And a line which I've decided I -must- fit in somewhere.

"Sloak, you mean to tell me that any minute now this whole place comes down on our head, and you're still staring at the loot?"
"Come off it Pri, that old doomsday prophety fellow said we had 10 minute 'afore this place comes to pieces, an' that was five minutes ago. That gives us five minutes, plenty of time t'oggle the shinies"
"Closer to six minutes now... you're going to get us killed!"
"So we have.... four? That's almost more than five!"

I like it but you're cheating, you can't start to write!!! XD (even if 82 words if nothing among 50 000)

actually it's ok to come up with lines that you wanna use and basic character things. it's even ok to start a rough plan for an outline... you just cant use anything written before, or start writing out pages now.

and alyssa.. if you log in, you can add writing buddies and look at their profiles. you can also log into the forum and talk with other people in the area and bounce ideas off other people. there's also amusing "dare" threads where you can take on challenges of character types/crazy lines/silly scenarios to add into your novel.

once nov. starts, you can upload excerpts of your work and keep a progress bar of how far you are.

Anyone started thinking about this?

I have a general plot idea at the moment along with some key plot details and situations. it's been something i've been toying with in my mind for a while now....

I already had a general idea and the characters when I registered and I never really thought to stop about it. I have to thank my sociology professor because most of my ideas magically appeared during her lectures ^-^; I wrote down the general plot yesterday (I have a beginning and an ending! :o) but I still have to come up with some details (the middle ? -_-;) and minor characters.
I really want to have everything ready by November and concentrate on writing enough per day, I won't lose >D

I also have had a general idea of what to write for a while now, but I haven't had time to actually write it down. So far I have the main characters and the basic storyline down, I just haven't ended it yet (I don't know how I want to end it, lol)

hmm... how come whenever I update it, whatever I wrote before it goes away and just what I just entered goes under "my novel"? Am I doing it wrong? >_<

the site is being slow cuz so many people are signing up/going on the forums/updating profile.

and alyssa, that part you enter on the site is just an excerpt to show on your profile. You can't actually post the whole thing on the site. But updating word counts is encouraged.

So it's into day 2.. how much has everyone written? ...I only had time to write like 100 words last night ;__; i'm gonna need to get crackin after this weekend and after my 2 exams.

I wrote 1400 words yesterday and it was way harder than I thought (and it took me 1 hour and a half -_-; )
I plan to write as much tonight but I'm sure I couldn't spend 2 hours on it every day *-*;
