"This is for anyone wanting to grab the 30k wordcount goal for the month of October. This would pretty much equal out to 1k a day (if you save Halloween or some other day as a no-writing day), and that is pretty easy to remember."

Welcome back, Talula - I've added you to the 30K list.
What is the strangest thing that has happened to you since GothNo 2010? Perhaps such an incident might provide fodder for your GothNo project this year?.......

I'm going to go for the 30k-my first gothic novel, but I've been entertaining an idea for some time that I'm excited to try.

Does anyone have any idea about how many pages (in a Word document) 30k is? Thanks

With standard manuscript form 1 typed page us about 250 words. 30,000/250 will give you an approximate page count.

Hi! Not much interesting happened this year that was gothic- ish lol Despite living in "a castle by the sea", not much gothic-ish happens to me either, EXCEPT for one day last week when I saw a small spider hanging from the roof of my carriage... and then I saw another one on the windchimes outside on the balcony... and then, as I walked past an aisle in a haberdashers while I was looking for some black lace ribbon, someone shrieked out loud... and then told her friend that she'd been bitten by a spider... ... this could provide some fodder for my own WIP methinks!

Belladonna It does sound rather goth! I just had a whole scene run through my head as I read what u wrote!
I'm tempted to start what I thought of for my piece. Of course that would count as October word count but I tend to forget what I want if I wait too long.

You could make notes about the ideas? Would that help? That's not considered wordcount. I still haven't any idea what I'm going to write. I have GOT to do some planning.

I'm still gathering pictures of characters and scenes. I've been really busy the last week and the last two of Sept. aren't going to be any less. So, I guess I won't be starting until October after all When I start planning too much I feel like I already wrote the story. Then I get bored with it.

Yes, I know what you mean. I don't like to plan too much either. And I finally have a project in mind to write about. A sequel to my GothNo 2008 project, Greenwood Manor.
