Delightfully Misplaced; A Peculiar Narrative

By Josiah Gray: "In compiling these short tales, I attempt to form a semblence of coherency between them. In short they are my life, my narrative, my autobiography, my stories, and my tales of oddity told in only such a way as to fully capture their character. The contents vary between the comical, the dramatic, the intense, and occasionally the downright strange."

Basic Beautiful Loser

By Matt Bell.

Technicolour Nightmare

By Rosie Alma: "I did it last year. I finished with exactly 50,000 words. I think what I wrote was absolute crap and I have never gone back to read it."

one nanowrimo to go, please

Untitled Adam Wilson Novel

By Adam Wilson. "i've written one and three quarter novels already to much fanfare. soo. you all know who i am. i've been thinking about doing another. about what? who knows. we'll see where this gets us. or how many of our ideas get stolen. (insert shifty eyed dog)."

By Diane Dixon: "Chapter 1:If At First You Don't Succeed, Wail and Kick and Scream!"

Goatlady's Novel

Thank You!

Your blog has been submitted successfully. I'll add it as soon as I can, but there may be a turnaround time of a few days. (Especially once November starts -- I'll be writing my own novel!) In the meantime, have a look at some of the other novel-blogs.

Good luck on your novel!

Runaway Composers

By Eli Goodman. "This is a book about a kitten who gets nuclear missles for his birthday. Or maybe it's about time travel. Or high school. All of the above? I don't know. I'll be putting up chapters as I write them, starting Nov. 1. Before and after this time period, it's a general blog."

The Hard Way Out

By James Logsdon. "My life has been hard because I've caused it to be. I live on the edge. So I've decided to base my novel around events in my life as they've come and gone. Names, places, and dates will, of coures, be changed, but the jist of it won't. There will also be some nice additions from my fantasy driven mind, so excpect a fantasy twist from the 'norm' of real life."

Thinly Veiled

By Georgia Jones. "I'm not telling anyone about this site."

Pardon the Egg Salad

By Jennie Baxla. "I guess I should explain why I titled this blog Pardon the Egg Salad. I got it from a poem by Billy Collins, Marginalia. It's one of my favorites. The last line is something someone wrote in a copy of Catcher in the Rye that Collins was reading, 'Pardon the egg salad stains, but I'm in love.'"

Song of the Dead: Reflections of a Life

By RD Smith: "Novel about Persephone's life after being kidnapped. Very modern persepective on life, including her favorite things and her views on her portrayals in plays, novels, etc."

The Trainer

By Kelly Leszczynski. "The Trainer is not fact or fiction. It is a story that finds itself in between both worlds."

My NaNoWriMo Blog

By Ryan Wiedmaier "I have no ideas, no characters, no plot, no nothing."

In Progress

By John Gardner. "Prospective econ PhD student. Caffeine junkie. Internet freak. Secular humanist."

Jon's Book

By Jon Flacke. "Think about it though, it's like writing a 4 page (double spaced) Western Civ paper the night before its' due 30 days in a row."

If You Asked Me To

By Brandie.

A Sense of Last Things

By Gary Cortese. "A novel about a man who runs from the big city because evil has invaded his life."

What a Novel Idea!

By Lou Tamposi. "I need you guys to suggest a topic for my state of the art, cutting edge, break-out new novel. So come on, cut me some slack, and comment on a lovely topic."

Woven Spirits, Braided Fates

By Judith Hutchins. "When Joan takes a leap of faith and moves her family to an unknown place over four hundred miles from home, she discovers that there is more than a better life for her kids here. Here is her future, her past and her present, but her soul mate, in a place that feels like home before the boxes are unpacked. Dee is tired of being someone's wife, yet too insecure to be alone. Two years into her third marriage, she's discovered that this union, too, is irrepairable. She holds on for safety as a newcomer takes her for a mind bending roller coaster ride, one which tramples on her morals and her sense of reality, and yet she wants the ride. Journey with these two women as they discover themselves together. A kinship which seems preordained by the gods, and yet breaks every common belief of goodness. Will the two make good on fate, or will the very fabric of thier lives unravel as they fight the inevitable?"

Till The End

By Aymee Leake. "The wind howled and rapped at the meek wood door. The cold harsh breeze blew in through every crack in the small hut freezing them to the bone. A candle flickered dangerously on the table as if threatening to go out."

The Naturalist

By Martin Hollys.

The Prawns Of The Nut World

By Chas Rover. "Sounds like fun, don't it?"

Jade's Projects

by JadeMage. "Well, for my first attempt at Nano, I'm going to stick with what I know and write a vampire novel. I've been playing Vampire the Masquerade for some time now, so I'm pretty familiar with it. The novel in question will be set in Seattle, and is basically the unwritten (but outlined) back story for one of my VtM characters."

Love Lessons from Experience : Theirs not Mine

By |BadGirl`JeL|

Boy Crazy

By Something Smart. "Boy Crazy is (or rather, will be) about a boy crazy teenager. Ha! Unique title, you say. It will be a semi-autobiographical novel that is inspired on events of my rather colorful past. Hopefully it will be humorous. Hopefully it will be fun. Hopefully I won't be making a rather large public nuisance, but luckily the internet is nothing if not anonymous."

Shannon Snider

"On October 31st, as the clock nears midnight, I will be poised and ready before my keyboard. Then, as the chimes mark the midnight hour and the first few seconds of November 1st begin, I will open my trusty Microsoft Word, start a new document, and type...."

Corrections to Listings

So some of you have been asking how to change your blog or novel information once it's already been submitted. Due to the huge number of submissions I'm dealing with and the fact that I'm going to be writing my own novel as well, I'm not going to be able to deal with them all very effectively. So here's what to do.

First of all, you can make any changes to your blog itself at any time. If you change the address, just create a new blog at the old address and post a link to the new location. That way, people will still be able to find it from the old link.

Now, if the listing here on NaNoBlogMo needs to be changed, leave a comment on this post. (Please do not resubmit your blog -- that just complicates matters.) Mention what needs to be changed, and please include the permalink* to your post. Enter it as a clickable link, if you can:

<a href="LINK_GOES_HERE">like this</a>

Note that these are going to be given lower priority than regular submissions. Thanks for being patient.


* If you aren't sure what a permalink is, it's the page that is devoted to the permanent location of a single entry. On this particular blog, it is linked from the timestamp on each post. So find your listing in the archives, and then click the timestamp beneath it. It will take you to a page with an address like this:

http://nanoblogmo.blogspot.com/2004/11/your-title.html

That address is your permalink.

Welcome to NaNoBlogMo!
