Hi, Im homeschooled. Have you done national novel writing month (November)??

A ton of people on this site do NaNo!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D Go to the thread, "NaNoWriMo...", or "Kimberly and TNO...". They're both about it. K & T is a more recent one. :D:D:D

I'm homeschooled, too, and I also write. What's "national novel writing month" ?
Sometimes I think my stuff is corny. I'm writing a novel right now. Every time I try to go back and change the corny part, it just gets cornier, so I put it back the way it was. So, yes, sometimes I do hate my work.

NaNoWriMo.
(December 27, 2008 - 12:30 pm)
Yah, but what is NaNoWriMo? Everybuggy is always talking about it, and I'm really out of the loop here!!!!!

Hey, I don't really think my work is too bad, but that's because I don't go back and read it very much. One of my books is about 80 pages long. NOT KIDDING! I wrote about 10 pages every day. I should get back to it; my goal is 100 pages! I'm excited that I might meet my goal that I've been trying to get to for about 4 or 5 years!
I have not heard of NaNoWriMo... what is THAT?
(December 28, 2008 - 3:49 pm)
Hoo boy. TNO is the one to answer this question, but I'll try. (There are multiple threads on this site that are easy find, in which TNO explains) Actually, I'll copy TNO's answer. Sorry, TNO!!! :D:D:D:D
NaNo = NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month.
The premise is, you write 50,000 words from 12:01 on November 1 to 11:59 on November 31 (that's about 1,667 words per day). The reasoning behind the madness is that lots of people fantasize about writing a novel, but never actually get around that, so why not give them some extra motivation?

WOW. Boy, now I want to try, but I'm WAY to shy to even attempt to try. Plus, I could NEVER write that fast.
*looks around to see if anybuggy is listening* *whispers behind hand* I haven't been here very long, and I'm not very bright sometimes, so don't hate me for not knowing. Is TNÖ a boy or a girl???? Now I'm embarrassed!!!!!
*runs away to hide behind chair*

Ok, I just wanted to say, if anybuggy sees my posts and their really messed up (like really bad spelling) just ignore that part. I swear, I'm probably the worst 15 year old at spelling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There, I fixed my age below, so now "accident" is spelled correrectly, unlike in my post above.

If you really want to try it, there's rumors going around that there's something called JaNoWriMo in January! :D You could try! Don't worry about TNO! (People have asked before!) Her name is Haley, and she's obviously a girl! :D:D:D
P.S. You're Maggie, aren't you? There's always comments made by you and her at the same time, you came to the site around the same time, and she's twelve, so that'd give you a easy reason to call yourself that! :P Am I right? No one has figured out mine.... :D
(December 30, 2008 - 1:14 pm)
No, actually, I am my own boring self. It would be cool if I were Maggie, but I'm not. That's weird that we post at the same time!!! But I'm so new, that I've been on here almost every minute since I found this place, so I wouldn't be surprised if I was on at the same time as everybuggy!!!!! Hmm... now I want to find out who else you are!!! Did you use a real name or something made up??? Ooh!!! I'm excited!!!! And I really am 15; I think that I still call myself 12 sometimes is because time has been going far too fast since I was about 12. Plus, all my friends are twelve and under. But thankfully, now I'm starting to call myself 13!!! :D :D :D
(December 30, 2008 - 5:03 pm)
Funny!!! :D:D Real name? Well, people are named it, but it has nothing to do with me. :D:D:D:D

(December 31, 2008 - 12:09 pm)
KIMBERLY????????? You're not Kimberly are you?????? That would be sooooo sad!!!!!!!!! I love that there are both of you, plus, Paige, then you wouldn't have you smiley buddy!!!!!!!! Hmm.... no, it can't be you...
(December 31, 2008 - 4:45 pm)
OF COURSE I'M KIMBERLY!!!!!:D:D:D I don't do that 'fake name' stuff--it drives me crazy!:):):)
(January 4, 2009 - 7:58 pm)
