the skin of my teeth and at the final hour) last year.

Peter Murray would've been proud.
