How will he be in your novel this year? As I have no clue what I'm writing about yet, I don't know how he'll show up. For those who don't know who Mr. Ian Woon is, rearrange the letters in NaNoWriMo and see what you get. You also obtain WARM ONION, NAOMI WORN, and many other exciting anagrams. |

Ian's the drunk guy in the bar that confesses all his inner thoughts to my MC. Then he disappears until the end of the novel where he makes some dramatic plot twist I have yet to come up with. Or something like that anyways.

I discovered Ian Woon only this year, right about the time that I was struggling to find a name for (from my MC's perspective, anyway) the secondary villain of my novel. The mealy-mouthed, self-important bureaucrat who prefers the robots he helps to build to people. The guy who cherishes cleanliness, silence, and predictability above all things. The one with the closet full of tweed suits.
Yeah, that guy.
Mr. Ian Woon. (grins)

Last year he was vampire food, this year he is the head master at my FMC's boarding school. Unfortunately we only see this school through some back stories and memories but he will definitely be there!

Ha, in one of my NaNos he *was* a vampire. And then he got toasted in the great end-novel massacre. Poor Mr. Woon.

I never know just what role Mr. Ian Woon will play each year, but I'm sure it will be something satisfyingly mundane.

Mr. Ian Woon was one of my favorite characters last year.
He was an astronaut who worked with the main character until he moved into Mission Control. He was laid back, extremely nerdy and served as the voice of reason to my main character, who was prone to doing stupid things like teargassing people when he was annoyed and totally ruining his chances with girls by insulting them.
He actually did NaNoWriMo. In space. And got the novel published, and people were annoyed when the first novel written in space was some sort of lame murder mystery set in ancient Korea, instead of something that one would expect to be written in space.
I'm thinking of bringing him back this year. Not sure how. I might even have sort of the same character, but transported, since my story'll inevitably need some sort of voice of reason somewhere in there.
----------I'm happy
Hope you're happy too . . .

Oh yeah, Mr. Ian Woon will be there. He'll be the person who tells my main character that he needs to go back in time to right the mistakes he made. Stupid Mr. Ian Woon.

Mr Ian Woon should definitely fit somewhere into my story this year. Not sure exactly where, but he's probably going to be a spy and/or assassin.
Not sure what other NaNo things I can get in there. A trebuchet is unlikely (had that in 2007). My characters are more likely to end up in a Bamboo Cage of Mild Inconvenience than a Steel Cage of Doom. (Had that in 2006.) The Travelling Shovel of Death is a possibility. (Used that in 2006 too.) Ninjas, 'fraid not. I had those in 2006 and had a retired, slightly overweight, ninja in 2007. Pirates? Well, only of the modern AK47 toting variety, MAYBE. (2007 I had a space pirate.)
I don't think I used any NaNoWriMo thingummies last year. Bah! Stupid realistic contemporary drama. :(

Mr. Ian Woon married Omar Ninow in last year's book and Naomi Rown called somewhere in the middle. I haven't thought about where to put them this year, but I should have lots of people wandering in and out who need names.

This year he'll be my MMC's older cousin. He may be immatre, silly, and a little naive, but it's all for the sake of the story!

I have no idea what I'm writing about, but I'm sure that a teacher by the name of Ian Woon will be making an appearance. Most likely he'll be very young, and insisting the students call him Mr. to compensate his own insecurities. Now for the rest of the story..

Last year he was head of a group of misogynists called Dream Keepers who hated a group of women who were Dream Reapers. Dream Reapers could enter a person's subconscious and help them get over fears and stuff. Dream Keepers didn't like it and Ian was the leader of the town's group. :D
This year... He might be the wizard in the group's production of The Wizard of Oz... Not sure yet. :)

I need a name for my Evil Villain... He may just end up being called Mr. Ian Woon... >.< Oh yes...
If not, though, he'll end up as a minor character, with some sort of lame superpower. Yay for superhero novels! Hmmm... maybe a writing superpower????

He's a vampire janitor who mysteriously disappears from the theater, convincing the MC that the director of the zombie musical is a hunter.

My protagonist is going to be interviewing/talking to a lot of random faceless people throughout my story, so I'm going to name one of them Ian Woon. I might be using Naomi Worn, too.

Last year in my unfinished novel, Ian Woon was a southern sweetie. He wasn't too bright, but he had a talent for bar tending and a soft spot for my MMC.
This year, I think he will be the complete opposite....but I still haven't decided where to put him yet.

Last year he was my bad guy. This year... I haven't figured it out yet! Definitely will work him in somewhere though, even if it's just a cameo!
eta: I just thought of something... my MC might be doing some library research. In that case, Woon can be the author of a book/research paper...

Oh my, I did this last year. He was my bad guy's butler and sadly deeply in love with the lady. It made for a great way to introduce the villain.
Still not sure where he will be this year, but I have a wide cast available to slip him through. Maybe I'll do the butler again -- that'd be kind of fun, for him to always be a butler in my stories.

I think I will make Mr. Ian Woon the headmaster of the private school in the novel. I also want to involve Naomi Worn somehow... Got it!! She will be the girl the main characters murder! I just realized she doesn't have name yet.
My third year doing NaNo, and my first time involving Mr. Ian Woon... I'm excited. :D

Ack, I just realized that the language my characters speak...doesn't have a "W" in it!
I always have Mr. Woon, or some variation, in my novel, sometimes in more than one form. One year, he was Rowan I. Nom. Last year, she was Norina Mow. One year, my main character's favorite food was warm onion soup. As Mr. Woon, he has been a teacher and a landlord twice each.
But what am I going to do with no "W" in my characters' language?

I have no idea what I'm writing this year yet, so I don't know what role Ian will play, but he will be there. He was my MC's boss last year. I hope to find him a place every year. :-)

Naomi Worn was an eccentric rich lady in my last novel.
This time around, Mr. Ian Woon could very well end up being my main character.
I don't know, though. I don't picture him as a violent criminal.

You can introduce a character who does speak a language with W in it if you get desperate. This character could be Mr. Ian Woon. Translating means increased word count! ----------
