But that means literally sleeping, eating, working, studying, and writing. No tme for movies or spending time with family and friends (outside of church). *Sad face*<br />But then again, I could get up a little earlier...<br /><br />Does GTW do anything about NaNoWriMo?

I totally get how busy you are, and I definitely think it's worth a try-especially if you write for two or three hours straight. <br /><br />You can always set your goal lower than 50,000 if you'd like, since your schedule sounds pretty busy. But I think you should go for it! :)<br /><br />Good luck!Linea Marshallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-50276657547452279382014-10-31T09:04:47.289-05:002014-10-31T09:04:47.289-05:00...

Starting next month, I'll be working 4 and 1/2 hours in the mornings + 4-5 hours of school in the afternoons. Also, I take separate classes on Monday and Tuesday nights. Basically, my free nights are Thursday and Friday because we often travel on weekends.<br />Do you think someone could manage to complete NaNoWriMo with just two or three hours a couple times a week?<br />Is it worth it to try?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-47791473524878153122014-10-31T08:10:50.680-05:002014-10-31T08:10:50.680-05:00Both actually :)Both actually :)TW Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213969076030457918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-88146753764833541102014-10-31T00:07:54.810-05:002014-10-31T00:07:54.810-05:00*sigh* I would add you, but I'm only signed up...*sigh* I would add you, but I'm only signed up for the young writers program.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781882439096700951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-23055708748048728102014-10-30T19:13:59.262-05:002014-10-30T19:13:59.262-05:00Are you doing regular NaNo or Young Writers Progra...Are you doing regular NaNo or Young Writers Program?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138333213799126428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-66022671635298804802014-10-30T18:56:52.665-05:002014-10-30T18:56:52.665-05:00*laughs**laughs*Katie Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867517507191129951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-46630753113144891812014-10-30T18:46:06.726-05:002014-10-30T18:46:06.726-05:00She really can't wait lol :) just like me haha...She really can't wait lol :) just like me hahaTW Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213969076030457918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-57255599453345601902014-10-30T18:45:00.827-05:002014-10-30T18:45:00.827-05:00I'm doing it!!!!!!!! :D I'm so excited (se...I'm doing it!!!!!!!! :D I'm so excited (seriously, anyone that has been in chat with me knows)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be my fourth year doing ...Hey, Anonymous! This will be my fourth year doing NaNoWriMo. I'm a seat-of-the-pants writer all the way, so I always enter NaNo almost entirely unprepared. I would definitely recommend it. As for tips? Write or Die (http://writeordie.com/ and http://oldandbusted.drwicked.com/), Word Wars, use the graph thing on the site, and just write like crazy. No one sees your novel when you submit it, they just count the words to verify that it's actually 50,000. They delete it afterwards, but it you feel nervous about it, you can scramble it (for Camp NaNo this year, I did it manually with the find and replace function on Word; I just typed, "B," replace with "A," and replaced all the letters with A. It doesn't change how many words it will count it as, but it makes it so that it's pretty much nonsense. Make sure you do it with a copy, though, and not your real copy!).Kira Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068911623966107135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-17782406216378834892014-10-30T13:55:49.893-05:002014-10-30T13:55:49.893-05:00Yay!
