I would like a 10K goal, since it's so close to Nanowrimo, but I'm definitely going to try to get a higher count in the end. ;D

I'd like a 25,000 word count goal since this is my first time doing GothNoWriMo.

Yes, thank you. Sorry for posting twice, I saw this page after the 20K one. Sorry about that.

This looked very smart, so I'll use it if my jumps don't seem a little unreal. I'm an avid writer Danke ~kadi~

Not notes, more like this: GothNoWriMo2010 (excerpt follows) The Thinker Doves chirped, snowy white feathers fluttered about; males were cooing at the females, pluming up and widening their underthroats, showing off. Robert did not really care. He could hear them. He could see them. He could feel them, bathing inside a water fountain and mating – the same dance ever and ever, only the participants growing ever more annoying and changing – over his head. The water running out of the faucets. (no comments on my grammar and style, though) How does that look like? And oh yes, it can get very crappy. The one I posted is rather OK. Be well, Xiri I think it's okay, as long as you don't count those actual notes in the final result. Unless that is how your story is actually meant to look... which, I sort of doubt! But, if you want to, for my OTHER nano novel, I just had a seperate document open with a page or two of notes on what I would write next. So I'd just flip to that page and erase or cross out the notes from whatever I'd just written in the real document. You can do that, too, if you're worried about it being fair.

So I'd just flip to that page and erase or cross out the notes from whatever I'd just written in the real document. You can do that, too, if you're worried about it being fair. I assume you may be mistaken: I do have a separate document for notes. SO far my "outline" of sketches looks like this (spelling corrected, + next to a word or title means it was already written): Sketches: 1) The dying + / The blood glass blade 2) Tooo-r...ment. + 3) Redeem me by burial, dear brother 4) Woman / Water / Town – shed 5) The Bat 6) The gaze of a Tarantula 7) The thinker + 8) Kadish 9) The last goodbye / Sayonara 10) The unlikely camaraderie of breath 11) Elixir of life and wonders + 12) Irish Eyes + 13) The hunt for the prophet + 14) Blow – mental – pop + 15) The Veiled Lady + 16) The Rendering + 17) The afterver (after 10th?) 18) The House + 19) The Poe man + 20) Dark letters + 21) Whispers + 22) Memories forgotten + 23) Blood cost + 24) The Botanica + 25) The family lunch + 26) The Zhou Kin gift + 27) Demon's Eyes + 28) The Gospel + 29) Deliverance / Guidance + 30) The Dust + 31) The hell / heavenly fire + 32) Hell knoweth no fury + 33) The rent / guilt + 34) Chastity / Temptation / Seduction 35) The rose of Bethlehem P.S. The sketches themselves vary from about 1k to more, as far as the word count goes I certainly am hoping to rewrite this mess - a lot - if it ever gets finished. And by no means those are listed in order. Let me exemplify the structure of the story by providing this sample text - this is "not" taken from the story itself. GothNoWriMo 2010 novel's title goes here
Sketch 1
Here begins the story, and the very first sketch. It may run up to 500 or more words - or less, if I am really lazy.
***
The asterisks usually mark a shift of POV or something else, if it makes sense.
***
Sketch 2
Preferably, this shall be of the same length or longer than the previous, and in the context, provide the story with further plot. And be coherent.
And so, it shall continue until the end, hopefully, where no more asterisks will be needed! Hopefully, the sketches' titles also make sense both in the context and remain true to the story itself.Be well, Xiri

How about this~ In the end, when your novel is finished (or at your word goal), only leave in the document words that you would consider an actual part of the story. Were you to publish it, would those words be the rough draft of your novel? Any words that count as actually being a true part of your novel (however crappily written they may appear to be) and that you have written during October, would count as words you've written for your story for gothnowrimo.

I need to change my wordcount goal from the 80k I originally wanted to the 10k I know I'm going to be able to do. >.< stupid computer crashes.
