NaNoWriMo Notes | Richard Marcus

Another concern about the AI aspect.
#NaNoWriMo

PurpleyPumpkin Wow, that‘s crazy!😳 2mo

julesG Another fun thing ruined by AI. 😑 2mo

5feet.of.fury Yeah that‘s really scary 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Yup 😑 FYI, I just learned about an app called TrackBear that looks like it will do all the fun tracking stuff that the NaNoWriMo site did, and will import directly from that site! 2mo

NaNoWriMo Notes | Richard Marcus

Hey NaNoWriMo folks, some not great news: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2024/09/02/nanowrimo-gets-ai-sponsor-says-not-writing-yo...

#nanowrimo

GingerAntics How is that classist and ableist? It‘s humanist! Oh my god I am so over AI already. 2mo

ravenlee @GingerAntics I LOATHE AI. And I feel like science fiction has given us enough cautionary tales that we should, as a society, be way less enamored of it than we seem to be. 2mo

GingerAntics @ravenlee I feel like the funny thing is, the dividing line is political, as well as “those who read” vs “those who don‘t read” which is the problem when it comes to so many things (including AI). I saw the huge list of authors no longer supporting nano and people saying they weren‘t going to do nano anymore… I may be one of them. 2mo

GingerAntics @ravenlee I just read a timeline of all the crazy happening over at Nano that starts in late 2022 and ends with this new AI nonsense. I‘m really thinking I‘m not doing nano anymore. I‘ll find other ways to support my writing habit. We could start a writing group here on Litsy (but maybe find a way to have a chat system somewhere). 2mo

thebacklistbook I recommend using either mastodon or Blue sky for the support chat aspect. Either one is well organized for that sort of thing. 2mo

Ready, Set, Novel!: A Writer's Workbook : Plan and Plot Your Upcoming Masterpiece | Chris Baty, Lindsey Grant, Tavia Stewart-Streit

Litsy friends! I did it! I won NanoWriMo!
This was my first time attempting NanoWriMo and I'm still pinching myself because I cannot believe I actually wrote 50k words in 30 days. Like is this real life?!

Did anyone else participate this year?!

The Return of the King: Being the Third Part of the Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien

#LotRChapterADay #FellowshipOfTolkien

I'm so behind it's not even funny 🙄
Stuck at the passage of the Grey Company, but I'm planning to dedicate the weekend to reading and writing for a change (l'm behind with #NaNoWriMo too).
Let's see how it will go.
I can't bring this book with me on commute because it's so bulky...

Clare-Dragonfly I wish you good reading and writing! I‘m doing NaNoWriMo too! And I‘m thinking a chapter a day might be too fast for this book… 12mo

BethM @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m with you- these are long weighty chapters! 12mo

JazzFeathers @Clare-Dragonfly We did a chapter a day multiple times since the group was born in 2017, and it was never a problem for me to keep up. But this year it's simply too busy for me. Hey! How is your NaNo going? I'm keep up at the mo, but let's see how it goes... 12mo

JazzFeathers @BethM Yes, they are though chapters and longish. But also so good! 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly It occurred to me that if I weren‘t trying to read so many other books at the same time it would be just fine 😂 My NaNo is going okay! I caught up on Saturday, but now I‘m behind again—I thought I‘d be able to take a chunk of time out in the afternoon to write, but couldn‘t manage it, so I just did a frantic couple hundred before bed. 12mo

JazzFeathers @Clare-Dragonfly 😂 Re: NaNo, l'm falling behind. But I'm still trying to write at least a bit every day. 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly That‘s good! Even if you don‘t make it to 50k, you‘ll have more words than you started out with! 12mo

You find yourself in a House Of Hollow. Standing in a hallway filled with dust and cobwebs, you close your eyes & tell yourself that None Of This Is True. But opening your eyes, you find you‘re still #trappedinaspookyhouse. You enter the library & look out a dirty window but can‘t see What Lies In The Woods. For Your Own Good, you decide to wait there. On a table, you find a stack of books that you hope will help you Stay Awake until help arrives.
