NaNoWriMo Project

[Bob Watson]

I'm in NaNoWriMo again (National Novel Writing Month). It's an open chalenge to write 50,000 mostly coherent words in the month of November. This year, as an extra incentive to keep writing and to keep focused on the story, I'll be putting an excerpt from each days word count on my NaNo Novel Info page. Take a look if you're willing to put up with raw, unedited word salad. Feel free to let me know if I miss a day and to give me a hard time if I miss two or more days.

Sweet!  I've added a card to the DHMN Trello board about this:

https://trello.com/card/nanowrimo-project/4f70faa86d6797f24b375c14/74

Would you be willing to post updates there, as well?  If not, the card includes a link 

Thanks!

My fiancee and I were actually going to do the NanoWriMo, but we bought a house instead.

Now I feel like I'm 3,000 words behind and no time to make them up.

I'm leaning towards sci-fi(Rudy Rucker style) and she's thinking true crime.

 I paticularly enjoy thinking up strangle loops in time travel and AI.

Like strangely temporally displaced evil "robot" things that force the lone crazed AI researcher into building them.

Jerry Weinberg has a "Fieldstone Method" of writing that I've heard
about every so often. I'm curious on DHMN thoughts on it.

My wife and I enjoy time travel books. She just started me on "To Say
Nothing of the Dog."

Well for heaven sakes, let that story out!

If I may make a time travel book recommendation?

"The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold I consider to be one of the classic stories about time travel.  Written by a Star Trek author.  It's very good.

Total geekout minutia...  

I read this book in college and it blew my mind...  I kept promising myself that I would eventually pick up a copy, but time passed.  Then a few years ago I got the itch to read it again.  I bought a copy on ebay.  Little did i know that it was a first edition!!  the book was published in 1973.  Mine is in very good shape because the dustflap cover has another plastic protector over it, but not taped to it.

I loved "To Say Nothing of the Dog." I especially loved the opening, seeing events from the POV of an increasingly confused mind that doesn't know it's confused.

I'll check your link after November; no time now.

Bob, do they have some sort of subscription feed thingy that will update us somehow when you post more words?

that would be cool... Maybe you get that if you sign up on the site?

Thanks,

Mark

I apologize for not being Bob, yet still answering this question.

Trello boards have a "Subscribe" function that allows you to be sent messages when there is activity on a card.  It's a big reason why I asked Bob to post updates to the Trello board if he was willing.

What do we want? TIME TRAVEL!
When do we want it? THAT'S IRRELEVANT!
