Haha, recrossed with you Squidge. Yeah, why not? Let’s buddy up

@squidge They’re a lot more relaxed these days about what qualifies – it’s pretty much 50k words of anything. I just find the discipline it gives useful over the course of a month

HA! Just crossed with Daeds – Daeds, shall we form a novel finishing club?!!

Squidge replied to the topic NaNoWriMo in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years, 6 months ago
Is there a version for NaNoFiMo? (National Novel Finishing Month) I really must get moving on the WIP, but I’ve stalled with everything else going on and I cannot get motivated to write at all. Keep knitting instead…

I might do it but cheat and use it to finish the draft of my WIP plus a novella and some shorts

I still haven’t done the challenge you set me on Fb, so the chance of me writing 50,0000000 words in the space of a month is quite slim 🙂

I know it doesn’t work in quite the same way, but *Bump*

The first and last feel very children’s story to me.
AngGalina looks as if the capital G is a typo (though oddly, AnGal does not give me that impression).
An Galina doesn’t give me anything really to go on, though it still feels YA for some reason.

Without any explanation those titles don’t say anything to me apart that it might be the MC’s name or the name of the place where the story takes place. Because it is not a recognisable name I would imagine it is a fantasy novel.

Squidge replied to the topic Opinion about title in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years, 6 months ago
I wouldn’t have said that any of them give any indication as to the target readership. I’d just assume it was an unusual character name, with possibly a hint of sci-fi, but it doesn’t give anything away about the story.

AnGal sounds like dystopian specfic YA to me. Of the others the first and last have s more generic feel – they just give me a kids/YA vibe – while the other two hint more at speculative, maybe darker. All of them feel kids/YA I think.

Without any other information I would assume the title was the name of the MC (or just possibly an invented country) and guess that it was YA or children’s fairy story or fantasy

Seagreen replied to the topic Opinion about title in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years, 6 months ago
It’s a toss-up between a children’s picture book and the ‘unofficial’ biography of a Hollywood A-lister.
-
Athelstone replied to the topic Opinion about title in the forum The Writers' Lifeboat 7 years, 6 months ago
Without any other information, I’d probably guess at a YA novel.

Listening to an old Jimmy Buffett album. Doesn’t have the same impact it did when listening to it lying on the deck of my boat with a glass of rum in my hand, swinging to the anchor in a Caribbean bay.

I’m living on me nerves, so I am, wondering where the next comp entry is coming from… I know there’s one out there. I can feel it, see?
And it scares me. -

Off Down Under for a few weeks – back back end of November. Lots of rooms, and a train, with lots of views. All writing longhand.
