Do you like to write? Do you think you could write a novel in a month? Or set yourself a high word-count objective and meet it? Welp, 5 days late here for the announcement, but if you like a writing challenge head up to the EQD NaPoWriMo 2016 blog post!
Been in the process of creating a novel. Might go over the deadline, but it would still be a fun experience.
Don't tempt me. My work shall be original. Still with hooved creatures, but no Twilight Sparkle... just an Eclipse Corona. That's totally different.
Hmm, I think I can do it. Pretty confident.
Ought to hit up the EqD post and throw my hat in the ring.
Hmmmm.... I do think I need a little bit more work on my writing skills but...n I could give it a try
It's taken me four and a half years to write 71,000 ponywords, so this might not exactly be for me.
I'm doing it. On schedule so far, but the final product won't appear here. (It's pony, but not FiM)
We'll see if I can do it.
Ironically, I'm pretty close to on track for 50,000 words of reviews this month at the rate I'm going.
I was actually looking for something just like this! How convenient!
I don't know, I spend most of my free time reading and 50 to 100,000 words is a lot of work if you have no professional training. I've been wanting to read the St. Martins handbook for years, I just never seem to find the time for it. Then again, it might relive a whole lot of bound energy making me faster than a lightning bug... Of course, if I could bottle that lightning I'd be sitting pretty.
[color=#ea80b]On second thought... maybe I want to get a little bit more practice in before I do something like this. Sorry
4286168 Well, if it makes you feel better, that's about as creative as Crepuscular Scintillation.
I don't have a pony story, but I'm trying to write a story called Cannon Princess. It's sort of a mash up of ww1 in a fantasy world.

Actually, she's called Corona for a reason: she was born with a crown (a band) of white fur on her head, that supposedly means she had a grand destiny. Part of her schtick is figuring out whether destiny is real or not, because she never does anything grand, and her choice of grand cause to champion for is something nobody cares about anymore.
So... yeah, I want the 'Corona' part, but the Eclipse part I'm not sure of.
Thanks for the sentiment, though
Excellent news! I accepted the challenge and sent the registration email. The previous two times I participated, I didn't get past 7,000 words a month. This time will be different.
4286825 Or Eventide Twinkle! Or wait! Bedtime Flicker!
Welp, time to come out of retirement!

Not helping.
On second thought, I suppose it is as creative as Sunset Shimmer or Starlight Glimmer, in retrospect
Par for the course, yay!
Definitely doing this. Nothing like a good kick in the ass!
Just a helpful reminder for everyone:
We've got a NaProWriMo Channel on the EqD Discord Chat (#napowrimo): https://discord.gg/eZAvgBg
We've also got the Skype NaPoWriMo Chat: https://join.skype.com/JjDQxEJdir5w
(You're only allowed in here after you've done your word count for the day. )
Every day, I'm starting things off with a writing quote and some fitting piece of epic writing music and we're ending every night with an episode of the greatest writing podcast in the Cosmere AND the multiverse: Writing Excuses!
And just a suggestion, even if you're doing pony words, if you're doing 50K, go sign up for National Novel Writing Month! Get all official like and get tips from professional authors, encouragement and all sorts of fun goodies!
I thought about it, but it turns out the rules state that if I get any kind of core idea, I have to immediately forward it to Blueshift or SS&E.
Thanks for the post, D <3
I will participate too. I would actually write anyway, but I'm sending in my fic for Flurry Heart "Princess Flurry Heart, Destroyer of Worlds!" and "Aunt Millie". And maybe a third fic that needs continuation, if I manage to update a third fic at the same time.
ugh. 2 weeks, 6 chapters, 30k words, and I still haven't officially started the story. >.<
4375357 Well, you might have to wait until later in the year for that one!
