Novel-in-a-Day 5: Go Set A NiaD

Hi Jake0, welcome to the forum! I’ve sent you a forum message with the next steps.

Peytonic, welcome back!

[size=200]TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP TO TAKE PART. [/size]

In order to get all the admin done in time, I’ll be closing the participation list at 11:59pm THIS EVENING. Last chance to encourage your friends to take part! :smiley:

I’m in, if there’s still room.

Hey Kingstonmike! yup, still taking participants until the end of the day. I’ve sent you a forum message with the next steps.

I’d like to give this a try.

I’m new to the forum, but not to Scrivener or writing. I used to blog ( lazeysdailycup.blogspot.com/ ) but I’ve neglected it for a couple years… If you need other samples of my writing I’d be willing to submit it.

Sounds like fun! Count me in.

My blog is http://pegasusspeaks.com/.

Lazey, lizcarmel, WELCOME TO NiaD! Check your forum messages with a couple of admin questions I have to get everything ready for the big day.

Just checking - I think I’m in as I’m on your list, but I haven’t seen any request for a sample this year.

Do you not need one from me 'cos I did it last year?

Yup! You’re in! :slight_smile:

For anyone hesitating over whether to sign up… you’ve only got THIRTY MINUTES LEFT.

(although I won’t get chance to look at your samples etc until the morning to confirm participation, but if you’ve signed up by midnight UK time we can do all that tomorrow morning).

Right, that’s it. [size=200]Sign up is now closed[/size] for the fifth Novel-in-a-Day event.

Our final tally is 55 participants, which means that we’ll be producing THREE different versions of the novel, and 11 of you will find your work in two versions of the finished work.

I still need an email address and pen name from a couple of you, but it’s late so I’ll chase those up tomorrow.

I’ve just returned from Mars and was hiding under a rock, so just now found out about Novel in a Day. Was soooooo excited to sign up until I noted it is closed. If anyone cancels, are you taking names on wait-lists? Another year is an awfully long time to wait… :cry:

OT: Where can I find the Scrivener project files for previous NIADs? I looked, but can’t seem to fing the right place,

KM,

Go here and click on any of the books. There you will find, among other things, the Scrivener project file for that book.

Thanks. I’d clicked another link to the books and could access them, but not the scriv. files.

If you’re having trouble opening the downloaded project, note that they’re .zip compressed. You have to right-click the file and “extract all” or whatever your OS/zip utility provides as an option. Zip files are read-only, but Scrivener must be able to write to certain files in the project when it opens.

YAY!! I’m in! Dances with joy (and slightly worried expression …) :smiley: :neutral_face:

Can I sign up in advance for the sixth Novel-in-a-Day event? Figure I might as well get it done in advance. :wink:

I am now going into genre-neutral lock down. Twenty hours and counting…

Counting down :slight_smile:

Hi,

Excited to start my first NiaD! Just want to ask, if I have questions about the material I am sent, can I ask clarifying questions or is that all I have to go on? What is the normal practice?
