Stuck at the beginning - Can't Create a Novel on here http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952 Fayt Fyre Hi, everyone! I'm new here and already having a bit of trouble. I'm trying to create my novel in the Edit Your Novel section of the first drop-down menu. I filled in all the necessary information, but it comes up with an error, which says, "Events can't be blank." However, the Event section is a drop-down menu, and the box has absolutely no options to choose from. Am I supposed to create an event myself before I try creating a novel? I'm confused. Thanks for any help in advance! ______________________________________________________________________ FoG: Footsteps of Ghosts An Advanced Role-Playing Forum www.FootstepsOfGhosts.com Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:39:13 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_928372 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_928372 Bicicletta You can't create a novel after November 30th; NaNoWriMo is over for this year. You can create one for next year starting in October. Or, you can participate in Camp NaNoWriMo in June or August. I believe you can create a novel for those months here, but I'm not sure; Camp is fairly new. If you can't wait that long, there is always Script Frenzy in April. It has it's own website; there is a link under Other OLL Programs.

Have you checked in the Tech forums to see if this is a known issue? Might have something to do with the fact that NaNoWriMo is over for this year. Not sure, but contacting the staff is your best bet.

This is a bug. You have always been able to create/edit your novel information all year. The only thing that you haven't been able to change is the wordcount. However, I thought somebody had said it was fixed... *goes to look* Yep, Dragonchilde said it was a bug and is being worked on :) Apparently you can now edit your synopsis and excerpt (they weren't working either), however I'm not sure whether the bug of being unable to create a novel is fixed yet. I'd ask over in tech help :) Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:51:45 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_929096 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_929096 FranOnTheEdge Well I've been able to create one - but I can't change the word count of 0 words to the actual word count of 35,162 words Sat, 24 Dec 2011 15:57:53 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_998921 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_998921 BloodRoseAngel You can't change your wordcount at any point other than November X3 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 16:44:53 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_999042 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/newbies/threads/46952?page=1#forum_thread_comment_999042 FranOnTheEdge Lol, I'll have finished mine by then. If by November X3 you mean November 2012 - er... actually now I'm not sure sure you DID mean Nov 2012 - so what DOES November X3 mean?

XD I just use it a lot. Sorry, most people I talk to are used to it. =P I mean November. You can only edit your wordcount during NaNoWriMo.
