Hi everyone! Let's use this thread to introduce ourselves. Tell us who you are, what island you're from, how many years you've been doing Nano, what you do, your hobbies, etc.

I'll start:

1)Name:
I'm Maureen, but my screen name is "gogoshire."
2)Island
I'm writing from beautiful St. Kitts.
3) I've been doing Nanowrimo since 2002, but this is only my 2nd year as an ML.
4)I'm an English teacher online - teaching for University of Alaska Fairbanks, and I run a volunteer organization on the island called St. Kitts Reef Ecology Watch Group.
5)I love to write, but I've got carpel tunnel now, so we'll see how this month goes. I love to be in the water. Scuba diving is my passion. I like to hike and learn about plants and birds. I like to lime, too :)

It will get done. It will be stupendous.

Writer's Block Already?

gogoshire — Thu, 1 Nov 2007 05:58:05 -0700

Anyone else stuck?

haha

It's day 1 and I still haven't even taken 5 minutes to consider what to write about.

This will be a very interesting project.

I'm determined, though. I've done it for 5 years, and I know it's not too hard if I keep current with the first week. That gives a great deal of momentum to keep on in the following weeks.

What is everyone writing about in 1 sentence or less?

I think think think that mine is going to be

girl slowly breaks down after traumatic experience

But who knows? I haven't written a word yet. :)

Expletive-ness

Fyrefoxx — Sun, 4 Nov 2007 05:35:08 -0800

Okay, so a few of my characters have been put through some situations that may have them spouting some obscenities here and there. I was wondering if you all think Expletives are a mandatory part of writing, because, lets face it, any person over the age of 18 who's male uses expletives liberally. Sometimes I cuss like a wharf rat, not ashamed to say it, but I was wondering if it's acceptable for a Novel. I want to make my characters are realistic as possible, and i think this would be key to doing that. What d'you think?
