#nanowrmo — Public Fediverse posts

Wrote one of the most romantic lines I've ever written today.

'It doesn't have to be a lie.'

I mean it probably means more in context, but ...

#writestodon #NaNoWrMo

I keep seeing people on all social media platforms talking about doing #NaNoWrMo this year, and I'm sitting here almost wishing I was doing it, too. Except we're three days in and I genuinely have no ideas whatsoever, so I feel like it would be kind of silly for me to even attempt it at this point.

As #NaNoWrMo approaches, I'll post my contrarian opinion well ahead of time.

Nano ain't for me. I've done it three times, and each time I haul myself over the finish line at 50k, I'm exhausted, burnt out, and don't write for at least a month afterwards. By the time I'm ready to start writing again, I've completely lost context and interest in the story. I've "won" nano 3 times, but I've finished none of them.

Props to the people who do enjoy it, and I think it's a great time to try to build a daily writing habit into your life, but if you're feeling left out by the nano excitement, you're not alone.

Didn’t manage to participate in #NaNoWrMo this year due to work commitments, but really enjoying getting updates from my partner on their regency lesbian romance (a spin-off from the 3 part regency bisexual erotica series they’re currently trying to get published).

Doing my darndest to NaNo this year.

Here’s some bits from my WIP:

1. Steampunk mecha armor suits
2. A knight struggles to decide if duty is more important than honor
3. Shadowy (literally) assassins
4. Badass battlefield scenes
5. A floating city
