    @ Saeira.
    I like bittersweet repeat, but I'd leave the second repeat off.

    It's On Wings of Gold but I'm thinking of changing it to Bittersweet Repeat, Repeat or something else.

    @ Lady Nikki Nightmare
    I'm excited as well! And yours is about the same as with me. I have a plot but the scenes are in no order either except like a couple in the beginning and end. And I also need a new title; the one I have doesn't work.

    #ohwell

    Also thank you! ^-^

    @ Saeira.
    I have a plot I want to follow, I've had it for a while actually, and my 11 scenes are in no particular order either. Just random thoughts. :) I'm kind of excited about this. And good luck to you too!

    @ Airi.
    I don't have a whole outline or anything to go by. If I did I'd probably never be able to finish the story because I feel boxed in too. One of my scene plans basically reads like this; Scene: Murder, 47 stabbings, foggy night, Becky Owens. And that is literally in the summary that I posted on mibba. That's also pretty much the baseline for the plot in my head. I don't have a set okay I write this on this day then this the next day. That's not creativity to me, and I'm too creative to stick to anything like that anyways. I'm all for free writing, that's how most of my solo stories are.

    Thank you for the encouragement for me and for everyone else reading this. Also, congrats on winning two years in a row :). It seems like a big deal to be able to say you won that... at least to me it does!

    Good luck to you too!! Arms

    I've got nothing planned for NaNo. Shifty
    I never plan anything. It's just not who I am as a writer. Honestly, I feel like planning hinders my writing because I feel like I need to stay in this little box and I just....hate that feeling. I hate feeling like my creativity is confined. I'm a free writer to the end. Cute
    Yet I've still won both years I've done it and fully intend to successfully finish this year. I suppose this is just reassuring you (and anyone else) that a plan is not absolutely necessary to complete NaNo. I do better without a plan so I go without one. Not having much of a plan for NaNo might work for someone. ^.^

    I also edit during November. I cannot just not edit. It's not in me; I'm too much of a perfectionist. I edit and delete as I work through November. I've still managed to complete NaNo at least two weeks in. The point here is don't rely too much on other peoples' tips. They might work for certain people but not for others. Find your niche. Find what works best for you.

    Good luck~ :3

    Good luck! And same for me with being a newbie. (or at least committing to actually doing it)

    I also have a whole bunch of scenes planned out. I have the plot for the most part, but I don't know what order the scenes go in or anything.
