I didn't do much looking, but found an interesting one we could all try.
Write a 26 sentence story with each sentence starting with a successive letter of the alphabet."Dance until your feet hurt. Sing until your lungs hurt. Act until you're William Hurt." - Phil Dunphy ("Modern Family"), from Phil's-osophy.

Hmm, that sounds interesting, possibly leading to a chaotic story, lol.WARNING!!! WARNING!!! DO NOT VIEW THIS SPOILER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Interesting idea. It could be something to start in the Sharing Your Work subforum, perhaps, or on a dedicated thread. I wouldn't know where to begin on the 26 sentence challenge, though.
Well, "A" I guess...
Another site I occasionally haunt has a subforum for writing challenges. The monthly challenges often see a lot of forum activity.

I'll see if my twisted little mind can come up with something in the meantime.The home of your least humble servant, Mr Poll: http://lucianpoll.com

I'm definitely going to give NaNo another go this year. I completely failed last year to make any significant progress because November is a beast of a month at my work. Hope to do better this year. Anyone doing the Camp NaNo in July? I'm thinking about giving it a shot for a longer Novella that has been brewing for a while. Kinda like a warmup for November.

Wow, no posts here in a while, lol!
I ended up not doing Camp NaNo in July due to other things getting in the way, but oh well. Right now I am patiently for October to begin so I can add this year's novel to my page. In the meantime I still have to do more prep work for my story, including research. I have a crapload of pages bookmarked just for that purpose though.
So what have the rest of the NaNoers been doing to prepare for their stories? Anything? Nothing?WARNING!!! WARNING!!! DO NOT VIEW THIS SPOILER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Reading, researching and outlining, though not as much as I'd like, and not as much as I did for The Floors. I've been having fun creating my main character and supporting cast, though, and I have a cool finale in mind. This year's NaNo could be a story I pants more than plan, which could be interesting. Or a disaster.The home of your least humble servant, Mr Poll: http://lucianpoll.com

I'm a natural pantser, so doing planning won't be easy. I think I am going to take some advice I found on the NaNoWriMo website when it comes to research though http://blog.nanowrimo.org/post/62067...ent-1057439806WARNING!!! WARNING!!! DO NOT VIEW THIS SPOILER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

There might be a few passages in my first draft that read "beef this up in the second draft". I can already sense Future Me's incandescent fury at finding them.The home of your least humble servant, Mr Poll: http://lucianpoll.com

lol, well that will just add to the word count that you accrue! I know I plan to have a trash folder in my Scrivener project file where I will keep a copy of all my typing from forums and Facebook and such. This is to have just in case I find myself struggling and will be removed if I find I don't need it.WARNING!!! WARNING!!! DO NOT VIEW THIS SPOILER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
