Any 2022 NaNoWriMo writers?

[PioneerChicks]

This is my first year doing NaNoWriMo and I'm super excited! Any other BYCers doing it this year?

For those who don't know, National Novel Writing Month is where you write 50,000 words in a book in the month of November.

Good God, 50,000 words is a lot!

I write on and off, but I think 50,000 words is a bit more than I could do, let alone in a month

Wow! What will your novel be about? What geners are your favorite to write?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Also what are Plotters and Pantsers?

It is a lot! I've been writing for a few hours each day to keep up.

I've done fantasy in the past, but recently I've been more into historical fiction and similar genres. This novel is set in a form of alternate reality, and my theme is freedom and leadership. Here's my back cover blurb:

Spoiler: Story premise

Refugee Porter Barr has been enthusiastically preparing for his father and younger brother to escape from their homeland and join him. But when his father doesn’t arrive, both brothers begin to investigate this country’s governing powers more closely.

At the same time, entrepreneur Sandi Myers’ dream of starting her own private school is about to become a reality, but when unexpected regulations and taxes begin tearing down her progress she struggles to counter their efforts.

What are you both writing about? What genres do you like?

Also what are Plotters and Pantsers?

Plotters (also called Outliners) plot out their book, and pantsers fly by the seat of their pants. Plantsers are somewhere in between.

Oh, I'm probably a plantser then. I have specific scenes mapped out in great detail, it's the connecting that I have issues getting to.

I do a lot of young adult plots, usually supernatural and or medieval

Pfft. I bet I write 50k words a month on BYC.

Same for me. But I've been trying out K. M. Weiland's method of outlining on the Helping Writers Become Authors website and I've really enjoyed it! It makes more sense to me than any other method I've seen.

No way! I'm a medieval geek. I'd love to read an snippet of one of your stories, if you'd like to share!

I'd have to reread and make sure it's appropriate to post here. Most have very adult themes for the plots
