Hey everyone, I think I made a post similar to this last year, but I'm making a new one. To put it simply, I'm participating in NaNoWriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month. Are any of you doing the same? If so, tell me in the comments. Maybe we can read each other's novels!

I have an account, but I just don’t know what to write about...
You could turn your main fanfic (sorry I forget what its called) into story-style writing instead of RP style
Oooooo, that’s a very good idea. But idk how Cass would feel about it since we write it together and all...
LOL that's what I'm here for.
I do it too! Actually, Mrs. Alvarez was the one who showed it to me. I've had a lot of fun writing stories. What are you writing about?
I'm writing a prequel story to one of my favorite series, Ranger's Apprentice, set 150 years prior to Book 1: The Ruins of Gorlan.
Of course I do! It’s great because you know what things are like during the series, so you know that you need to include those significant events, names, places, etc. And you get to go into specific details with those events. You also don‘t need to come up with the basic plot. The only bad thing I can think of is making it long enough. Seriously, fifty THOUSAND words? Last year, I set my goal as 13,000. I’d be halfway done already if that was still my goal.
Ugh, I really wanted to do it this year, but I have a ton of other things I need to for school, CAP, and horse back riding this month, and also my computer is still out of commission so I sadly sitting this year out
My high school is doing their own club for it, but I didn’t join because same thing here, I’m always busy on the farm, with our horses, school obviously, and my dad has strict rules for my “playing time” on my phone.
‘Playing time’ XD
i wish i could sign up to NaNoWriMo, i'm just not old enough.
Awww, really? That’s too bad, Sunblaze. Are you sure it wasn’t just glitching?
it says i need to be 13. so half a year away
So your 12 then... Do you by any chance have any interest in flying?
That's weird. I was twelve last year and I did it. Maybe the rule changed?
XP Dragon what do you mean by Flying.
Like in air planes
kinda
Well... you might not be able to participate in NaNoWriMo quite yet, but there is this really cool program called Civil Air Patrol (CAP). CAP, is the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force, and their missions include:
Emergency Services- offering both ground teams and air crews that are trained to help with Search and Rescue, disaster relief, and humanitarian missions. CAP is credited with saving an average of 100 lives per year.
Aerospace Education- CAP teaches teens about flying both powered planes and gliders. We have courses that cover anything from how flight works, to sending rockets to space.
Cadets Programs- this includes military drill & ceremonies, leadership training, and physical fitness, for youth ages 12-18. Cadets are allowed to participate in emergency service missions, and are given 10 free 'O-Rides' when then join (5 for glider, 5 for powered plane).
Idk if your into this sorta thing, but I have really enjoyed my time as a CAP cadet. I joyed last year, and I've been able to participate in so many things that I didn't even know was a 'thing' before I signed up. I have not been able to do much involving ES (Emergency Services), but I have had a lot of fun doing the aerospace and cadet oriented activities. If your interest, here's the link to CAP's website: www.gocivilairpatrol.com
That sounds cool!!!
Irk?
Dragon, we all understand that you enjoy being in the Civil Air Patrol. But this post wasn't made for that. If you want to tell Sunblaze about CAP, you could have directed her to any of the numerous posts in which you have informed us about it. I made this post to discuss NaNoWriMo. Is that fair?
Sorry Flamefrost, I'm not intending to make anymore comments about CAP on this post (only replies)
For the record, I don’t mind when Dragon mentions CAP, even if sometimes it’s a bit off topic. I find it very interesting and informative.
I’m doing NaNoWriMo! Already got 4,000 plus words!
Great! What is your goal?
Not to brag, but I have nearly 30,000 words. My goal by the end of the month is 50K, so I've got a lot of catching up to do.
My goal was 15,000. I think I kinda failed....
Flamefrost, WOW! THAT IS A LOT OF WORDS! (did you get 50k?)
