Well, I have read over my novel and decided that it is the worst thing I have EVER written in my life. It is so absolutely dreadful that it almost makes me want to delete the entire thing. But I’ll try to restrain myself, because that’s what I did to the majority of my NaNovel last year, and now I kind of forget how I finished it,

But basically, it’s the same dialog over and over for each class, and I use the same description and everything. But I’ll send it anyway, because it’s about Muse Academy.

Sorry for the double-post, but I forgot to say a few things.

First: Will you be able to to have paragraphs? In Prarilius Canix’s novel, there aren’t any paragraph indentations and it makes it a bit tiresome to read.

Second: Is there any way I should format my document for the footnotes before I send it in? It has about eleven or twelve footnotes, and I’m not sure where to put them, but I’ll format it before I send it so the GAPA’s don’t have to tediously add them to the original text.

(8) Yes.

(7) Pan — Rebecca is posting all the NaNovels, but I’ll tell you what I think looks best on the Web.

I like double spacing between every paragraph, including one-line pieces of dialogue. That’s readable even without indented paragraphs. The quick way to do it is with search-and-replace. First replace all end-of-paragraph/return characters (they’re different in different word-processing programs) with two such characters. Then replace all instances of three returns with two returns, and repeat until no three-returns are left.

As for footnotes, put an asterisk (*) next to the text to be footnoted. Then run the footnote itself after the end of the paragraph. Put it between double brackets, and start with another asterisk followed by the word “FOOTNOTE:” in upper-case. It will look like this:

….words words words words* words words words words end of paragraph.

[[*FOOTNOTE: words words words words end of footnote.]]

Story continues more words more words more words more words…

By the way, we editors often use double square brackets to insert notes to writers or copy editors in the middle of text. They’re easy to search for, because they’re not used for anything else. The notes themselves are written in upper case to make them stand out from the normal text.

Robert (9): I love using double brackets! They’re amazingly fun–I use them all the time when editing the school newspaper.
I’m a bit confused about the search-and-replace method. I use Microsoft Word. How do I tell it to replace the end of the paragraph? ::mind spins::

Prarilius Canix (10) – No, it’s fine, I think it was the Google Docs thing that did it.

Kiki (11) – Editing? ::ears perk up:: ::raises hand:: I love editing!

(14) If you pick the “show all” or “show invisibles” option from the editing menu (I think it’s the editing menu; might be the options menu), you’ll be able to see the end-of-paragraph symbols. I think that in Word you search for “^p”; give it a try. In some word processors, it’s backslash-p (“\p”).

Prarilius Canix, taking a break from NaNoWriMo

Google Docs won’t let me read any of the NaNos. I sent a request to the “owner of the document” (hopefully a GAPA) to let me access them.
It’s an automatically generated e-mail… I hope it doesn’t use my full name…

I’ve been stealing a few moments from social obligations and hiding in the laundry room to post NaNo novels. No time to fix up formatting anomalies caused by arguments between Word and Google, so please bear with some odd font changes and such. I thought you’d rather see them now than wait. Will try to tidy up when I have more time.

Rebecca (19): Thanks for putting up all the novels!

I couldn’t figure out how to automatically put spaces between all the paragraphs, so I’m just going through manually and clicking “return” after each paragraph. It’s very tedious and it’s taken me almost an hour so far, but that’s okay. It’s actually not that bad, though, so that’s good.

I have just begun Canix’s novel. So far it is pretty good, but…I have to say this…a little bit stilted. I believe Canix has said it as well, so I don’t feel too bad about mentioning it. Other than that, which I imagine will be edited out eventually, it’s good, and my only other complaint is that I shan’t be able to read it or any others until I have gone and worked off my need to write.

It’s very strange, but I literally cannot read something written by a fellow teen or preteen author without having to go write myself.

in December 1st, 2007 @ 16:45

Kiki: I take it you didn’t get to 50,000, but wanted us to see it, or did you really make it somehow? Either way, I skimmed a few little pieces (i. e. I went really fast becuase I knew I would get excited about the story and not be able to stop) and it looks great ( I skimmed the others, too, guys, don’t feel bad!) and even if you didn’t make it to the 50,000, you obviously are a good writer, as getting into Muse cannot be easy.

40- The stiltedness is a result of trying to bump up my word count. I noticed it too.
My writing is also too flowery and some of my sentences border on run-on. But that’s a necessary consequence of NaNo.

Jadestone is, unfortunatly, stuck in a hotel for the night (with no extra clothes ) because of snow. We’re at a hockey tournament in wisconson… so I can’t send mine in yet. Sorry. It’s not finished story-wise either though, and to have it make sense you’d also have to read the 10,000 words I did last year whicch was the begining of this years.

Also, crap. Mine is bacisally one long chapter because I didn’t know where I should break them. Actually wait in the middle there’s one from someone elses point of view that stands alone, but it’s aslo the only thing not written from my characters point of view so is slightly out of place. Oh well.

I will read these as soon as I get home! Can’t wait!

Robert (55): I didn’t actually put much thought into most of the dialogue, even though I should have. Mostly, it was just there to inform. I wanted to make it interesting, while still explaining everything about the school and the classes. Personally, I think it is dreadfully colorless. But that’s just my opinion, after spending a month with it. I think I need to give it some space, and then come back to it in March for NaNoEdMo, with a fresh mind and such. My favorite lines are Paul Baker’s as well. Though I ended basically every line with “he said with a smile.”

I’ve already saved everyone’s NaNo.

I think when I finish the chapter I’m working on, I may send it in early, because it may never finish anyway

Uh, Pan? Suggestion: The words “It was fun,” “It was cool,” and “It sounds fun,” were used a bit too much. Perhaps a theserus would be a benift to your library?

Beavo (87): Yeah, I say that way too much. I also end basically every piece of dialog with “s/he said with a smile.” I was more going for the word count, and hardly thought about what I was writing. I’ll fix those when I edit. Though I absolutely hate thesauri, so I don’t think I’ll add one to my library.

So here’s what i’ve read so far, and my response…

PC-first ten pages were flamablamablous! kind of scary…reminded me of neil gaiman actually. can’t wait to find out what happens

Cinnamon Moon-also first ten pages, very interesting, and again, can’t wait to find out more! really nice setting/description-y stuff

kiki-first ten pages. to be honest, i kind of liked last year’s better (it was really good :D) but this one is good too! you can kind of see where it’s going from the beginning, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. (and knowing nano, it’ll turn out completely different than i’m expecting anyway) i’m excited for this one too!

PP-AAAH flamablamablous! first 20 pages so far, and loving it. MA FTW!

DAW-first 10 pages. i LOVE monica, she sounds like a fantastic character. the typos were a little distracting, but i guess that’s nano for you

Beavo-yours wasn’t up when i saved the rest, so i shall do so now and start reading it!

for everybody else, i’ve read however much you’ve sent me…

monty-well ok, i’d read the beginning of yours before, but i went back and re-read it just for fun. HILARIOUS “earth is the frat house of the universe” very douglas adams-y. love it.

julia-wow…yours was depressing. and deep. it was very good, and very thoughtful. i liked how you would pick up descriptions and backstory about random people around the area, and just give you the whole picture.

And then there’s me of course. i read my first 10 pages too, just because i didn’t really remember them, and found out that i didn’t hate them quite as much as i thought i would. it had nothing to do with the end story, of course, but that’s me…

i won’t do a long post like this every time i stop reading, just this one at the beginning and then another as i finish them so you can breathe now GAPAs!

Here’s something to think about:

139- This is something I’ve thought about a lot. It does mean that it’s published, but it’s not a glue-and-paper book (you can yell at me for being environmentally unfriendly if you like). Also, it can ruin your chances at making it into a glue-and-paper book, since some publishers won’t accept what has been previously published and no one is going to go buy/wait for the library to get a book that they can find by a simple internet search. So I’m wary of posting too much of my work on the computer.

The cliffhanger wasn’t actually too awful. It’s weird, but I didn’t feel like I was dying of suspense at all. Cliffhangers are like that. Sometimes I can walk in a bookish daze for weeks, slowly perishing from the suspense, and other times the cliffhanger doesn’t kill me or even bring me close to the edge of death.

It’s like in the sci-fi story. E2MB was bellowing at us about a cliffhanger, and I was looking at the story thinking, “Where?”

153

Prarilius Canix

in December 8th, 2007 @ 15:35

152- It’s all about the timing and the implications. Mine isn’t really a cliffhanger. After all, it’s revealed earlier in the story that Max can fly, so they will probably survive the drop.
If I’d had my way, I’d have ended with them landing on Canberra Isle, but I still had two thousand words to go. So I cooked up that stupid khenhundter plot twist.
I’ll probably severely rewrite that entire sequence- maybe even put it at the beginning of Windhenge.
Which brings me to a peculiar dilemma. I want to edit Flamehenge, because there are several inconsistencies, not to mention sloppy prose whichever way you look, and I want it to be my best work, because it’s a story with a lot of potential. But every time I pull it up and try to start editing, I feel like it’s a crime to change this beautiful achievement. It might be because I did some minor rewriting during November, and I consider rewriting part of the writing process. So when I start editing, there’s a voice that screams “CHEATER!! CHEATER!! NOVEMBER IS OVER! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH THE SACRED NANO,” and I chicken out and leave it alone.
Anyone else have this problem? Advice?

PP’s is really good. I just finished it. I only have two comments;
• The overuse of the word “fun”. Every class is descibed as “it should be really fun” or “It was really fun.”
• Also, especially at the start, you switch from first person to third: “I knew she was going to love it.”

But overall, it’s great! Pc’s next.

I’m reading Cinamoons. The only suggestion I have so far is how the two peoples (P&S) fell in love so fast and so early in the book. Isn’t that supposed to happen a little later? Mine happened early, but you have to consider that L&D liked each other long before D asked L out.

Hey, I’ve resolved to finish my novel by March, which means I need to get a MOVE ON.

Oh, by the way I just added a character named “Hawk Redtail” who can siphon colors. I wonder where he got that name? Hmmm, let’s THINK.

Cinamoon- Is the city’s name really ~~~~? Or does it have another name? Seriously, it dosn’t matter; I can’t pronounce any names in your novel. But I like it that way.

So, who has read mine, other than Kagcomix? *needsfeedbacknowpleasethankyou*

176- No, it isn’t. I was going to look up the Nepali name for everest, but I didn’t get round to it.

176- i really enjoyed it. it really sucked me in. all i could tink about when i wasn’t reading it was “i need to finish it wanna know what happens”. the only things i think need to be fixed/changesd are the spells. you need to make the spells your own and more originaly named. and perhaps less referances to hary potter.

I just finished Kiki’s. It was good, really good actually, but I couldn’t help but feel that Karen and Havzen were a little younger than fourteen. Dunno why.

Beavo-
First of all, your story is quite good.
Second, it would be better if it didn’t bear such an UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE to Harry Potter.
Third, I can’t read the end bit because it is my strict policy never to skip to the end before I’ve read the middle.

So, my conclusion:
Your story would be wonderful if you edited it and finished it.

There.

183-The author is younger than fourteen, I’m pretty sure.

Thank you, Alice. I’m stuck on that dammed Writers Block *curses* so it’s currently collecting dust somewhere deep in the junk pile I call “my documents”.

I have an idea for my NaNo next year, and I was wondering if it had already been done. It’s like the RPW thing where everybody writes letters instead of right out omnipotent action, but mine would have letters, diary entrys, emails, that sort of thing. Has it already been done?

191 – Similar things have been done, but if you had an original plot line, it wouldn’t matter.

I never got around to reading all of these. Just Flamehenge.

Oh, and wouldn’t “NaNoNovels” translate to National Novel Novels?
