Hooray, November!

2009 November 1
by E.P.

October was a letdown for me this year, and I about jumped up and down when yesterday rolled around because it meant the month was ending. And since October sucked (in my book), November HAS to be better.

And I’ve decided within the past 12-ish hours that I’m going to be doing not one, but two of the following challenges this month.

Because maybe I’m a little crazy. And because it’ll make me as busy as I was this past month. (Seriously. October around these parts is NUTS.)

So friends? Let’s make this month a memorable one. And if you’re doing either challenge (or both!), please, please let me know so we can lean on each other when the going gets tough.

Happy November!

  • I did NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo in November 2007, and won both challenges (56,021 words of novel and 1 post daily for 30 days). You can do it!
  • Good for you! You've got me beat on those, but I hope I can at least completed one!
  • You're a crazy woman! Both NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo!?!?!?! Good for you. I envy your ability to kick some ass and take some names.
  • Haha, I am a little crazy. I hope I can at least kick some ass and take names with NaNoWriMo. I failed the other one... Oops.
  • I am forced to do a lot of things in my life and my world that is filled with responsibility. Writing for fun isn't one of them. So, while I won't be participating, you know I'll be following you. Hope this is the start of a very special month!
  • Thanks so much!
  • Nora_L
    I'm signed up for NaBloPoMo and I'm excited. Though not sure how I'll pull it off for some reason even though I've done it for the last three years!? So lean on me as much as you need to =)
  • How is it going for you? It didn't work out so well for me...
  • Wow you are ambitious! Good luck!
  • Hey, thanks! I wish I hadn't already failed NaBloPoMo!
  • You're a brave girl! I tried NaNoWriMo two years ago and lasted about a week, and did NaBloPoMo the past two years. I'm doing neither this year. This year my goal for the month is "get through this damn semester of grad school." :-P
  • I support your goal of "getting through this damn semester of grad school." I cannot even imagine doing grad school and either of the November challenges. It'd be WAY too much.
  • Oh my gosh both of them? I can't wait to hear how it's going, you are braver than me :)
  • Yeah, it sounded like a good idea. And I failed one already...
  • I'm going to give the whole NaBloPoMo thing a try this year too. I did it last year and failed by ONE day! Ha! Somehow I forgot...
  • Oh wow! You've done better than me. I have failed NaBloPoMo already. C'est la vie...
  • Oh and by that, of course, I meant I'm emailing YOU if I need a kick in the butt to post something for the day. ;) Good luck (to us both)!
  • Heh, I totally understood what you meant. (:
  • LaVieDeRose
    I'm going to participate in NaBloPoMo, but not NaNoWriMo this year. I'm afraid the only novel I would write during this time would be depressing.
    Here's to a better month and many more to come!
  • YAY you! And a depressing novel could be OK, too. (: You never know what you'll come up with.

    Yes, to a better month and more to come for both of us!
  • Ummmm thanks for bringing up NaBloPoMo. Now I kinda have to participate! :)
  • How's it going for you?

    ... I failed.
  • Why was October a let down? I mean, it was for me too, but I'd like to talk to you about it if that's okay :)

    I think we should become e-mail buddies so we can motivate each other through NaNoWriMo...I am having a bit of difficult getting into it, but I'm getting more into a flow now. Can't wait to talk to you!
  • October was just... eh. And the beginning of November snuck up and kicked me in the face. But things are looking better now.

    Let's continue talking about NaNoWriMo because I totally need some motivation these days!
  • KT
    I'm doing NaBloPoMo! It will be my first time with it, so hopefully we can motivate each other!!!

    xoxo
  • Good luck! You're going to do great! How is it going?
  • Gah! Good luck!

    My reader is going to be out of control this month.
  • Haha, thanks.

    My Reader is totally out of control!
  • Both? You are a brave girl!
  • Haha, was a brave girl. Already failed one. Oops.
  • writetoreach
    I was just going to ask what you decided. Yay for the crazy choice! It's going to be an experience.
  • Haha it IS crazy, but I've failed NaBloPoMo, so I can focus on the other one. Granted, it wasn't a conscious decision. I forgot to write and then went home and that was it.
  • I blog pretty much every day so I guess I'm KIND of participating in the blog one. I seriously considered doing the writing one but I just wasn't into it this year, maybe next year!

    Anyways, good luck with both of them!!!
  • Thanks so much! Maybe you'll be able to do one or the other next year!
  • Best of luck! Hope November is better for you!
  • Hey, thanks! I already failed one, haha, and I know this month HAS to be better than October.
  • shobhna
    I so wish I could do NaNoWriMo, but it seems like one after the other, every year I have something crucial going on that makes me sidetrack from NaNo. This November, it's the fact that I'm graduating next year and need to study for my exams to get into grad school. :\

    Also, just an fyi, but i've moved back to Livejournal, because I've just hit that point in my personal life right now where I need to be private again, and just talk to my best friends, and public blogging requires a mask that I cannot wear. :\ Anyway, just wanted to let you know. I know you use LJ anymore, but I still have autumnsmile on my flist, and I noticed that last night and realized how nice it was that you and I had connected to each other again through blogs. :)

    Love you, Erin. *hugs*
  • You'll get to do it sometime, friend, and it'll be good. I cannot believe that you're GRADUATING next year! Ridiculous!

    Good to know. I'll have to head back to LJ to see what's going on with you.

    Love you, too, and I hope everything is going well!
  • ha, girl you are crazy! you are doing both?!?!?! good for you though! if anyone can do it, you can do it!
    i'm doing NaBloPoMo. and i am hoping i will actually fully complete it. it makes november a good month, lol.
    i'll be glad to read all your postings.
  • Haha, I really am, and I've already failed one of them. C'est la vie.

    Sending you positive vibes so you can complete yours!
  • kapachino
    I'm doing NaBloPoMo. But not the other - that's crazy! :)
  • I know. It was too much already, and I've failed NaBloPoMo. How is it going for you?
