NaNoWriMo 2010 - Who's in?

[Xerxes]

Way to go guys.

Wel, Nanowrimo is over. I admit, I didn't officially participate, but I actually started writing this month. I've been keeping a notebook on me, and I write bits and snatches of the narrative when I can.

I mean, I've been writing for years, but I never kept an honest-to-god writing notebook around before. Feels good.

What are all you gentlemen writing about?

[MagGnome]

Congrats, Kielaran!! Way to muscle through it! :D

You and I, on the other hand... :D

I'm just glad I tried at all. It was nice to write non-fiction for the first time in six or so years. I won't be able to participate next November, but I'll remember this time fondly. :)

You can see a year into the future? ;)

If so, I could really do with the lotto numbers in a pinch, Mags. :D

Relating to this NaNoWriMo, I decided to see what I could cut from my story, today... and found it much harder than I imagined. It's not like my chapters are so tightly interwoven or anything, just that I've become attached to even the most useless of them.

Oh, and on a question of style, does anyone have some tips for smoothly showing the passage of time? A lot of my stories take place over a series of days, but as this one spans months...

Next November is when I'll be taking the huge test to get my WOSTEP (http://www.wostep.ch/index.php) certification to officially become a watchmaker. It's a week long, with a written exam and three practical exams (a quartz movement, a chronograph, and an automatic).

Needless to say next November will be insanely busy.

You're welcome. ;)

[Xerxes]

You can only do it in November? How convenient.

Sidenote, I need you to make the finest watch $200 can make. The thing is I have a few special... specifications that need to be adhered to.

Bit premature, perhaps, but best of luck with that.

I am tempted to play those numbers, Mags... so tempted. :p

It's a set date. I have no control over it.

Also, I'm not making a watch that contains your semen. Sorry.

Thanks!

As long as you split the winnings with me, go ahead! :D

Cute, but wrong. I need a watch that can sync me up with everyone else's time and also allow me to slow down time. I'll handle that second part. :eek:

Help me name my NaNo 2010 starship (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=20747). Any assistance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you are looking for Dr. Who, not Dr. Gnome. ;)

The watch is mostly symbolic. I'm a wizard; I'll handle the fantastical parts. ;)

[MagGnome]

I'll see what I can do. :p
