Well my nanowrimo was a fail...
But I'm moving on and such. i'm working on mini projects right now; mainly focusing on practing art and writing in cartooning (gotta work on my art skills...) One is kinda secret for right now. The other is a comedic, cutesy one that pokes fun at certain aspects. Mainly a cat-human singer with an girly airhead personality who competes against a fox idol in a rival company.
Enough about me. I WANNA KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING!!! TELL ME!!!!!
I am full of flu but I need to keep working on my nano novel because I've just had a shock request - I need to have it finished and to a semblance of edited by Christmas Eve! YIKES! :-(

REMEMBER: It's the things you DON'T do in life that you regret, not what you do, do!
Working on editing my Nano novel from 2010. It was never divided into chapters when I was originally writing it, so I'm currently in the process of doing that, plus removing a subplot that added nothing to the story.
Other than that, beta reading for people on fanfiction.net; coming up with new story ideas (which is ALWAYS happening); working on other writing projects that I really need to get back to, etc.
So... I gave up on NaNo. It was my first time, and I have an attention span of one. So, basically, 50k words was too much. Now, I'm working on a novel currently about a girl's quest for her brother's murderer. It's set in the old West and has a *very* big twist in it (: when that's through (or before, if I get bored,) my next novel will be about this virus released into a small community, and the quest for the cure that follows.
Screenplay adaptation of "As I Lay Dying," original screenplay about drag performers, stage play about teenage lesbian killers... that's pretty much it for now. My novels are all at rest for the moment.
I'm going to sit back and think how I can improve my failed nano story. Failed because I didn't reach 50k; in terms of content I think this is the most interesting story I came up with as of now. So I'm going to revise, add, and polish it until I feel like this is the best I can do, and then have a few people read it to see if it's worth the pain of trying to get an agent. :) I'm very excited about it.
I didn't reach 50k either. The story just is not a novel length story. But I'm working on one now that maybe, maybe(hopefully) is. I'll find out when I finish it. I like the characters, and the setting. Still smoothing out the details, but that's part of the work and fun.
I'm still working on my NaNo novel. It's up to about 60k now, but I just can't seem to finish it haha. It's kind of frustrating because I wanted to finish the rough draft in December, but with exams coming up that is not looking very likely. I'm kind of looking forward to starting something new as well, although I don't have anything but a few vague ideas.
As much as I wanted to focus on my NaNo project, I wound up getting back to a novel I've been meaning to finish. I'm still working on it, and hope to finish it some time in the next few months (I've got a ways to go before it is done).
Phantom phan-fiction (hahaha I'm sooo witty) Alternative history - what if King Richard (the first) had a surviving daughter? Re-writing NaNo 09 in first person because it will sound better that way. Sorting the mess I made of The Burning Star during NaNo 2010 with the planning I did this year.
John would have unfortunately killed her, the same way he killed his nephew and imprisoned his niece until she died. Unless she had a strong, well connected husband, of course.
I'm working on one of my my old stories, I started to rewrite it about a week ago. I have also had very great ideas to poems so I'm trying to write them.
I won, yes, but this series must be finished. Most of my NaNo novel was the first book, but a lot of it was parts of other books(one reason why I'm a rebel).
I'm concentrating on my Nano project. I tend to have a tendency to start and never finish something. So I'm trying really hard to finish this. And I think it's a good storyline, so I'm really wanting to get it published one day (hopefully ready in 2012). I've got a lot of different stories I was working on prior to Nano, but my Nano is the most likely to appeal to a wide range of audiences.
Me too. Mostly, this consists of staring at the last sentence I wrote three days ago, wishing that every writer got one scene per book that would write itself. I thought about working on something else for a while and then going back to it, but I'm afraid if I do that, I'll never get back to it.
I'm trying to finish my NaNo novel. I hit 50,000, but didn't finish the plot. My goal is to write another 25,000 in December, and strangely enough that's been harder so far. Some of the things I ignored during November are demanding time and attention again, plus there's all the holiday stuff going on...but I'm still hopeful about finishing by the end of the month!
I'm working on a draft for next year. My teachers kept telling me to participate in NaNoWriMo, but I was too nervous about it. But I finally got the guts to try. I'm a bit worried, because I have plenty of ideas in my head, but making a nice novel out of them is hard. My sister thinks I'm dumb for doing this, since I'm only fourteen, but by next November I'll be fifteen, and I think I'll be fine.

I'm trying to work out a really fluttery middle grade something-or-other, about a girl and a giant and his runaway heart. It's probably what's going to keep me (in)sane over the holidays.
I'm writing another novel, whose idea came to me halfway through November. It was actually supposed to be for JanNoWriMo, and December was a break month, but I got impatient :P
what are you working on now?

Re: what are you working on now?
Vague ideas are a good start though, letting them float around in your imagination for a little while, seeing where they go....

Re: what are you working on now?
Writing more then I ever have before, editing fanfiction, stuff like that.
Re: what are you working on now?
Writing, writing, writing, writing, writing. It's my life. Also, trying to not go crazy.
Re: what are you working on now?
I am getting next year's plot, setting, and characters up and running. XD And I am editing. -_-
Re: what are you working on now?
Exams... then I can relax after the 21st.
Phantom phan-fiction (hahaha I'm sooo witty)

Re-writing NaNo 09 in first person because it will sound better that way.
Sorting the mess I made of The Burning Star during NaNo 2010 with the planning I did this year.
I'm in my final year of University. I am crazy.

Re: what are you working on now?
Finishing my novel, hoping to go back into programming and language learning, and daydreaming up new plots for JaNoWriMo.

Re: what are you working on now?
Trying to finish my nanonovel. Or I'm...supposed to be finishing it. I haven't made very much progress, to be honest.

Re: what are you working on now?
yes! Just once scene that wrote itself! Oh it would be so helpful!

Re: what are you working on now?
Working on the same novel as I was during November. All others are on hold until this one is finished...
