    How are you all deciding which project to work on?

    In my own case it’s pretty easy, as I’m only actively working on one thing right now! :p I figure if I get done what I want to get done on that and still have some words left in my goal, I can then go on to try to bring one of the “inactive” projects to “active” status. Or at least that’s the plan! :D

    @UltramassiveUbersue It may be a bit of a cop-out, but I plan to work on about four or five of my neglected WIP's as the interests of my muse dictates from moment to moment and day to day. It's possible I might write a new one shot or two as well. My muse just tends to find it hard to focus on one project. It tends to get distracted by other ideas because it is a very flighty creature. But for the most part, I've just learned to follow the bursts of inspiration my muse gets and discover where that takes me. I'm a very discovery type writer so it is difficult for me to plan or plot what I will be working on next, and often if I do make those sorts of plans and plots, my muse will take a perverse pleasure in upsetting them:pSo, I just sort of go with the flow. My muse is in the driver's seat, and I'm just along for the wild ride...

    I have two prompts from the mini challenge thread that have each inspired a story idea. (One may have inspired a whole series of stories -- we'll see.) Those are what I'm working on first. After that, I have ideas for a series of stories featuring two of my OCs that will take place between ANH and RotJ, and continue on during the early years of the New Republic. And I've had a couple of requests to continue my short stories focusing on the characters from Young Jedi Adventures. So all of those ideas are fair game in November.

    This year, I'm going to keep it realistic: 7000 words is my goal.

    As for what I'm going to write next month/Wednesday:



    Let's just say I'm presently in between projects, and I have works languishing in progress/never even made it to garbage notes status dating back to 2009...

    NaNo really is great for resurrecting those most long and bygone of WIPs. [face_mischief] I can't wait to see what you come up with! You're in the index. :D

    You know what I love about my new place? I get to November 2 hours earlier than last year. Eastern standard time, friends. Looking forward to getting into it all in 13 hours!

    Well, I wrote exactly 0 words in October, so anything is an improvement over that. :p I’m going to shoot for 3000 words for Word Race.

    21 journal pages * 250 words per page (estimated) = 5250 on day one. Not a bad start.

    521 words on my first day. Aiming for three times as much tomorrow. :)

    *edit: Oh, and the project I settled on is tentatively called "The Trial of Mara Jade", and chronicles her first assassination mission.

    Yay! It's fantastic to see that so many are off to a good start! Your new totals have been added to the index. :D

    As for myself, I managed to write 3,044 words yesterday, which I am more than happy with. Let's see if I can keep that up. [face_mischief]

    Managed to write 117 words today.

    Which means I only have 4883 words to go.

    I can do this.
