National Novel Writing Month – November 2013
I plan on participate in NaNoWriMo this year, I have never done it before, so it will be a totally new experience. First of all, will have to write in english, that’s new. And I have to finish a novel (50 000 words) in a month! So october will be used for planning the new novel, which I already have fragments of, and writing on my main project.
I am also looking in to the different novel-making tools that are out there. For now, I have only read small bits about yWriter5 and Scrivener. yWriter5 is free to use, but Scrivener you will have to pay 40 USD for. So I will download both the yWriter5 and the trial for Scrivener, so that I can test which I find most useful.
From yWriter5′s webpage:
yWriter is a word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. It will not write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas or perform creative tasks of any kind. yWriter was designed by an author, not a salesman!
From Scrivener’s webpage:
Scrivener is a word processor and project management tool created specifically for writers of long texts such as novels and research papers. It won’t try to tell you how to write – it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application.
Does anyone have any experince with the programs?
And, here comes the big shock, I will write fantasy, since that’s my genre. Or, it will be a mix of fantasy and fairytale. So I am excited to se if I can pull this of, or if it will be a fiasco. Only time will tell.
