Opinions on NaNoWriMo - Comments

1. Yep. I've participated it in the past four years. I won 2012 but lost all the others. XD
2. Yep in 2012.
3. On here and fanfiction.net
4. I did outlines for all my work and maybe wrote a few scenes down beforehand.
5. My first one was a Thundercats novel about an OC marrying my favorite character and going on an adventure with him. The second novel was another Thundercats novel about a missing Thundercat (an oc of mine) losing her memories and being found by the Thundercats so she can get them back. I forgot all the other novels I did.

1. This will be my third year participating in it. ^.^

2. Yes, I've won both of the years I've participated in. Although I'm a bit more unsure of this year since I have a more demanding job now but I'll do my best~

3. I never did. The first year, I hated how the story ended up and deleted it eventually. The second year, my computer crashed on my and I unfortunately lost all the files for the story.

4. I didn't. I feel like I'm going to be the only one who says this or even encourages it but honestly, if planning isn't your thing then don't feel forced to plan. I've had a lot of people call me foolish for not planning out NaNo, but I've won for two years, haven't I? Can't be entirely foolish, ya know? I don't plan because planning makes me feel highly restricted; I don't feel like I'm free with my writing. I do a lot better when I don't plan and simply go where the wind takes me. I'm a free spirit even when it comes to writing. -^.^- So go with what feels best for you. Plan if it feels best or don't plan if it feels best. Both of them work. c:

5. The first year, my novel was a horror story about a group of five teenagers who make a blood pact to commit suicide together and find out what terrors await when you break a blood pact. The second year was about two princesses - one kind hearted and one evil spirited. It focused around the kind hearted princess trying to break away from the kingdom and the evil spirited one learning what it means to truly be a ruler. This year.... I'm debating between an abuse story, a possessed doll horror, or a story revolving around homelessness and the dark worlds of Japanese host clubs. It would really be about the dangers of homelessness and why it's a bigger deal than people realize.

1. A few times
2. Never but I'm determined to finish it this year!
3. Just on here, but I might post it on wattpad this year as well.
4. I planned every chapter but I just wrote down a sentence or two that I want in the chapter, but this year I'm going to plan every chapter in detail.
5. It was like a fantasy/ war novel about a soldier trying to overthrow the government. I might have to finish it some time, but not this year.

Thank you!

And yeah, pff, it was. It was actually a lot more gruesome but poorly written so I took it down. I only made it to the third chapter anyway.

@ Rick Grimes;
love the name! and that sounds like an interesting one

1. Yeah, last year
2. No
3. On here, but I deleted it
4. I actually didn't... It was all spontaneous(big mistake)
5. A man in an ice cream truck that killed children

1. Have you ever participated in NaNoWriMo? - In 2013
2. Did you complete it? - Yup!
3. Where did you post your work? - Only here
4. How did you prep beforehand? - Well, it was a story I started in 7th grade. I used that draft as a guideline for the new draft that I started from scratch.
5. What was your novel about? - A Nazi meets a Jewish prisoner and helps her out.

1. For the past four years now, I think.
2. Once, in 2011.
3. Only here. I don't post anywhere else but that's probably because Mibba's the only site I really go on.
4. Started compiling a draft of names, the setting, ages and all that...and then stopped.
5. Last year my novel was the same one I worked on the year before and the same one I'll be working on this year. It's about a woman becoming a doctor who specialises in curing heterosexuality.

1.) Yes.
2. Sadly, no. Complete some, but not all.
3. Don't feel like you have to stick to one site! Posting on different sites will get you more readers, something I found out firsthand. Currently I have stories on here, fanfiction.net, archiveofourown.org, and rockfic.net
4. I use my corkboard and write out the plot on note cards and stick them up there. That was really it.
5. Last year, an angel and a girl falling in love.
