I haven't written much in the past year and a half...So I'm doing an alternate NaNoWriMo: Promising to write for at least 30 minutes a day for the entire month. We'll see how that works out.

NaNo is how I finally finished the first draft of my first novel. I *literally* have been trying to write a book since before I could write--my first one was about hawaii I think: it had a front cover, a back cover, and a single page with crayon scrawlings of an island on it. So...two novels, maybe? lol

Pretty excited for NaNoWriMo this year because it'll be the first year participating. Hopefully the busy start of the month at work doesn't get in the way and I can turn it out.

another window timed out and notified me and that was what I had written. I'm just going to leave it that way.

Courtney: Frickin' classic. Love it.
Anybody decided what they're writing about yet? I have two ideas and can't settle on one. Possibly I should just finish rewriting the novel I have (the original first draft of which was a 2007 NaNo novel, and is almost finished) before starting a new one...

I'm nanoing again this year; I have done it kind of a lot of times but have only been successful at it in recent years. I'm working on what I hope will be the capstone to a trilogy this time out so that I can maybe take a break from it next year. I do find it helpful to have a month out of the year that I can just dedicate to tilting at that windmill.
I have some friends who all do a "prep" the month before; it gets the gears grinding ahead of time and gets you through a few revisions of outline, etc. I still don't end up with a draft I'd be willing to show anybody right away, but I've averaged about 120k by the end of the month every year that I've done "the prep" so I am feeling pretty confident that i can do this. Next stop afterwards is the final revision of the first book and hopefully getting up the nerve to actually do something with it. :\

I did some prep this year -- already had the idea for the novel but scrapped what I'd written and was looking for a way to get this started. Since my new laptop is a little too old for Scrivener, I'm going to have to scramble to either find a version that doesn't make it crash or store my notes in a more organized fashion. Other than that, I'm pretty confident that I'll hit 50k. Whether they'll be a decent 50k is anyone's guess.
Dave

Though, I'm hoping to do an outline today, if I can get to it. Or at least think about what I want to write, rather than spitting out random thoughts in my head and hoping they come together in some glorious clusterfuck.

I've also decided that I was initially whining like a bitch when I started thinking about other responsibilities and all that. So...I'm in. I'm writing a novel based on my Scare Us submission. It's my first NaNo. I have the general story idea in mind, obviously, and I've been brainstorming new characters, plot points, timelines, etc over the past week. I don't have a lot. Just possible chapter names, conflicts, scenes. I guess this is flying by the seat of my pants with a little bit of guidance.
Now to try to figure out that widget thing.

I love Scrivner - makes it so easy to just write scenes at random.

JEFFREY GRANT BARR
from Central OR is reading Nothing but fucking Shakespeare, for the rest of my lifeNovember 2, 2012 - 1:10pm
Wow, everyone writes so fast. I am also terrible with naming characters. The name 'Hetch' is pretty badass.
Courtney
from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooksNovember 2, 2012 - 1:15pm
The thing is, I hate the name Olivia. I only picked it so the initials would be "L.O.W." I think that was what made it so stupid. "Lindsay Wake" is the name of a few of my characters from different, abandoned stories. I usually satisfy my need for extravagant names by using ethnic characters -- Altagracia Medina is the name of a Spanish immigrant, Farouk Mohammed was an Egyptian scientist, etc.
Hetch is a pretty cool name. I like Biblical names, they give a rich symbolism without being overbearing -- John, Paul, Luke. For girls, I like names like Lilith and Mary. Other than that, I usually just pick a fitting one. Margaret or Mildred for someone who acts older than she is, Alyssa for a stereotype, etc.
JEFFREY GRANT BARR
from Central OR is reading Nothing but fucking Shakespeare, for the rest of my lifeNovember 2, 2012 - 1:19pm
That's an interesting take on naming, Courtney, especially the Biblical angle. I can respond to well-done naming, but I can't replicate it. Someone should write up an article/dictionary/lookup table for this.
Dwayne
from Cincinnati, Ohio (suburbs) is reading books that rotate to often to keep this updatedNovember 2, 2012 - 8:12pm
I either pick the name of stuff in the room I'm in, or the first name of someone I know, and the last name of someone else; i.e. Jeffery Zoolick (not the real spelling, but real name combo).

So this is a good way to get me going again.

Courtney
from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooksNovember 3, 2012 - 11:25am
Biblical names make character development easier. Jonah is obviously battling demons, Job is trying to figure out what he did wrong. If you use the well-known character names, the reader will have a sense of the character without really knowing why. They'll just get it because that's what they're used to.
I've always been interested in names. They can be used to signify success -- naming a child something distinguished, like initials and a Protestant last name -- or can be used to signify cultural exclusivity, like Shaniqua.We studied names as a cultural thing in my Communications class, so I get it from that point of view, but I'd be interested to see how characters respond to names. I know I hated the name "Margo" until I read "Margeaux with an X."
OtisTheBulldog
from Somerville, MA is reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot DiazNovember 3, 2012 - 12:01pm
I'm kinda bush league at names. I typically try to make them realistic, so they're relatable, and i try to make them consistent with their time period. But they're not really exciting names.
I like what you're getting at, Courtney. I have a story where i could really use a good name, and Job would be in-line with my character. But I worry that might be a little too over the top. I guess I should look for some resources on names meanings though. Or at least some classic names who opposed or struggled with an antagonist .
And now I bring to you, George Carlin, on the subjects of names:
And speaking of mindless Hollywood cocksuckers, before Charlton Heston became President of these dickless lunatics in the NRA, they had a different guy. He's still one of their major spokesman, and his name is Wayne LaPierre. Doesn't that sound a bit fruitty to you? "Hi, I'm Wayne, I'm a gun person. Bang bang!" You know what this guy's name ought to be? Biff Webster. Spud Crowley, a man's name! Chuck Steak!
And I'm getting really sick of guys named Todd. You know? Yeah, it's just a goofy... it's a goofy fucking name, okay? Hi, what's your name? "Todd! I'm Todd. And this is Blake and Blair and Blaine and Brent." Where are all these goofy fucking boys' names coming from? Taylor, Tyler, Jordan, Flynn. These are not real names!
You want to hear a real name? Eddie. Eddie is a real name. Whatever happened to Eddie? He was here a minute ago. Joey and Jackie and Bobby and Phil. Bobby and Tommy and Danny and Bill. What happened, *Todd*? And Cody, and Dylan, and Cameron, and Tucker. Hi, Tucker. I'm Todd. "Hi, Todd! I'm Tucker." Fuck Tucker; Tucker sucks.
And fuck Tucker's friend, Kyle.
You know? Yeah. There's another soft name for a boy. Kyle. Soft names make soft people. I'll bet you anything that ten times out of ten, Nicky, Vinny and Tony will beat the shit out of Todd, Kyle, and Tucker.

I want to write Fifty Shades of Gray but awesome!
