Last summer, TurtleWriter27 was doing JulyWriMo and she needed her BUTT kicked to keep her motion forward rolling! It turned out to be an inspiration to many of us. A community of people who give encouragement and receive encouragement can be nothing but a good thing.
So come and join us on a regular basis once November gets here or just drop by once in a while to kick someone's butt in order to get them moving again!
Turtle soup sounds good to a green dragon... so, come HERE turtle. I'll chop your front legs off and boil them up with my turkey necks if you are not planning your NANO right now! Someone pass me the salt.

I see your city watching from your rooftop has been upgraded to your own fire... wait... isn't that downgraded?! What? Are you subletting your rooftop?
So glad Nov 1st falls on a weekend this year! Yes. I hope I get a huge hunk of words down the tube that weekend.
What's your name mean The anab.... like Ahab? backwards for banana? Or are you talking about your abs... ?

Jade, I was standing around a trashcan fire outside a pub with a bunch of hippies after speaking at a peace rally. it was friggin awesome. My roof is still alright, and is still mine, as it is attached to my walls, which are attached to my floor.
boots and alchemist, get writing. Jade and I have a reputation to uphold, and this time, we will hold nothing back. NOTHING, DO YOU HEAR ME? NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

If someone puts a curse on your words, my dear wizard, you may have to come back and force yourself into the pot of hot boiling oil. Or perhaps we'll come in and paint your castle walls Baker-Miller pink. Ya know, to break the curse!
It's hell when you know you should write but you can't find that right motivation. Turtle wasn't sure she'd make it but she found out she just needed a butt whippin!

I'm going to need a beating on a regular basis, I assure you.
That sounded a little too kinky for my tastes. My bad. But you know what I mean.
It's only October 5, but let the kicking commence! I should be planning.

LOL oh my but I'm not doing kinky butt whippins!!
But Erin... I will ... well, I was gonna say shave you bald.. but noooooooo... I'm not saying that... Geesh, why did ya have to bring up the kinky word?!!
Hummm... Alas, I will throw writing pens at you until you meet your daily word count! You know, where the pointy ends are attacking your arms?!
Or, I will shave your fingernails down to the middle of your fingertips... hehehehehhehee... eewww blood and gore!
Just what we need to keep motivated around here.
The deal is... we all can get our 50K IF.... IFFFFF.... IF... AND ONLY IF.... we keep our word count going. Because 1,667 plus 1,667 plus 1, 667, etc. equals 50K.
And the only way to get there is to .........................W R I T E .

Onward you march! Nowwww.

Get off your butt and finish it before I send my lard-ass body into a flying leap to plant my boots in your behind.
There ... feel better? I seem to do the "Everyone's Substitute Mum" thing so well at times.
If you're posting the fanfic in spurts, ask your readers/reviewers/mortal enemies to encourage/plead/threaten you to finish.
And don't fret; I too am working on a fanfic for a NightScrawlers Challenge, but before I clean that sucker up, I have to finish (by Oct 24th, or 22nd to be safe!) four entries into a local writing contest. Have no chance of winning, but if I did it'd be for MONEY, sooo ... motivation time!

Don't let Gammy do it. She'll SLIME ya! But she's not sluggish about it. It happens rather quickly.
Eternity, don't take FOREVER do get your writing done! Make a goal and meet it and I'll give ya a NaNo cookie!
OR I'LL LIGHT THE TORCHES!
Don't be a big dummy. WRITE!

Whoa, peeps, I'm a, like, metaphorical type slug. You know, the kind of fat person who sits around on forums instead of doing the laundry and writing her contest entries and watering her bean plants?
But I helped raise four teenagers and I survived last year's NaNoWriMo, so if you want encouragement (with a whip and possibly a bit of old-fashioned Granny chiding), I'm your gal.
Still, if it helps, I'll do my best imitation of the creature in Something Wicked This Way Comes and SLIME ALL OVER YOU UNTIL YOU START CHURNING OUT SOME ACTION OR CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS!
{How's that for openin' a six-pack o' whup-ass?}
Or you can take your chances with jade, who seems quite a fun sort and knows how to craft a pun at short notice...

And Kelia, just how do you outline?
Is your method detailed or vague?
Do you also outline subplots? How many subplots will you have?
How many main characters will you have and who are they?
Will your book have a theme or several themes and what are they?
What's your method of keeping the reader reading? Action? Shocks? Relationships? Suspense? Turmoil? Cliffhangers?
How does your beginning reflect the ending?
What 30 interesting words will you include in your novel?
NOW... GET BUSY!!!
jade
Puns crafted @ short notice: 1, but I was lucky.
Cans of Gammy-Whup-Azz bought: 0; I chickened out.
Days of fun to be had in November: 30; I hope!

I need my butt kicked so badly. My poor characters are screaming at me somewhere in the back of my mind, but I just feel like...well, like not doing anything. I just feel like sitting around and staring at the wall.

I need to be screamed at to get going with my stupid plot. I'm feeling incredibly uninspired. So far I've come up with the idea of one of my charactors being a VW camper van.
My sister, discovering this, then pointed out that there was already a movie called Cars.
