  • IWSG, November 2023: NaNoWriMo, Y’All!

    Poe, helping us make the bed

    Life is crazy busy, so this will be a short post.

    The Insecure Writers’s Support Group question for November 2023 is:

    November is National Novel Writing Month. Have you ever participated? If not, why not?

    Yes I have! This will be my eleventh year, and this year I am switching things up by attempting fifty (50!) flash fictions in the month of November. To aid that quest, I created a simple prompt generator which you can play with here. It produces random combinations of subject, setting and genre. Here are some examples:

    Subject: Espionage, Empire
    Setting: Virtual Reality
    Genre: Horror

    Subject: Revenge, Environment
    Setting: Outpost
    Genre: Western

    Subject: Precursors, Dreams
    Setting: Boardroom
    Genre: Cyberpunk

    The only rule I am holding myself to is that when I generate a prompt, I have to use that prompt. Generating prompts until I find one I like is not allowed.

    My user name on nanowrimo.org is JohnFromGR, so feel free to send me a buddy request.

    Happy NaNoWriMo, everyone!
