Nano Insanity

[waldos_writings]

*sigh* My writing time has been severely curtailed due to the extreme insanity at work. (I first typed 'inanity' and there's a certain Freudian quality to that slip).

But I'm going to use NanoWriMo to get off my ass and get the Instinct/Conversion chapter of Human Body done. I'm not 100% sure it'll make 50,000 words, but it certainly has the potential to get that massive. And either way, I'll have it done.

If you want to see what I get done each day, if you want to beta or just comment on what works/doesn't as I go, or even if you just want to watch me pull my hair out each day, drop me a note here and I'll put you on the filter.

Et tu, Brutus? ;))

This nanowrimo filter is a brilliant idea ^_^ I'd like to be on the filter and I think I'm gonna do one, too.

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

What are you writing for Nano?

You're on (for the moment you *are*) the nano list :)

[victoriaely.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure... I have an idea for an original fic, but I think I'll end up writing a gen Atl fic, Carson-centric, of course :D

I'll set up ze filter and post a bit about this later :)

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

Yay! More Carson-fic. :)

[catherfina.livejournal.com]

I'm always up to reading whatever you write.
And I love the turtle icon as you can see. ;)

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

:P The turtle icon is really making the rounds quickly! Espcially given that I made it in like 15 minutes in the middle of the night. :) Glad you like it - I was actually thinking of you when I made it.

And you're on the filter. *gulp* People actually want to see this thing as it develops. I guess that means I'm really going to have to write it. :)

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

You know I want to be on that list!

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, go figure. I could see that one coming. :>)

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

Wow! You must be physic, man! ;)

[distaff-exile.livejournal.com]

New Beckett/Sheppard all November?

*raises hand, jumps up and down* Me! Me! I'll read it!

(eta: Nergle. this may or may not double-post.)

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

It didn't.

But yeah, that's the plan. About 1600 words a day on this one monster piece if all goes well. :) Beware the beta-spam. :)

[distaff-exile.livejournal.com]

*evil cackle* I am ready for the beta-spam, gosh darn it.

[rangerlyn.livejournal.com]

May I be included? And good luck on the NaNoWriMo - I've actually decided to attempt it myself (although I'm feeling rather intimidated by the whole thought of it right now...)

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

What are you writing for it?

And now you're making me realize what I've gotten myself into! :) You're added to the filter. :)

[rangerlyn.livejournal.com]

Eh, I haven't completely decided yet, but it's between one of two things - an original work, or something based in Babylon 5 universe - both of which have bounced around in my head and on computer for a few years now. I managed to recover my preliminary notes on the B5 story (computer semi-crash), but not on the original piece, although thankfully I still remember the gist of it pretty well.

Ah, but I bet you'll do fine! And thanks for adding me! :)

[master-chatnoir.livejournal.com]

I'd like to be filtered, please. I signed up myself, but if I manage to do *anything* I guarantee it won't be fit for public. But I can root and encourage!

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

You could always set up a filter and then just invite certain people to be on it to give you some cheerleading and a little beta help.

You know I'd be happy to help. :)

You're on my filter, so you can point and laugh before going to work on your stuff. :)

[master-chatnoir.livejournal.com]

Oh my! I'm *way* too chicken for that. When my sister and I decided we'd do NaNo, we did so with the express agreement that we would not ask each other to see what we've done. I'm sure I'll need an unbelievable amount of Beta help, but I would only ask for it after about a hundred million rewrites. This is because I am actually going to try to write something original. No kidding. How scary is that? Bok-bok!

Thank you so much for the offer. You know I value your opinions. So hopefully, once I grow a spine, I'll be taking you up on it. Asuming I actually wirte something . . . .

[kyrdwyn.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see what you get done.

At some point I should probably stare at my old NaNo fic.

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

You're on the filter. And yes, you should work on your own stuff. :)

[skeeterses.livejournal.com]

Me, me, me!

I'll take some Beckett/Sheppard whenever I can get it =)

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

It's going to be pretty raw at first. Be warned! :)

You're on the filter.

[kodiak-bear.livejournal.com]

Oh *please* put me on your filter, please please please! I adore your stuff! And I've been eagerly waiting your next Human Body installment.

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks. I've been putting this one off because I know the story I want to tell will be a monster. Nano is forcing me to quit stalling and get on with it already. :)

[dr-dredd.livejournal.com]

I have yet another grant to write, so I won't be able to do NanoWriMo this year. But I'd love to be on your filter. Good luck!

[logans_girl2001]

We can encourage each other. I'm going for an original story for my NaNo. Never written outside of fandom before so it'll be very interesting to see if I can do it.

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

Hey there... I can't put you on my filter if you don't friend this journal. :)

[logans_girl2001]

Sorry. I'll do that now.

[illman.livejournal.com]

Do you mind adding me to your NaNo filter?

NanoWriMo

[dragonfairymaid.livejournal.com]

I would like to be added to the list/filer.

Re: NanoWriMo

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

Hey there. I'm not trying to be obnoxious or elitist or anything, but who the heck are ya? :) I went to your journal and there are no posts.

I'm pretty easy going about adding people to the filter, but I have been hit by a thousand 'spam-journals' lately. :( So i just need to know there's a real person behind this. :)

Re: NanoWriMo

[dragonfairymaid.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that and I do understand. I am a real person. I plan to post to my LJ, I have even had things written in my head, but I get busy at work and forget. Shame on me!! I need to crack down on myself. I have e-mailed with Kodiak Bear (Hi! if you are reading this), she, I hope, will vouch for me.
I am a member of the SGAHC, which is where I have read your stories and enjoyed them. Is this enough?

Re: NanoWriMo

[thefannishwaldo.livejournal.com]

Ah, Cool. Like I said, I just needed to know that there was a person behind the journal. I've been 'culled' (to phrase a coin :) by like 4 spamming journals in the past week. gr.

You're added to the filter, just scroll back if you want to see tonight and last night's posts. :)

And say Hi to Kodiak for me. :)

Waldo. (posting from her regular journal... oops.)

[ladykoori.livejournal.com]

Do you have any idea how hard it would be to throw a rock from Muncie, IN to Chicago? Seriously, its a four hour drive. My arm is good, but not that good. :)

filter add, please. *more begging*

[smallwaldo.livejournal.com]

You're in. Just go into the journal itself and scroll back to get to the beginning. (If you dare)

[ladykoori.livejournal.com]

Yay. Now I have something to do while drinking wine and waiting for returns.

Nano

[majscarter.livejournal.com]

If you're still needing some people to beta and/or give feedback I'm putting up a shout out. ;-) New to the whole livejournal world, but am an avid Shep/Beck fan, to be honest it's the first and only slash pairing I'm into.
