skjalm — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 04:00:58 -0800

Hi,

Since I seem to get far more work done when I'm not at home I've decided to invade the Laundromat Café on Østerbro this Sunday from around 3pm and as long as possible.

Feel free to join.

eksamensopgave om standby på hverdagen

Bene — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 06:42:13 -0800

Kære alle

Nu er den etnologi-opgave, jeg har arbejdet på hele november og i tiden efter, afleveret og evalueret. Og jeg vil meget gerne sende den til dem, der har lyst til at læse den. Den handler om hvordan deltagelse i NaNoWriMo - som eksempel på brud på hverdagen - kan give nye forståelser og forestillingsbilleder, for deltagerne selv og så sandelig også for mig selv.

Som etnologi betragtet indgår opgaven i en tradition, som fx Orvar Löfgren (Sverige) og dele af Culture Studies (England) står for.

Konklusionen er, at der finder små finurlige forandringer sted, som man ikke selv er klar over.

Den er på 40 sider og det er nok nemmest, at du sender mig din email-adresse på en e-mail her på NaNoWriMo, så vil jeg sende den som vedhæftet fil.

Mange hilsener
Benedicta

Elskede — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:29:12 -0800

Are any others done?

Hvordan gik det? hvordan føles det?

Bene — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 10:28:01 -0800

Hej

Fortæl om hvordan det gik. Hvordan var spurten? Hvordan opleves det at komme over 50.000 ord-målstregen? Jeg har hørt tidligere deltagere fortælle om beruselse og lignende.

Gik det ikke? Fortæl om det også. Det er lige så velkomment.

Min etnologi-opgave om NaNoWriMo (som brud på en vinterhverdag) skal også belyse hvordan det opleves at komme ud af skrive-marathonen, om det så er med 50.000 ord bag sig eller ej.

På forhånd tak og
mange hilsner

What is your novel about?

Elskede — Sat, 3 Nov 2007 00:05:53 -0700

Happy Weekend all!

I hope everyone is able to look forward to lots of writing this weekend. I am!

It is amazing how creative we all can be - how many stories are out there. That makes me wonder, could folks share with others in the forum what their story is about?

Can you also write it in Danish and English so those who do not understand Danish and are residents of Denmark can participate in the thread and make comment?

Hvor mange er vi?(og hvor er folk fra i landet?)

BGSKG83 — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 03:29:18 -0700

Hejsa alle med-forfattere.

Jeg har nu, i et stykke tid ledt efter en søgefunktion(for at søge efter medlemmere), da jeg har "holdt øje" med andre på den ene eller anden måde(bl.a for at sætte mit næste del-mål). Det var en super måde, at finde ud af, hvor mange danskere/skandinavere/o.s.v. der var.
Jeg har ikke kunnet finde en sådan søgefunktion, i årets forum, men jeg er stadig lige nysgerrig: Hvor mange danskere er vi iår?

Og så et lille tillægsspørgsmål: Hvor i landet er I fra/bor I?

Selv bor jeg i det vestjyske (Nr Nissum)

Håber på mindst 200 svar :-P

Læg jeres historier ud som excerpt's

tisen — Sun, 4 Nov 2007 07:14:01 -0800

Halløj alle i glade skrivere.

Jeg vil gerne, på det stærkeste, opfordrer til at i lægger historierne ud som excerpt eller "smagsprøver". Jeg tror det vil give et ekstra spark i den rigtige retning for andre glade skrivere, at se andre talentfulde forfatteres værker, og der kan faktisk være utroligt meget!:)

Derudover er jeg selv helt vild efter at se jeres værker, så hvis i har lyst må i hjertens gerne sende worddokumentet til tisenderbluesman@gmail.com

Selvfølgelig har jeg ikke tænkt mig at kopiere noget af det...

Mid-way Point!!!

Elskede — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 02:40:53 -0800

How are things going as we reach the midpoint today? I have written a little less than I expected I would write but I am pleased. I will do a lot of writing this weekend and then will relax the last few days. I have been dealing with a rather immature person in my academic work at the university. The notion of working as a group and respecting other people is lost on her. LOL, we learned she has been making public blog posts referring to us (the group), as "idiots" and "stupid" and the topic as "stupid" and "gay" since 2 days after our group formation. Aaargh, and shamefully enough she is another American.

With American Thanksgiving coming up, and plans to celebrate with some folks, I want to have some time off! I know Thanksgiving is not a holiday for non-Americans, so I assume eveyrone else will be having the usual Thursday and continue with writing. I am also spending time at Tivoli for the Crazy Christmas Cabaret next week.

That aside......Are you pleased with what you have written so far, in content and quantity? Or has real-life been intervening into your writing schedule and throwing you off a bit? Hopefully things are going well and staying relatively balanced.

Elskede — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 01:12:31 -0800

The annual book festival "Bogforum" in Copenhagen is taking place this weekend at the Forum.

I went last year and really enjoyed it. It was a great opportunity to hear author Amy Tan speak about her new book and the process of writing. I also discovered some journals and books/other materials from/about the arts community in Copenhagen that were of great interest to me. I also met some very nice people while eating lunch.

Even if you have no Danish language skills or are not strong in Danish, it is still possible to enjoy the book festival. Perhaps I will see you there!

Ord-optællingskontrol

marsch — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 13:15:00 -0800

Jeg har fulgt vejledningen for at scramble teksten

Inden scramblingen havde jeg 13.333 ord
efter scramblingen havde jeg også 13.333 ord

jeg indsatte nu denne scramblede text i kontrolfeltet
og derefter ændrede programmet selv ord-antallet til 13.661.

Kan det mon have noget med æøå at gøre?

Bogforum i København

T_ffe — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 12:04:51 -0800

Hey bare lige kort. Forum holder bogforum i KBH her mellem den 16 og 18 november. Jeg ved ikke hvad brogrammet er for alle dage, men søndag er der en forlægger der hele dagen igennem gerne giver konstruktiv snak om folks bøger.

http://www.bogforum.dk/default.asp?nid=47
det er det direkte link til søndags programmet. det står som nr. 8 på listen. desuden kan i jo se om der ikke er noget fredag og lørdag også.

Det koster 90 kroner at komme ind, men fredag er der studierabat (40 kroners rabbat) mod forevisning af studiekort.

Ved ikke om jeg selv tager derind og snakker om det, men kunne være interessant.

Fortsat god skrivelyst

Nanowrimo og om at sætte hverdagslivet på standby

Bene — Sat, 3 Nov 2007 05:59:30 -0700

Hej

Til næste år vil jeg også deltage i Nanowrimo, men ikke i år, for der har jeg et andet projekt der tænder mig.

Jeg skal skrive en opgave om hverdagslivet og de måder, vi søger frihed fra hverdagslivet på. Det kan være dagdrømmeri, 'at falde i staver' eller at konkurrere med sig selv om at køre længst muligt på en grøn bølge. Og så videre. Opgaven indgår i en master i etnologi.

Nanowrimo er en fantastisk måde at skabe alternative rum i en november-november-november-dansk hverdag. Jeg vil være meget glad hvis I vil dele jeres tanker med mig om at træde ind i fiktionens rum med mig. Hvordan bygger man sig selv op til at skrive, hvordan har man det mens man skriver. Er man stadig i bogens verden, når man ikke sidder ved tasterne, og meget mere.

Det kan være her, eller det kan være i en mere direkte email-korrespondance.

Mange venlige hilsner
Benedicta

Nogen der vil skrive om kap?

Kalle Klaphat — Sun, 4 Nov 2007 01:05:03 -0700

Nogen der er friske på at srkive om kap, hver morgen.

Jeg har seriøst brug for metoder til at booste mit word count.

Da jeg skriver tidligt om morgenen, vi jeg høre om der er nogle, der er friske på at lave faste dagligt skrivekapløb aka Word Wars?

Vi starter klokken syv, og skriver i ti minutter. Den, der har skrevet flest ord, vinder.

Vi kan emaile eller andet, så vi ikke er afhænige af denne site, der jo et lidt ustabil.

Nogen, der er friske? Jeg garanterer, at det vil gøre underværker for dit word count.

Day 1 - How is is going?

Elskede — Thu, 1 Nov 2007 09:07:12 -0700

Hello all,

Phew, well I managed to start writing at midnight, quite around 5am, slept a bit, wrote another four hours then had to go to classes and do some work. Now I am back home and going to grab dinner and see about packing up my laptop and getting to the write-in Emme-dk is hosting in Østerbro.

How is it going for you on this first day?

I am craving coffee and lemon poppyseed cake.

Vi er jo ikke helt så priviligerede som Kjøvenhavnerne - der er lidt større afstand imellem os her.. men skal vi ikke alligevel se om vi kan få stablet et eller andet på benene? Alt efter om der er interesse, og hvem der er interesseret, kan vi jo finde ud af geografien og datoen efterfølgende..

Østerbro Write-in, Day 1

emme-dk — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 09:44:15 -0700

Laundromat Café, Århusgade, har wifi og god kaffe - faktisk har de også nogle af byens bedste morgenpandekager, men det er ikke emnet for denne post.

Der er write-in torsdag d. 1. november fra kl 19: målet er at komme godt fra start. Jeg regner med at lægge minimum 2 timer.

Jeg har en laptop med, der blandt andet har en stor grim sticker med et øre. Det er en sticker jeg fik i forbindelse med udgivelsen af Pether Høeghs Den Stille Pige, som jeg ikke har læst. Og ikke har tænkt mig at læse. Men der var nu noget over klistermærket. So there.

Vi ses!

Ready at Midnight?

I am ready to go and will be ensconced in my favorite chairwith my laptop at midnight, fingers at the keyboard

I also intend to be surrounded by a strong cup of tea, some rice cakes and my favorite music.

How many of you are planning to start at midnight, and what if anything, will be your "writing supplies"?

Kickoff Party/Parties?

Elskede — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:32:46 -0700

Shall we get together for a kick-off party next week?

I think it would be good to have one in your area, so perhaps people want to host one near them? It is up to you.

I am willing to host one in Copenhagen on Wednesday night October 31. Of course that is cutting it close to the starting line, but we can end early. We can do something such as get together for coffee/beer or a light supper at 6pm somewhere, and be done no later than 9pm? That way you can be home in time to be poised at your typewriter at midnight!

We have fancy NaNoWriMopins/buttons!

I am open to any suggestions so please post them here or send me a PM.

Welcome to NaNoWriMo 2007!!

Elskede — Tue, 2 Oct 2007 11:43:18 -0700

Welcome, welcome to all those living in Denmark and writing the Great Danish Novel!

I am EXCITED and ready to get started! I hope everyone has had a great year and can navigate and utilize this new forum format. It took me a half hour just to be able to make a post.

But now , between my work, my courseload and my group project, I am ready to sit up in the wee hours of the morning and at night with lots of candlelight to write this year's novella.

I found a fantastic writers group here in Copenhagen (with Danes and non-Danes in it) and have been writing with them and getting good feedback for the last year.

I just returned from time on Bornholm and am VERY inspired for soime portion of what I will write in November.

How have things been for others?
