Questions

Next month is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and I am hopelessly without a plot. Usually I have some sort of idea laid out, but this year I can’t think of anything interesting.

My genre: Fiction/Fantasy/Sci-Fi

Any suggestions?

I’m writing a book for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I got curious as to how big this book would be once it’s published. I have all the Sherrilyn Kenyon books, so any book word count would be a great comparison, with exception to Acheron. (I have the book, but it’s much bigger than what i’ve written.) Thank you!

I’m trying to write a novel for NaNoWriMo, and I think I’m on the right track in terms of characters, literary devices, etc. The one little problem is that I cannot come up with a ****?d enough plot.

The basic storyline revolves around a girl who ***?ems to feel her dead brother’s presence all around her. Her mother is developing Alzheimer’s, and she has a younger sibling. She knows that her physical and mental condition is ****?idly deteriorating (due to what: I don’t know yet), so, ***? the only able ***?rson in her whole ***?mily, she ****?ts to record a sort of account of her ***?mily history, her life, since she does not ****?t to be forgotten in the ***?ture etc. ***? ***?me passes, her ability to write becomes worse (like in “Flowers for Algernon”), and she needs to be taken care of constantly. Her younger sibling takes over her role ***? the “recorder of anecdotes”.

–This is the point at which I’m completely lost. Maybe before, I don’t know. If anyone has any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to voice them!

Hey fellow writers! Although I’m only a ****?nager, I’m trying to do Nanowrimo this year (National Novel Writing Month). Do you have any ***?ps for a young girl trying it out her first year? Is it ****?d to plan? To tell your friends about it? To keep writing even if the story is getting really dumb instead of starting over? Thank you!
Nanowrimo is supposed to be a contest: You’re just supposed to get out 50,000 words on paper in a story that at least makes ***?mi-sense. It’s supposed to be ***?n, a let-loose-and-write-like-heck sort of month.

I am rather computer illiterate and I was on the website www.nanowrimo.org (National Novel Writing Month website) and suddenly I got a page that said

Drupal database setup, The following error must be resolved before you can continue the installation process:
The Drupal installer requires write permissions to ./sites/default/settings.php during the installation process.

Now I can’t even go to the site at all. Is this an error that the site needs to fix and I’ll just have to wait? Or is there something I need to do to fix this?

Thanks.

I’m really excited, I’ve thought of all these crazy, but probably stupid, ideas and I’m ready to spill it out on paper!

I’m trying this thing called NaNoWriMo [National Novel Writing Month] where you attempt to write 50,000 words in THIRTY DAYS. It started today at midnight–my only problem: I DON’T HAVE A PLOT. Anyone out there have ideas?
