News and views from the On your marks, get set...
Christina just reminded me that National Novel Writing Month, affectionately known as NaNoWriMo, is about to start. Can you spend the month of November writing a 50,000 word novel? Last year, 15,000 people managed to complete submissions by the deadline, including our own Linda Song.
What to put in the novel? Overhead in the library during 8th period:
- Freshman girl pestering a subbie boy to go to the Winter Formal with her. Subbie boy, highly suspicious, backs away slowly...
- Two freshmen boys discuss and share their "extra credit doodles." Characters include Super Sheep, the Llama Light Brigade, the Extra Credit Black Hole, and Cowthulu (who has udders and shoots existential terror at target teacher's anti-extra credit doodles).
50,000 words? Make that 100,000.

I'm entering! I'm entering! Mine's called A Ghost's Journey and it is a modern ghost story with a twist :D
Me too! Mine is called "Elementals" (maybe) and it's going to be like Harry Potter... except the characters can control the elements (fire, wind, water, earth).
I still need to come up with a name for my school, though.
You guys are awesome!
WOOT! I have started writing!!!! There's no stopping me now!
I have... 1.5 paragraphs... And am taking a break to leave another comment and chat with Christina on gmail. ^.^
I blogged about NaNoWriMo for the gargoyle.
November is also National Blog Posting Month, doncha know.
My working title is "Wings" (which will definitely be changed) and it's a sci-fi / fantasy hybrid with a temperature-dependent magic system, telepaths, demon possession, and giant man-eating eagles. Fun fun.
