Novella November 2024 Announcement Post

Hate AI, but love writing challenges?

Want to take part in a global, fun project to write a Novella in one month?

Grab some friends, and take part in Novella November, by writing 1,000 words a day for the month of November, ending with a 30,000 word Novella to test and stretch your novel-writing skills!

Your goal is not perfection, but merely getting into the habit of writing a litte bit every single day :D

No website, no sign-ups -- Just a community initiative to write using only your own word!

What are the rules? Just Three so far!

#1 - No AI

#2 - No Plagiarizing

#3 - Wordcount for the month should only come from what you write during the month.

What does that mean?

Only words written during November should go towards your Wordcount for the month... but! Feel free to use your 30k words as a continuation of previous writing, or just make it the first 30k words in a longer novel!

Don't think you can write a whole entire 30k word story? Write a series of short stories that total up to 30k!

Not ready to write original works yet? Write a 30k word fanfiction that you can post after the month is over!

Share your writing experience, tips, encouragement, and questions in the #Novella November tag!

EDIT, from the tags: Want a progress tracker? Track your progress with TrackBear!

https://trackbear.app/

Don't have a word processor? Use LibreOffice , the free and open-source alternative to Microsoft Word!

Want to organize/storyboard your Novel and don't want to pay a subscription? Try 7writer by Simon Haynes!

Want to be able to listen to your story aloud for proofreading using TTS (text to speech)? Try Balabolka!

Or, create some custom progress / Goal Cards in advance you can fill out as you reach word goals! For ideas and templates, search this blog for "goal cards" :D

Want to do a writing challenge in more than just November? Check out my ideas here for year round challenges to keep you writing consistently! Got feedback? Send it in, I'd love to see everyone's ideas!

EDIT 2: I almost forgot to mention, if you are unable to write/type your story, you can also narrate/dictate your story to your preferred recording device!

If you're doing a Recording only and it doesn't automatically generate a transcript, it would obviously be hard to judge the word count -- but you're also working with a lot of obstacles, so I'd say if you're able to complete your story via voice recording from start to finish, you've definitely achieved the goal!

Edit #3: added the title "Novella November 2024 announcement post" to the top to make it more standard with my Ominous October and Drabble December posts (will be updating Outline October shortly) , added "Official Announcement Post 2024" to the tags so people can easily find the monthly events for 2024, and added a bit of bold to the third bullet point in the original post from September 2nd 2024 for emphasis.

reblog if you're a writer but would rather drink straight cyanide than show any of your family members your work

afraid to say I’m probably all of them

I’m just going to leave this here…

istg when im like 25 im gonna commission someone to make an intricate tattoo design hinting at each of the hyperfixations i’ve had

there’ll be a keith thing, a klance thing, an atsumu thing, a skts thing, a bkdk thing, an atsushi thing, a mayoi thing, a xiao thing, a hp thing, a squid thing, a miku thing, etc.

in general i dont think fandom tattoos are a bad idea but i think u need to at least give yourself like a two year buffer from the end of that piece of media before you commit. like if someone told me "yeah im obsessed with hazbin hotel rn so im gonna get a hazbin hotel tattoo" id be like woah okay maybe put a pin in that idea for later. but if someone told me "yeah i read homestuck in its prime and i still love it so im gonna get a homestuck tattoo" id be like well fair enough its been like eight years. if you still like it now you'll probably still have fond memories of it in 20 years. you do you.

FUCK THAT ONE KLANCE FIC BY DUMDUM69

us

crazy how most of us made friends on here because we were going insane about the same 2 freaks at the same time. like oh you’re up thinking about them too?

i just got such a funny fic idea if I actually get around to writing it this shit better blow up because you know it’s hella original (probably) (I hope)

To all the teenagers following me that don’t hear it from their parents: I’m proud of you.

you forgot the:

guy who is literally an encyclopedia.

guy who has an iq lower than 70.

guy who’s watched every show/movie ever.

guy who can draw the mona lisa.

guy who has none of the same interests as anyone else.

may be forgetting some

an online friend group may include:

guy who is nocturnal.

guy who goes to bed at nine pm.

guy who is inexplicably literally always online.

guy who lives on the other side of the planet.

made me think of that one old sakuatsu artist tiffy

rlly self indulgent dabihawks

erm actually its like 14 so smd

it’s so funny how I just think I’m so much better than everyone at everything

it makes my day when I see an artist/writer 10+ years older than me and I know I could do better than them it just feeds my ego

(if you want me to back up my claims of being better than a lot of people here I will absolutely do so just say the word)

100% RECCOMMEND

to breathe in this mirage by existwound

M | 24k | 2/4 | Keith/Lance

Chapter Summary:

Keith just kissed him.  Keith, his husband, just kissed him.  It was bound to happen at some point. Might as well just have gotten this over with now, right?  This was fine.  So completely fine. Fine and good and Lance was not going to probe any deeper into that tight feeling in his chest. He’s only doing what his future self would do, right? He’s playing along. Acing the husband role. And if he likes it just a little bit, that’s a fun bonus, right?  Right?

or: Lance unwillingly takes one for the team and wakes up ten years in the future.

I’m looking for someone to commission

Hello artists!! A specific image has been plaguing my mind for a few weeks, and I recently discovered it doesn’t actually exist.

I’m looking for 2 full bodies, simple pose and clothing; preferably flat color, but can go further if I like your style.

I have a basic reference image, and I’m also willing to make a simple sketch of somewhat what I’m looking for :)

If you’re interested, please either reblog or dm me with examples and prices!! But I’m also a bit tight on money so if lineart/a sketch costs more than like 15-20 dollars please just spare me thanks

oh and I dont think I need to specify this but if you cant draw anatomy I won’t commission you

oh and it’s klance if that bothers you (they are not making physical contact in any way)

I love you thank you so much

Anyone know some solo dance ap scores?

I’m making a spreadsheet of all the all perfect scores for each song and difficulty, any scores you know would be appreciated!!

'My baby my baby, you're my baby say it to me'

my honest reaction:

this lance still plagues me like the death of my firstborn

allura + lance redraww

so I found it. I remembered it being like a masterpiece but it was a DOODLE im gonna cry lmfao

HELP ME FIND THIS FANART!!!

please I can’t stop thinking about it

okay so it’s keith and lance I dont remember lance that well but maybe he was wearing a tshirt? I don’t remember

keith is in just boxers. the background is white with almost no detail (I think) and I’m pretty sure it’s flat colors but idk

I saw it a WHILE ago so my memory might be way off but I cannot find it for the love of god

its full body, keith on the left and lance on the right, the anatomy is very good
