This is for those of you who would love to join in but also have a lot on your plate in October, or simply want a nice introduction to gothic literature. It's still a worthy goal, I think, especially if you know nothing of the genre. Plus, I believe that many gothic novels were quite short. However, they were still quite good! So join here if you want the 20k goal! 20k NovellaBelladonna hodudududuh diadracena Saraness Dede jackeytorrence pommerougedarling jbdrake Lily Munster unholyconfessions pseudonym themidnightrunner Okami Ameras muchadoabouthim mikachavanelle

I'm going to try this one. I haven't written in the gothic genre before so 20K sounds just right to me!
Short but eerie. That's what I'm aiming for.

As I probably won't have much time to be writing in October, assuming I have any at all, this will be my goal. Tentatively.

I'm new to the gothic novel as well, so I believe I'll start small with the 20,000. That should give me more time to work out the parts with which I'm not familiar.

I'm new to the genre, and I think NaNo will be my main focus, anyway (since, you know, it's NaNo). I thought this just sounded super awesome, and I think writing a 20k novella would be a good warmup to NaNo and a good way to test out the genre a bit. That, and I have no clue what my schedule is going to be like, so I think it would be good to low for October, which is usually a busier month than November for me anyway. But I love the idea I have for this, so I'll probably expand it in a second draft after this and NaNo are over.

I actually studied Gothic literature last year, so it would be nice to think that I have a basic understanding of it. Nice, but highly unlikely I stumbled across GothNoWriMo on one of the NaNoWriMo forums, and just thought the idea was awesome I think I'm going to try for 20,000 **crosses fingers and hopes for the best**

I barely have any time to write in October, so I think I'll go for this one. I hope it turns out well; I've never written gothic before.

I've never written any kind of Gothic lit so I'll start small, like most other people on this page... 20,000 sounds achievable, seeing as I'll be very busy in October.

I'm going for 20k.
I would like to add more gothic elements to my other work, and this could be a nice experiment. Plus, it would be a warm up for NaNo.

Alrighty!
Ok... I think I'm adding myself to this list too. Though who knows if I'll change my mind later.

Wasn't planning on writing in October, so I'll go for the gentler side of things with 20k. [: Yay!

20k sounds good to me. I've never written anything Gothic before. I'm hoping it will be a nice little warm-up before the crazyness that is NaNo

I don't intend to finish this month, but i would like to start. So I think this is a good goal for me.
