So I'm pretty much never going to be able to do NaNoWriMo. November is just the wrong month for it. Too much personal and family stuff going on that month, not to mention the whole Thanksgiving thing here in the US. And even JanNoWriMo starts too soon. The kids are still home from school as the calendar rolls over into January. So I'm doing my own unofficial version, from Jan 16 through Feb 15.

Anyone else want to join me? The rules are pretty much the same as NaNo. 50k smexy words over the course of a month. You can outline ahead of time, but not use any words that were written prior to the start date. The project can be one 50k novel, two 25k novellas, or a string of shorts, as long as the total adds up to 50k. The goal is simply words on (virtual) paper. Or consider doing half of it, if you don't have time for the whole thing.

I'm 23k into mine. I'd like to see if I can take it to about 65k-70k by the time it's finished, so I'm in, if that's all right.

OH MY GOD YOU RULE-BREAKER!

It must be a new project!!!!111!!!!!one!!eleventy!1

*ahem*

Yes. Well. I'll regret this, but fuck it. I haven't had a period of intense writing in far too long so I'm in.

I'll announce the title on the day I begin...if I've decided. Currently swithering between two.

But yes, direcake - this means the doctor with the initials PJ will splurt into action on the 16th.

And to keep things organised, I'll outline this one ahead of time. I've got a lot on my plate, especially this month, but if I plan ahead for this book it'll be easier to jump write in and start on Paul's story.

Sounds good. I don't think it pays to be too anal about rules and stuff. The goal is just to get writing.

Wahey! Works for me. :D

I'll be a bit further along by the 16th (I hope) but I'll use the exercise to aim to finish the book by the end date.

Indeed. I'm quite certain I've never seen you post the word "cock".

I would never say cock, nor write stories about people cramming their cocks into cock-receptive orifices.

Steady. We'll have none of that here. We're respectable authors of smexy smex and we finish the shit we started.
I am in. I need something to help pass the time, and the timing works well for me.
If you make your 50k I'll email you Devon, dedicate the book to you when it sells, and give you first glimpse of the cover art when I get it. :D

I dunno yet if I'm in... I'm supposed to be starting a new project for Ellora's Cave the week after next, according to my self-set schedule, so I'll definitely have something to work on during that time frame, but because of my tendency to bounce among two or three projects I don't think I'd be able to make 50K. (Looking at my to-do list, during that month I'll be working on the EC project and two revise/resubmits, so those aren't totally new writing.)

*raises hand sheepishly in the back row*

Hi all, bit of a newbie to AW here. :)

I'd love to join you. I'm pushing through my WiP at the moment, and I shit you not, just last night I realised that the warm and sticky back story of my MC and his lost lady love just isn't going to make it in.

Well not in any detail. And I want to write it in steamy detail.

The timing is spot on too - the WiP and I will be having a short break.

So, can I play too please?

With a posting style like this, you're damn right you can play! :D

Behind you!
I'm a definite "maybe." I have houseguests--the difficult ones--during part of this period, and I don't have a project waiting in the wings, planned but not executed.

I will, however, commit to cheer on those who need PorNoWriMo to complete their 50K. Go, writers, go! And maybe I'll be among their number, maybe not.

Of course you can play too. The more the merrier.

And welcome to the seamy side of AW. :welcome:
