SOOOoo...I got the idea from The Jester's Daughter's song Silas. She wrote about one of her novel chars and I was thinking a challenge could be about one of our characters or about our plot. Who's with me and willing to try?

My most recent NaNo novel (Dirty Pop) is about a former DisneyPop singer who lost her voice but then "pulls an Alanis" and goes punk (or at least punk-pop) when she regains it. I should start writing the songs from the novel, some of which are actually half-written in the novel itself. I was planning to do this during 50/90 last year, but once again I got stuck struggling with my '07 NaNo (Bad Company: A Corporate Horror Story, in which a Blackwater-type mercenary corporation invades America to keep that black liberal guy from becoming president), so my muse went back into fetal position...

That'd be pretty cool. My NaNo novel is about Costa Rica and the characters are largely based on people that I've actually met in Costa, which is pretty much all I ever think about, so I think that's a cool idea. I won't write about my MC because she's basically me with a different name, but I might write about Alejandro (second character) because he's quite interesting and he's basically a conglomeration of all my best friends from Costa. Or I might write about Orejas the kitten, just because he's so lovable

if you want to find out what a NaNo is or what NaNoWrimo is check out this site----> http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node but if you have ever tried to write a novel (or English paper) you could use that too. It doesn't just apply to NaNoWriMo

What! I've been around nearly 300 years, I've written hundreds of novels in my time chronicling all sorts of adventures and mayhem.

I'm surprised I've never heard of this!

I'll see you all there then in a few months, shan't I! BUAHARHARHARRRR!

Hmm. I wrote about a sasquatch for NaNoWriMo. That would be an interesting song, methinks...

I wrote a two-part novel (The Obald), half set in 1983 and half set in 2013. It was a love triangle story involving time travel, government surveillance, and a lost album. I got a proof of the second draft printed by CreateSpace, but I haven't got around to revising it yet.

Oh, that's a nice idea! I wrote about a bi girl from California talking about politics, sex, and drugs. I could write from her perspective.

I should finish this song though!

Last november my story was a fantasy and revolved around lots of action, wacky characters, fighting, humour and conspiracy; I loved it. Very willing to give that challenge a go

i wrote a song about NaNo in general, and specifically the process of swapping my novel with some who is incredibly talented.

I did the challenge: http://fawm.org/songs/2732/ and a ballad to NaNoWriMo: http://fawm.org/songs/2730/

I might have to try this one. My novel was called "Burning Sheep" and it basically chronicaled a pretty standard relationship, you know, boy meets girl, boy and girl create hit list, boy kills many people on list, boy kills himself, girl is all depressed and drops out of school.... The end. How touching.

My first song was inspired by two of my characters in my NaNo. Although the plot of the song doesn't have anything to do with the plot of my book.

I think I'll think up another one...

Last FAWM I did an acoustic ode to NaNoWriMo madness (The Plotbunny Song) and a Casiopunk ode to writer's block (Stayed Up Too Late). I'll get the first rerecorded and both re-uploaded, and then I'll post the links here. And then I'll write a new song something on the order of: What kind of end theme should the movie adaptation of Bad Company have?
Emma 1 month ago

I...Almost did Nano. Ended up not because I had so much other stuff I was doing. This may be my year though, it just might.

And talk about a challenge! I can whip up 14 song in 28 days but Nano kind of intimidates me.

I love this idea...I sorta had a song written in my novel, but it was a 'purple prose' song (aka I needed words so I had one character teach the other a song *slowly* and with much repetition. And then they performed it. Anyways....) I was thinking of doing a song about my characters, but from a later time so I can mess with the details. Thanks for the idea!

Hey, this is actually perfect! I wrote a Nanonovel that involved music. I could probably come up with something for it.

My NaNovel was steampunk. This should be interesting.

I had already planned to do this. I saw someone else who used the same tag as me (character) and found this thread. Cool!

HEY WHOA did someone say NaNoWriMo?

If only I knew what to write about. My novel's all over the place.

(Actually, to be honest, I never finished it. Oh, I got the 50k words and all, but the story is far from over .So. Many. Plotholes! D: ) I might write a song about my favorite character from my book, though. He's a horse/unicorn.

Next month is NaNoEdMo. I couldn't finish Bad Company last month during JanNoWriMo because of writer's block, and I don't do FebNoWriMo because of FAWM. Next month I'm getting BadCo finished during EdMo. Before then, while FAWM's still going, I want to get that movie end theme written and hopefully recorded.

leopluradon 3 weeks ago

Haha, my NaNoWrimo novel was an intense plot weaving story I don't think I'd be able to fit everything in one song
lefty013 3 weeks ago

So we have writing about your NaNo covered... how about writing about your Screnzy? I'm already planning to write a musical this April and use as many of my FAWM songs as possible.
heavyhedonist 3 weeks ago

@lefty-- that's what my project this FAWM is-- writing songs for this upcoming screnzy's screenplay... great minds, eh?
misteloctober 3 weeks ago

I think I'm going to write Screnzy first and then write the songs for it during 50/90... Or maybe I'll write my Screnzy to fit my songs.

Here's my NaNo song, from the POV of my MC's best friend.

Dennis Jernberg 2 weeks ago

50/90 -- of course! I'm still going to finish the lyrics to the Black Science end theme before FAWM is out, and I still have yet to do the Bad Company end theme, which I also want to do this month. (I'm thinking of something on the order of the songs the Wachowskis put at the end of the Matrix films, like say Rage Against The Machine *plus* Marilyn Manson, etc.). All the songs in Dirty Pop (NaNo '09), though, I'm writing during 50/90. And FAWM, NaNo, and 50/90 actually play a role in the plot...

(Note: Black Science = NaNo '06/Screnzy '10)

Titular (http://muse.fawm.org/titular) just gave me the song title: "nano on you"
Hope it's relevant...
