I already started working on my first novel I ACTUALLY (hopefully) will finish, and didn't even think about NaNoWriMo! I think now I will spend most of this month planning and then see how much I can actually get done in November. It is a Star Wars fan-fic set in the future (40 some yrs after the First Order is destroyed) about a very small group of rebels who are slowly building allies to defeat the newest evil force, The Supremacy. They build a sort of training base/academy to teach the next generation to fight, where my protagonist ends up after her uncle (only living relative) dies. Little does she know she will save everyone from certain doom alongside her friends. It will take inspiration from (obviously) Star Wars and even Pride and Prejudice. It includes one of my fave tropes; a rebellion, (which comes from my love of the Hunger Games; which I may make a Fan-fic of eventually). Anyways thanks for the inspiration Abbie and Kate! <3

I am a little nervous to share this. I am hopefully going to start, and finish, a novel I have thought about for sometime now. I've had the idea for years. It's basically a New Adult novel about twins coming of age in a supernatural fantasy world. I got most of it worked out. However, still got some more ground work to do. If I want to be ready for Nanowrimo.

I love how at 11:20 Kate's hand just organically found itself in the shaka position... so on brand 😄

I haven't written a story in 10 years but I'm 117 pages into one now and I have Abbie to thank for helping me push through some of my ruts during this process and keeping me encouraged and inspired. I don't know if I will finish my story or not but it has been the most cathartic and exciting experience I've had in such a long time. Like Abbie said, I go to bed excited like a kid just waiting for when I can write in the morning 😅

I have that same issue where sometimes creating too detailed of an outline makes me feel like I've already written the story so when I sit down to do the actual writing, I don't enjoy the process as much. I try to save my outlining for revisions so that I'm already immersed in the story world and attached to my characters so when it feels like "work," I don't mind as much.

Oh my gosh this is literally so convenient!!! September 30th I JUST started writing down my basic ideas for my novel I wanted to start working on, and I completely forgot about NaNoWriMo!!! Definitely gonna use all of this October to plan because I have multiple directions and ideas that this story could go, but I'm super excited to write it! If anyone is curious, my basic idea so far is about a character I've had for a long time named Hark. He works for this organization similar to the FBI, but set in my fantasy world, and it tasked with the biggest mission of his life, to go to the normal human world and retrieve information from this woman who supposedly has knowledge that could destroy his whole kingdom. It's mostly a mystery, but ofc also has some romance (wholesome). I'm literally so excited to write this because Hark has been a character for a long time but this is sort of his backstory and I think its gonna be super fun to dive into what makes him, him. Thank you so much for this video Abbie and Kate!!! It gave me the inspiration to get started on prepping!!!!! TLDR; Very excited to plot my novel, this video came at perfect timing ;)

I finally completed my first draft. I suppose I'll be revising through NaNoWriMo. I am not on any particular schedule and what I have now I think is good in the beginning, OK in the end, and really a mess in the middle. But I got through it to this point. Excited now to see how much more I can improve it. Thank you for all the free advice you dispense here. It has really helped me!

My preptober is making time to write in November. Deep clean the house so I can coast through on cleaning through November. Plan a month of meals that are fast or make good leftovers. Get a few important things done from my to-do list. Major unfollow spree on twitter so I don't get sucked into reading articles and twitter threads when I should be writing. And this is controversial, but I actually start writing the last week or so of October so my body is getting used to sitting and writing for increasingly long amounts of time (but still making sure I get 50k in November).
Good luck to everyone participating this year!

I’m doing a story based on Hocus Pocus Descendants of the Sanderson’s. It’s a cross between Hocus Pocus and the movie Penelope. Sarah was always jealous of her twin sister Liz and before Sarah died she cursed her sister future descendants with a curse. The twin protagonist of my story are similar to Sarah and Liz so they tend to argue a lot. It doesn’t help when their parents play favorites.
