Picture book Nanowrimo. Who's in?

RG Spaulding

@Braden-Hallett ,
12x12challenge is to complete 12 picture book drafts in 12 months, not finished manuscripts. To be finished it probably has to go through several rounds of critiques which may not be possible in a month.

@Braden-Hallett Braden-you're always hosting the best parties here on SVS.
I'm thinking about doing Lynda Barry's book (she has a new one coming out on making comics on 11/6-but I'm thinking of starting with her Syllabus book)--which is simple drawing but more about story--so I think I'll see if I can blend that with the prompts you provide here.

I'm such a rebel when it comes to following the rules!

Meanwhile-I heard about this tool for helping generate stories-it looks intriguing.

@Braden-Hallett I'm 100% in, this is such a great idea!

I think I will give Lee's version a go, then I can flesh out any I think have potential. Hopefully I will be able to get some done in my down time at work every day! It would be helpful to have maybe a one word prompt list that people can use if they're feeling uninspired. It would be interesting to see how everyone interprets the prompts differently.

I'll be a bit late in starting this regardless, as I'm on holiday till November 3rd!

@Braden-Hallett “You can't polish a turd if there's no turd to polish ”
Can I quote you on that

Inge Permentier

@Braden-Hallett I totally accept the challenge, but in the Lee format :P. I really want to get some stories going so this will be good brainmuscle exercise! I was think of making December the month I can actually flesh out one or two of the stories written in november ^^.

Heather Boyd

@Braden-Hallett were you planning to give each word or phrase or idea for the story each day or like monthly challenges altogether? Thanks

@Heather-Boyd I think I'll post a prompt a day. That gives us some freedom to change things up (today it's a prompt someone suggested, this other day it's this crazy picture I found)

Okoodokee ladies and gents! I'll post two threads sometime tomorrow. One for resources and prompts, and one for discussion/sharing and such

It'll be interesting to see how writing 15,000 total words across 30 different ideas compares to 50,000 words!

MOO

I can write something everyday and I'm not sure how long or what form it will be but it would certainly be good for me! I'll agree to that much. Prompts or story starters could be helpful!

@Braden-Hallett waiting for the writing party to start :-). So excited. I am writng an art grands application today, I can write some more text today

braden H

@xin-li That's fantastic!

Soon as I'm done my daily drawing I'll get on it. It'll be a couple of hours or so but then it shall start!!

@xin-li I think @Braden-Hallett just likes messing with us! :face_savouring_delicious_food:

i really hope to get a prompt today but since it is getting quite late i decided on my own prompt. During my daily walk i got to admire the beautiful autumn leaves falling all around covering the ground with their warm redish-brown or yellow colours. So my prompt to myself in anticipation to @Braden-Hallett 's prompt will be: Autumn leaf. Feel free to use it too if you like

braden H

@Inge-Permentier Awesome! Very cool. I do hate the fact that we all have to work in different time zones For me it's still rather early in the day. But the first prompt's up! Hooray!

Inge Permentier

@Braden-Hallett i love how i posted exactly the same time you did XD. Maybe we can do a prompt list like inktober so people in different timezones don't get into trouble :P. However if you post everyday at this time it is doable for me at least.
