General NaNo Chat Thread '10

[Strife]

NaNoWriMo officially begins tomorrow. ^_^ Is everyone ready to rumble?

[Butterfly]

Eep! I'm starting to get the pre-NaNo nervousness. I think it's a good thing I have Halloween to distract me tonight.

[Celestial]

I'm...rather worried about NaNo. School is shoving work onto me so I'm not sure if I'll have the time and sanity for this. ._. I get really stressed out under pressure so this may not be a good idea...

[Zylaa]

I have a first scene planned out! ... And we'll see where it takes me beyond that. XD

*hugs Celes* Don't stress about NaNo. It is, above all, fun. And we're all there with you.

I'm feeling somewhat the same way, but I also find myself most productive under pressure, so I'm going to take a stab at it nevertheless. If it gets to be too much, though, I'll bow out.

I do hope I can see it through to the end, though, as I'm planning to finally work on a fanfic I've wanted to write for a long time.

[Strife]

Yeah, I'll echo what Nut says, Celes. NaNo shouldn't be something to stress over, and I think that if you have the right mindset, you could use NaNo to help push yourself out of Procrastination Mode should you ever fall into it.

Personally, I'm not sure myself if I have time for my NaNo, but I'll going to take a stab at it anyway so that it keeps my mind active.

We just had our Kick-off meeting yesterday (as half the group has to travel on Sunday, so no write-in for us) and it was awesome! Just what one needs to get into the right spirit ^^

Other than that... yeah, there are about 2.5 scenes already planned out, which I hope is enough for my muse to get into the story and deliver the rest of it

[Rikku]

... *is kind of sort of smug about starting more-or-less first* Ha.

But you folk can all rub my nose in this later, when you have an extra day to finish. xD

And in case anyone was doubting it? =D NaNo is really ridiculously fun. Really.

[Speck]

I hope I'll still be able to keep up with my current drawing schedule and my script frenzy. A little more than three pages a day isn't too bad, though.

[Tam]

...Heh, yep, I'm officially twitchy now. ^___^;

...The candy isn't helping.

[Shadaras]

xD My pre-NaNo jitters are being channelled into drawing. As the drawing is of NaNo-characters, it actually helps. ^_^ Not sure what I'll do once I finish drawing, though. Or when evening comes and I realise that there are only three hours until NaNo and all.

*is also failing to do homework, but that's decently normal*

[insanepurpleone]

Eeeep! I'm excited for NaNo, but I also have three midterms next week and will be out of town from about 2pm Friday to late Sunday. >.< This'll be interesting. Ideally I could use NaNo as my procrastination time from school work, so either way I'm getting stuff done, but that would require convincing myself to stay off the internet...

[Jayeee]

I'm more nervous and asolutely terrified than excited. XD There's about an hour and a half left until I get to start, and i'm doing some panic planning!

I need to relax a bit! =P

[Zylaa]

AUGH I HAVE ONLY AN HOUR WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING. I have over an hour of homework left. D: NOOOO.

[♥ Lulu]

I have tons of homework too D: BUT I DON'T CARE. In an hour, WRITING SHALL BEGIN no matter what I have left to do, rawr.

Good luck, GMTers who start shortly :3 My pre-NaNo jitters have set in, but I'm so darn excited, seriously XD
