Fellow Novel Bloggers

The driving force behind Blogger's 'Blog a Novel' seems to be another Graham, who has his NanoWriMo blog here: NanoGraham

I shall be watching with interest. It's good to see that Graham's been playing by the rules and hasn't posted anything yet, although he does have character info and a plot outline there already.

Tandava said...: Hi Graham, it's Graham here. I saw your site in my referrers and then got your comment. Thanks for checking in on my novel. Don't be impressed by the three chapters in two days, though -- they're short chapters, and I'm actually a bit behind on word count. Oh well. Weekends will fix that, I hope.

I haven't been managing to follow anyone else's novels yet. Too busy writing. I'm probably just going to bookmark a bunch and then come back in December to see how they turned out. :-)

Good luck!; November 3, 2004 at 10:42 PM
blog-efl said...: Thanks Graham! I know what you mean - I'd love to be able to go and read some of the other novels too. In fact, that's what I've been doing tonight, and checking out the NaNoWriMo site, and forum ,etc, which is all very good, but it means I haven't been writing as much as I thought I would.

Oh well, it's only natural I suppose that I should start off this way. And, as the saying goes, tomorrow is another day...; November 4, 2004 at 1:45 AM

ABOUT:

Write an entire novel in a month?

Who would be crazy enough to try to do such a thing?

Well, there's a growing number of crazy people doing just that this month, November 2004.

NaNoWriMo is now underway and this is where I have decided to attempt to write mine. I chickened out last year, but told myself I would definitely take part in 2004. If all goes well, I should be posting 50,000 words worth here during November 2004.

The clock is ticking.

Given the velocity of writing involved in this crazy project I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the month I have a load of gibberish, but who knows? I have my story, and plan to keep notes on how things are going and how the story is developing here.

Here's the blurb if you're interested in reading as I write:

AD2024. The Earth's resources are running out and the Environment is becoming more hostile every year. The world has become polarised between the haves and the have nots. Those who are privileged, who are lucky enough, who are be able to afford it, live in an environment where their every need can be catered for. A smart chip, implanted in every legal citizen's upper forearm has superseded the need for identification, credit cards, money, passwords, keys, etc. It is the perfect solution for a comfortable life.

Jay Gee is one many insiders, people who live permanently under protective cover, living and working without ever leaving the connected world of concrete tunnels that is The City. Jay is an extreme example. For five years now, he has never left his building; indeed he has hardly left his flat. His life is turned upside down by the death of his mother and the subsequent re-encounter with a long lost friend, who finally persuades Jay to leave his sheltered world, in order to meet her. However, this first trip outside doesn't turn out as planned.

Interested?
