To quote from last year...

"The rules are simple. You kill a character. With a shovel. It's called the Travelling Shovel Of Death."

You can find out more here or here.

Is it appearing in your novel this year?

I just got a brilliant idea for how to put it in mine. Yes!

So, so many innocents are going to die in my novel. Seeing as how this is my first NaNo and I should celebrate the occasion, I'm totally going to see if I can fit a bloodthirsty shovel in there somewhere. >:|

I'm not sure how, but the TSoD will definitely make it into my novel. The setting is just too perfect for it not to happen. :)

It's counts more if the Shovel happens when you have not planned on it.
Oh the shovel will come, there is no stopping it, you just cannot control it. :)

Abandoned my first Nano idea for a second in mystery and suspense. Before I knew it, my MC--unnamed yet--was walking around the room holding The Shovel, with a nearly-dead body also in the room. Let's see how long I go before I finish him off.

I really want to use it as a way to knock out a character, but he wont die. Whoops.

Wondering if anyone knows a phobia for shovels?

There isn't an official name for shovel-phobia.

Oops, hit reply on the wrong comment. Meant to put that for penandpaper2.

Oh yes, I can use this in my story for sure.

Have had my hero use the travelling shovel of death to decapitate a fake druid. He first attacked them with a broom, which also dispatched a baddy. I had to stop there before it became the broom closet of death, or maybe the garden shed of doom.

Actually, now that I come to think about it, there's a great possibility that it might.

I'm sure it will. When I'm least expecting it....

French the llama! I can't believe how many Nerdfighters there are. That makes me happy.

...In honor of this moment, I shall kill three characters with the Shovel of Death and it shall be glorious.

DFTBA!

Side note: I definitely had my MC fend off an alligator with a shovel the year before last. I didn't even realize that was a thing. I am so happy right now.

Accidental TSoDing?

It was not an accident. It was fate!

Not accidental. Sometime this NaNo, you will send a subliminal message to your past self, saying "KILL IT WITH TSoD!!!!!!!!!!!! And maybe some fire too."

For some strange reason, I can't get it out of my head. So I'm about 100% sure it will.

Argantel

Well, I just read a short story in an anthology where it showed up to kill not one, but two bad guys. Powerful item, that one. It's sure to crop up in my story, I can feel it.

I got thousands of words from TSoD in my last nano and am definitely using it again this year! (For dare points it will be owned by mr. Ian Woon.)

NaNo_Bot
51105 words so far Winner!

Ah yes, the infamous TSoD. While I don't think that it will kill anyone this yeah, I shall definitely include it in the intro. A character is going to be upset he can't bring it along. Heh heh heh

I'm sure I can find some way of fitting the TSOD into my novel somehow. :D

miriania

Of course I will use it!
The TSoD played a major part in my novel last year, and it wil most certainly play an even bigger part in the sequel. :D

Since I'm writing horror, someone's bound to die anyway, so I will have to open the doors for this travelling instrument of doom. With utmost pleasure.

Elizabeth_Sabourin
50433 words so far Winner!

Oh, I'm sure I'll find someplace for it. It helped me so much in my last two NaNos.

Perhaps my shapeshifting assassin, Mr Ian Woon will have it. ;)

Youko Alicia

I've been toying with the idea of having the infamous TSoD appear. Probably will. It'd work with my novel (And all of it's vagueness).

Callista_Hogan
25562 words so far

Weirdly enough, I think I can find a place for the TSoD in my novel. We'll have to see.

miniwriter

Strangely, I think I can make this work without being too random....

Ellie-Louise

I think I'll be giving this a whirl :D My bounty hunter will probably become rather good friends with the TSoD, after all, ammo is scarce in the aftermath of a nuclear fallout ;).

PenGryphon2007

I am now suddenly very intrigued by your bounty hunter lugging around the TSoD. xD *is mobbed by plot bunnies*

Elyad

I just got irrationally upset that I couldn't use TSoD in my novel this year, I'm not writing about killers this year, for a change... :(

But I WILL use Mr Ian Woon, again. I will. :)

Yuallica
74028 words so far Winner!

I haven't used it before, but this year I'm going to.

I'm making Mr Ian Woon my main villain, so I think he'd have a use for a travelling shovel of death.

Tom M. Surname

The shovel's wandered into (and, just as quickly, out of) dream sequences before, but I suspect I'll be using it a bit more concretely this year.

Come to think of it, I may have to come up with another minor character just to give him a shovel to the face...

Arlequin
50076 words so far Winner!

The shovel helped me out quite a bit last year, but I'm not sure if I can squeeze it in this year. I'm going to try my best, though!

Black_roses

Hmm. I have five characters to kill. Surely I can use the TSoD for one of them...hehehehe
