Anyone taking part this year? I'm doing it but haven’t done as much planning or organisation as I would have liked.

I am. Went to our region's launch event today.

PermanentTemporary · 30/10/2022 21:02

Wow. I hadn't thought about it. I did it five years ago and really surprised myself with how far I got, maybe I should!

OrangePomander · 30/10/2022 21:04

I am, but I’ve done absolutely no preparation.

Ionn · 31/10/2022 02:39

I am as well. I have an idea and a few random scenes jotted down. Was hoping to have a full outline done by now but got distracted by other things.

thewolfandthesheep · 31/10/2022 03:04

I will try. # Hopeful. I need to make time for this one.

SantaScribe · 31/10/2022 07:14

I am. I'm going to set aside at least 4 days where I do very little else and then the rest should come quite easily through writing stints as and when.

That's the plan anyway!

MargaretThursday · 31/10/2022 17:59

I'm going to give it a go. No preparation, but I don't normally. I enjoy the writing and the support anyway.

CongaLine · 31/10/2022 20:40

I am. I've got an idea and a main character but not much more.

Curioushorse · 31/10/2022 20:41

I am! Though will probably aim for only 30,000 words. Any more than that and I know it'll be rubbish!

LouisaMayAlcott · 01/11/2022 08:46

I am. Usually at this time of year I'm editing but it's fallen just right this year. If I can complete it I will have almost finished the current book.

britneyisfree · 01/11/2022 09:16

Me. Thought I was organised but now I want to write a completely different book.

Valhalla17 · 01/11/2022 09:28

I'm going to do it. Although forgot to declare my book..so will do that this morning and get cracking!

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 01/11/2022 14:34

I'm going to try. I have a fully formed idea but tend to get bogged down with trying to get every sentence perfect so hoping to just get the words down on the screen and to hell with the quality!

PermanentTemporary · 01/11/2022 15:45

I have got zero ideas. I might just try Some Writing for 1500 words and see what happens - more like an exercise....

LouisaMayAlcott · 01/11/2022 17:46

So, first day and I am all fired up lol. And I'm halfway through writing a book so don't need ideas I just need to do it. 2300 words today.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 01/11/2022 17:49

I will be doing it but am unwell today after my flu jab yesterday so will have to catch up.

SantaScribe · 01/11/2022 17:55

Not well today either so now I'm already playing catch up!

MargaretThursday · 01/11/2022 19:34

Done my first day's entry. Not brilliant, but started anyway.

PermanentTemporary · 01/11/2022 23:34

I wrote the opening to a thriller. No idea what's happening, who these people are or what will happen next.

GrandMarnierChocolate · 01/11/2022 23:51

Me. No big idea but started anyway😁

Been so busy today, it’s now tomorrow, I have some free time coming up as I have a weeks house sitting - just writing and looking after two Maine Coons!

OP posts:
britneyisfree · 03/11/2022 11:25

I've done less than 200 words

LouisaMayAlcott · 03/11/2022 14:34

Going well here, I'm up to 8k words. I don't want to do much at the weekends so I am trying to write extra during the week.

OrangePomander · 03/11/2022 15:13

I’ve only managed a couple of hundred words so far, after unexpectedly busy days. Hopefully I can catch up at the weekend.

SantaScribe · 03/11/2022 15:15

I need to catch up at the weekend!
