Anyone else doing NaGraNoWriMo?

So this is a thing?? Anyone participating?

http://nagranowrimo.tumblr.com/

I am and I'm using it to complete my stupid Teaser/Pilot comic! I've never done anything like this, so I'm kind of over excited and joined LITERALLY in a spur of the moment. I've already blocked out what I'm going to be doing in written form, hah.

There's still time to join (you can at any time)!

I've always been a member of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) but this is my first time hearing about "NaGraNoWriMo". Looks it's run by an alternate group, but I'll check it out lol

I keep meaning to, but I never manage! I don't really have time to do it ever (I challenge myself enough already balancing school and comics). I'm impressed by everyone who does do it, though! Good luck with it! (:

Okay despite what I said, I have actually joined it...

I've seen NaNoWriMo everywhere!
Definitely check it out!! I look forward to it if you do.

Yeeeeesssss!! Good luck!!

Never heard of this but it seems like a fun challenge. Might be a good way to stay focused on on making pages.

I might do it. I have a script for Voidcall that's been lying around for a few months.

Thanks for sharing! Maybe I can start expanding some ideas that I have written down already.

Oh, cool! I've done NaNoWriMo, like, 10 times (which only means I have 10 unfinished 50 000-word stories sitting around in various folders) but I've never participated in the comics-equivalent! It looks like fun!

Alas, I don't think I'll join in! I'm already juggling 2 different comics-projects and a bunch of other stuff too, so I don't have the energy to participate in something like this. Maybe next year?

@rc360 @panistheman @aspiderjonny
I look forward to seeing the final result if you guys DO join!!

@AnnaLandin
That's kind of funny! I have a few friends who do it all the time, and that's how I heard about this one.
Absolutely! Good luck with your current things and I do hope you can next year, I'd love to see what you can come up with.
Maybe jot down some ideas for next year? Might be fun~

rc360 2015-09-02 15:01:00 UTC #12

I only write, so all you'll get is a script from me, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway!

Stellamari 2015-09-02 15:14:39 UTC #13

This is my first time hearing this! Unlike many previous years, this year I finally get to have some free time around November so i think I'll focus on Nanowrimo instead! But good luck to you and other participants!

Waterdrain 2015-09-02 16:23:19 UTC #14

Whoa this sounds really cool! I've never heard of it until now but it makes me wish that I could join ^^

Jelw 2015-09-02 19:21:17 UTC #15

Oh maybe I'll look into joining it next year- didn't know it even existed and I doubt I can get into a proper headspace to work on it with no prior knowledge.

Kamikaze 2015-09-02 19:58:25 UTC #16

Heck yeah I am! NanoWriMo really helps me set aside time for writing episodes of my comic (because I'm crazy and write out entire episode story arcs until finished before my team starts working on art).

gearpunk 2015-09-03 00:48:03 UTC #17

@Kamikaze Yeeeeesss!! Seeing that you're entering is so fun~ I love your comic and your style!

@rc360 Hey! At least it's something!!

@Jelw I didn't either and jumped into it before I read most of it heh. It's pretty lenient compared to Nanowrimo, and focuses on all aspects of comic making, not just the actual comic itself. It helps if you have a bit of an open schedule and lets you make your own goals
