New Novel November

I would like to know who in the fuck thinks they can write a novel in only a month.

Does anyone actually do any those challenges? I always thought it was a joke.
papalonian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
A lot of people do No Shave November, I assume anyone who says they do No Nut November is joking and I’ve never heard of the book one until now
Donkter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The communities for both of those challenges are so far apart that I doubt anyone does both.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Does anyone actually do either though?
Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m doing no shave and trying to grow a beard. It’s not going very well lol, it looks like shit
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It takes at least a month to get past the itchy and scraggly stage into something dignified.

Why are you guys doing this to yourselves?

Because From Software games aren't hard anymore.

NaNoWriMo? It’s a push to get that writing project out of your brain and onto paper, it’s super helpful for some people just to have something telling them to do the thing.
NNN? Test of self control. “I can quit any time I want” is something addicts say when they can’t quit any time they want. It’s also super easy, if it feels like masochism to not nut for more than a week, you’re addicted.
No shave november? Pure, unadulterated laziness.

Didn’t know about the novel one, but I already forgone NNN when doctors said it was bullshit.

National Novel Writing Month, often abbreviated NaNoWriMo, is an annual event encouraging people to finally write that novel they’ve always said they would. The goal is to write 50K words during the month. There are usually meet ups, writing workshops, and other gatherings so participants can encourage each other, share ideas, and generally have fun being part of a thing.

Great now I have to write a 50k word novel in 82 minutes.
TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 1 year ago
Some ridiculous percentage of all currently publishing novelists in the US have an MFA in literature or creative writing or something similar. If this makes you feel a little suspicious about how the publishing industry actually works, it should. It’s very much a closed ecosystem that’s all about recycling the tried and true and that is highly risk averse in terms of straying from the norm. This is why it’s almost impossible for “regular” people to get a novel published unless they self-publish.
RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Since when do you have to write a 50k novel?
voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They’re talking about National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWriMo, which is November.
TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 1 year ago
Also, 50k words is pretty short for a novel. It’s more of a novella.

Why do Americans ruin everything?
It’s not no shave November is Movember. Moustaches for Novemeber. Optional sideburns but they can’t touch the moustache. Just like the cool old timers. It’s been very clear when this started what the rules were.
And it isn’t about doing it as a challenging it’s about raising awareness and money for testicular cancer.

So is self-flagellation, if you’re into self-denial and masochism. Make of that statement what you will.
voidMainVoid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That doesn’t sound like self-denial. What are you denying? That sounds like an indulgence.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I solve this problem by not writing a book and masturbating.
ickplant@lemmy.world 1 year ago
At the same time‽
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. It is very easy to masturbate while not writing.
M137@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Or you could solve it by nut writing a book. Make it a two birds, one stone thing, but more like “many nuts, one book”
Sondermotor@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There’s a 50k word novel that doesn’t use the letter E. Increasing the letter count tenfold while only using A, C, G, T, & U is on another level.
