why yes, i'm very mifu

Yessssssssssssssss, wrisomifu is a go for 2010. \o/ For those not in the know:

(Write Something, You Miserable Fuck), a writing group for embittered underachievers who enjoy the company of same, is gearing up for another month of woe and despair! To join, all you need to do is commit to writing (original fiction, fanfic, angry screeds, non-fiction, your memoirs, ransom notes, your thesis, poetry, graffiti - anything!) for at least ten minutes each day for the entire month of November. And you are permitted - required even! - to complain bitterly about every single word.

So excited! \o/ Not sure whether to do both it and mini_nanowrimo or bow out of mini_nano, but I probably could since I know for a fact I'd be writing past 10 minutes to get my goal of 100 words each day. Just would mean checking in at two comms, but that seems easy enough. Goddang, but wrisomifu fits my attitude *exactly*. This challenge is like made for me. \o/

If into that sort of thing, they're doing signups by invite until midnight on Oct. 31, also known as tomorrow. But those wanting invite have to comment at either:

LOL best comm name.

I think I'm gonna focus on MiniNaNoWriMo this year. Two comm check-ins seems like too much, when I could be using that time for, you know, WRITING.

Plus, I've got a bunch of my students on-board for the young writer's project version of NaNoWriMo, so I need to track my word counts for them, anyway.

My personal goal is a min of 200 words per day, average of 500. We'll see if I can manage it...

Oh, yes. Wrisomifu sounds exactly like the something I need right now.
Also mini_nanowrimo sounds quite tempting too.

How come I never hear about this stuff until (almost) late? Oh, that's right, because I'm surrounded by geniuses who don't need substitutions when they can do the real things. I feel so retarded right now.

This sounds so cool :D Man, where was stuff like this when I was in school? I would've loved that.

Good goals! I bet you can do that *\o/* I'll definitely cheer you on. :)

I know, right? XD When someone told me about it earlier this year, it cracked me up so much I knew I just *had* to participate if they did it again.

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

I only know about them because keerawa mentioned wrisomifu earlier this year, and it amused me so much I kept the community bookmarked and kept checking in to see if they'd be running it again. I think I ran into mini-nano by seeing someone's icon somewhere--totally random luck.

But I so understand that feeling--I've wanted to try Nano for years now, but I never do because I've never written that much ever. It's just a given that I'd fail. These sort of little things are the only things I could ever hope to finish--and even those I still might fail at. ^^; When I get in a bad moodswing, even 10 minutes/100 words is like scaling a mountain. So, we'll see, heh.

OMG, your ICON! *falls over laughing*

[jojothecr.livejournal.com]

I hear ya. I've written almost 31,000 words, but that's one story that I started in January. I just don't have the fantasy for long stories or what.

Nothing frustrates me as much as when I can't write. I'm no Shakespeare, but enjoy writing and when I can't write, I am so fckng angry.

So I just joined mini-nano and we'll see. I'm thanking you now, for the inspiration, I might want to kick your ass later for frustration. Be ready. :D

You can do iiiit!

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D It suits me and my so tiny 100 words a day goal too well. And I blame friend verbranden who's also one of my WoW guildmates for getting the whole "your face" phrase stuck in my head. XD

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

♥♥♥ \o/ Thankyou~ It's sad, considering how much some people out there write, but I'm so going to need the cheerleading to keep up 10min/100 words a day. I'm so bad at having good, consistent writing habits. ^^;

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure you'll make it through November with writing that much every day. *digs out cheerleader outfit*
*\o/* YOU CAN DO IT! *\o/*


^_^

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

YOU CAN DO IT!

We'll cheerlead each other, hard-core.

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

♥

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOO \o/ Ohman, I definitely will appreciate any and all cheerleading. And heck yes I'll be cheering you on. :D I've got no doubt you'll hit your goals. Go go go go \o/

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks.

[joseishijin.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO!!! You go, girl!

I am ridic, but I am trying Nano again even though I crashed and burned three weeks in last time.

Can I come in here and cry and demand cookies when I finally throw in the towel around mid November? &hearts

[whitereflection.livejournal.com]

Go go go! \o/ Awww sure, you can, but I'm still gonna cheer you on so you don't have to! *\o/* Go go go! ♥
