Okay, then do it. Money where mouth is.

Also, I would like to read it when you're finished plx.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

I think about this every year, and every year I have more important stuff to do that gets in the way. I'll try it. I probably won't make it. I think I'll be too busy this year knitting Christmas gifts.

Hehehe. National Talking About National Novel Writing Month.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

Premise of my Novel Idea:

15 year-old loner find out her left eye is sensitive to the sun and her right eye is sensitive to the moon. Her grandmother tells her she has the Eyes of Kronos, a special trait found only in every other generation of her family. Why every other generation? Her family is an offshoot branch of the original Dracula and they've kept the vampirism secret. Now the 15 year old must learn to cope with her new found vampire-like traits (think Blade except no ass kicking skills....just yet) and her fight against other vampires and the humans who want to use her power for evil. In the end, she must decide whether she will stay a vampire to save humanity or become a human again for the sake of her sanity.

If that doesn't sound kick ass, I'll just cry.

I hate vampires.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

My vampire novel idea is pretty turny.

It's about this guy (whose parents died in a fire, he escaped with his brother when he was a kid but his brother disappeared during the hubbub.) who after having phone sex with his fiance hears her scream and the line dies. Her parents turn up dead and he finds out that his parents and her parents owned some joint property in the form of a mountain cabin in the Alps, so he leaves his town (some weird people are trying to kill him) and heads to the cabin.

While he's there, he's attacked by a monster and runs into his brother who he instantly recognizes due to a scar on his cheek, and the cabin is destroyed. He's taken back to a hospice in a town not too far away before being attacked again by another monster. He rallies a search party to try and destroy the monster and locate Sarah, his fiance, but when they go out, they're all destroyed, including a nurse that's taken an affinity to him.

Finally, he wakes up and the town is empty. He heads to the hospice and finds that the basement door is open and heads down, and follows a tunnel that leads him to an underground lake which houses the entrance to a castle. He finds the nurse again, and they make their way into the castle, dodging traps and things.

Finally, after the nurse is ACTUALLY killed instead of just imprisoned, he finds out the people pulling the strings are actually his parents, a set of immortals who kidnapped his wife to draw him to the Alps and had to do it that way because a group of anti-immortals were onto him. His parents were almost killed in the fire, set by his brother, who works for the anti-immortals, and the father has to either reign for another 600 years or die, but the only way is to have someone in his bloodline take over willingly, so the father kills Sarah and tells the main character that he can help her if he takes his power, which he does. Then the brother comes in as the father is dying and tries to kill his brother, but fails and dies.

The end!

(There's also more - The entire opening town is filled with 'immortals' and if the king and queen died without a successor, so would they all, the father was actually part of the plot to assasinate Lincoln, etc etc, more intrigue in the mountain, that's just the bare bones version.)

Trippy Plot. O_o

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

I seem to be failing miserably.

Nov 2, 5:00 PM: 485 words.

Well, that test I just wrote didn't help. I've been studying more than I've been writing. Right now I'm writing some. So I'd better hit 3k tonight, or I'm screwed. I have sex class in an hour. And yes, I said "sex class" instead of just "class" because I like to flaunt it.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

sweet, Waterloo has a class where you get to have sex?!

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

Turns out I've decided to write a grammar story in the shell of an RPG.

Main character's name is Semicolon. His best friend is Ellipsis.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

Well I've started. Almost the end of day 2 and I only have 1295 words. Not a bad start, considering the fact that I've only put in about an hour and a half of serious writing. (Okay maybe not even that much).

At least I'm ahead of Chrissi...

So what's everyone else's status?

(P.S: Could we get this thread stickied? At least for the month of November.)

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

I haven't even started yet. But I'm starting today.
Here's the plot:

A boy has special powers that he doesn't know about until his brother is murdered. After his brother is killed, he lets the power go, and almost levels a city block. Luckily, no one inhabits the block that he leveled. Anyways, he naturally wants revenge on the people that killed his brother. But the person that killed his brother is a drug overlord and the leader of the largest gang in the city. He masters his powers while he progressivly kills people in the gang, until it's completely mastered and he comes face to face with the leader. But the leader has special powers too.

Sound good?

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

I am actually in a club at school that is doing this. What I am doing is instead of writing a 50K word novel I am writing a 50 page comic. I originally was thinking because a picture is worth a thousand words but it turns out officially, it isnt. Regardless I am doing that because it sounds like fun. Plotwise, it is kind of a superpower story set in feudal Japan.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls?

I have zero words written.

Exam week. Work on weekends. Not going to bother trying until next week.

Give me a solid hour on it and I'll be ahead of you all.

Re: NaNoWriMo: Got Balls? (Event has begun!)

Wow. I'm only at about 1200 words. I'm really behind. Gotta get with the program. But I'm so lazy and I hate my plot now.
