[Nanowrimo] Week 1: Words of the Week

It's NaNoWriMo time! Every November, writers challenge themselves to write 50,000 words in 30 days, which is simultaneously fun and stressful. 

But, I sometimes find myself hitting a wall in my stories. So this year I'm creating a post each week with a list of words to help kickstart the writing process. It is a challenge - to myself and to you, if you need a prompt - to use at least one word per day in my story. 

Hit a wall in your story? I have a challenge for you!


CHALLENGE: Every day, from November 1st to November 10th, choose one of the words listed below and write 1,000 (or more) words inspired by the your choice (make sure to integrate your word choice into your writing). 

Radiance
Opaque
Whimsical
Frost
Stateroom
Bookseller
Superstitious
Care
Rebellious
Seasick
Falling
Police
Gibberish
Gathering
Gnarly
Manic
Deadly 
Wondering
Touch
Terrified

A new list of words will be posted on the 11th, 18th, and 25th. 

If you're participating in NaNoWriMo, add me (yabookqueen) to your buddy list. Let me know your username, too, so I can add you to mine! Good luck writing!

Nanowrimo!!

It's almost November, so you know what that means....

It's almost time for the evil awesometastic Nanowrimo! Otherwise known as National Novel Writing Month. 

50,000 words in only 30 days. And apparently it's possible. (I only made it to 18,000 last year before my computer crashed). But this year, I'm committed to winning Nanowrimo. Granted, this will be the first time I handwrite my story, so it will be a bit different than what I'm used to. 

Any of you participating this year? 

Good luck to everyone who's participating! =)
