I totally look at the 50k entirely different than most. XD;; It's the bones of a story. It's in no way readable after finished & is therefore considered as my rough draft. From there, I edit until it's right for me. Take out whole scenes, etc. That's what I'm going to do anyways. <3 I thought about it a lot & I picked up Chris Baty's "no plot? no problem!" book last year to help with ideas. XD

I have a friend on LJ who does it every year. I'm always tempted. I used to write quite a bit, mostly fanfiction, and a lot of my high school teachers considered me to be pretty talented. At least they always told me so. And I won second place in a regional writing competition once. BUT, I haven't written anything for pleasure in probably about two years. I can't seem to finish it, or get inspired. Or I'm disgusted with what I come up with and delete it. Hm. I have ideas, but I'm not sure how to flesh them out anymore, and I'm afraid my writing has become repetitive. My muses are on a practically never-ending vacation. They are named Meru and Silver. I believe they've eloped together...

I read the muse article finally! It's been like that with my muses. I can't seem to bring them back. I've got a couple ideas though... I just need to turn them into something! Perhaps I'll sign up for Nanowrimo this time. It could encourage me to actually hit the keyboard.

Ooh, double-post. Smam and I discovered that to add 'writing buddies' - i.e, we can view each other's word counts and keep track of progress, that you have to have the person's URL you want to add, then click on the button on their profile to be buddies. Edit: Or you can search usernames. Haha. I'm Azora, because I'm creative. But there's the URL below... So, uh, anyone want to be buddies? Here's my profile URL: www.nanowrimo.org/user/210851

Lolz, OH NOES A STALKER! I would have been like, hey, I already have a fan and I haven't written anything! Thanks for adding me. OH, and folks, azzerwrimo has been officially CREATED. azzerwrimo.livejournal.com - it looks crappy now, but uh, I'll work on pimping it out. Like, uh, with a better color scheme and a cheaply made icon.

Friended everyone! I'm so glad there's so many people here willing to give it a try, my belief is that the more people supporting each other you have, the easier it is to make the goal XD we'll see
