drill Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Just wondering, is anyone else planning on participating this year? This is my first year doing so, and I'm a bit nervous as I've never written 50,000 words before . My novel is going to have music and slice of life genres, but beyond that, I haven't really planned out that much detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ganbatte @drill! Alas, I haven't written a story let alone a novel since high school. Writing essays and reports at university then work sort of dulled my creativity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks @Optic! I'll need it, as I only have 650 words so far I'll probably be able to do some catching up today though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokii Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I would love to but the only thing I hate is writing and I suck at writing. Plus my creativity is horrible so there nothing much to help for you but I will cheer you a simple, "Good luck~" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks @Pokii! Honestly, my creativity is about zero, so my whole novel is cliche I'm not that bad at writing, but I can say for certain, this is the first time I've written anything for fun.

drill Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 So, I've been putting a lot of effort into this the last few days, and I'm finally at 6600 words. I still have a long way to go though Luckily, I'm only on the third day in the novel, so I still have a lot more content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livan Goh Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 @drill haha good luck!!! The longest I've ever gotten was like 22k of words for my story. Can't imagine writing a 50k word novel lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 @Livan Goh: Thanks! Although, I won't finish it during November (work commitment is far too high for that), I have roughly 45k of my novel planned out, while only around 12.5k is actually written right now, I'll probably finish before the end of December... hopefully. And to be honest, I had my doubts about being able to write a 50k novel before starting this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 How's this coming along @drill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 How's this coming along @drill? Oh wow, well, I haven't had that much time to work on this, especially since I have all 400 level classes now, and they want sooo much writing. By the time I'm done with that, I'm all written out. What I really want to do is go back and revise the 12.5k words I've already written as there are some things with the characters that I really need to iron out. Since you brought it up again though, I think I might start getting back on writing and revising this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
