You know you’re a musician when you’re in the middle of watching a movie and start squealing over the music going on in the background instead of the movie itself.

@sarah-vdh @anne_the_noob14 Thank you! 😃

@j-a-penrose I’ll remember that. 😉 Thanks for the feedback!

@evelyn I would totally do it again. 😃 And I would change it to be interactive with the people tackling it. That’s why I like Camp NaNoWriMo even more; because we get to actually be with the other writers for a month. People who GET us and are doing what we’re doing. Ya know?

@j-a-penrose A dream sequence? Oooooh, I read a post on this recently! It’s really helpful! Here’s a link:

5 Ways to Successfully Start a Book With a Dream

@j-a-penrose Woah this one is HARD.

Not so good one:

I drew my sword. Our swords met, and after only a few strokes, I could feel myself becoming weaker.

Everyone had been right about me. And I was going to die for it.

“I thought you were better than this,” my oponent said. He lowered his sword. “And I didn’t even expect much from you. I…

@j-a-penrose You really should wait a super long time every time we write these things cause wow. I just got goosebumps from reading MY OWN WRITING. Which is now proceeding to almost make me cry because I JUST DID THAT. In the past. With weird tenses.

@calebonline Hmmmm… that’s a hard question…

Well, if the characters are looking for him, they should probably be finding clues on how to find him, right? So maybe you can kind of thread things about the character on that trail in a way that allows the characters to learn more about him? I’m not sure exactly, since I don’t know what your story is 😛

Great job, @steward-of-the-pen @j-a-penrose @silverclaw-bonnetfolly @ariella-newheart @sarah-vdh !

My total (counting my Creative Writing and my NaNoWriMo novel) is… 53,105! I honestly didn’t think I would make it; this my first year ever finishing NaNoWriMo. :3

WELCOME TO THE GUILD! 😄

Thanks so much, @evelyn! 😄

@cassie-hartfinh You got sick! It’s totally not your fault. And 37,500 words is still a LOT. I honestly didn’t think I would make it either. And that’s a cool snippet! 🙂

I have to watch a recording for my Creative Writing class after lunch, but after I’m done it, I’ll see if I can tally up my writing. (unless I decide to do some other writing;…[Read more]

Welcome to the guild, @pursuewisdom! We are a small but mighty group of writers. 😉 I’ve personally been pretty inactive this month, due to NaNoWriMo, so my apologies for being a bit late to welcome you!

I HIT 50K IN MY NOVEL.

*collapses*

@steward-of-the-pen Love the character so much 😂 He sounds like me to my siblings sometimes, haha

OH MY GOSH @evelyn GREAT JOB!!! *throws confetti* You are amazing wow I am only at like 32k 😛 (Not my total-total, since I’m not counting my creative writing class writing) I’ll give this last week everything I’ve got! *rushes off to continue writing*

@j-a-penrose Okay, let me try! 🙂

10.

She rammed against a wall, hiding behind its meager shelter as the bullets finally caught up with her.

9.

She risked looking out, only to jerk her head back in to avoid being shot.

8.

She had to move. She was literally a sitting duck here.

One deep breath.

She pushed herself to her feet,…

@sarah-vdh That is so awesome! 😀 Love it!

@steward-of-the-pen A writer character?! That’s so awesome! I’ve also always wanted to write one 😛

@cassie-hartfinh I’m glad you’re feeling better! 🙂 Also, that’s a really interesting snippet! 😉 (and wow, great word count!)
