Y'know what?

I just don't have the stamina for NaNoWriMo. 50,000 words? In a month? That's a lot.

And I'm sick of not having anything to participate in. So, this month, I give you: NaHaWriMo. Yes, National Haiku Writing Month. Seventeen syllables. Thirty days. Can you handle the pressure? *makes dramatic music noises*

Except that's kinda wussy, so maybe it'll be one haiku a day for the... um... rest of the month? Hm. *gets to work*

NaNoWriMo's here.
But I don't wanna do it.
Hence: NaHaWriMo.

*sweatdrop*

That was hard! But fun! Tune in tomorrow for the next thrilling installation in: NaHaWriMo! (Assuming I can keep up the frenetic pace in this fast world of haiku!)

Edit: In all seriousness, I'm considering doing plain poetry every day at this time next year. Because I can. Doesn't have to be haiku.

Where's the fun in that?

*shrugs* It's a writing thing, I suppose. It's not my thing, but I feel bad not having any goals to post gleefully about.

Have you been reading Jen(shenya)'s writings? It's good

[joeymew.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good plan
But I'm already one short
Late start already

But seriously
Haikus are easy for me
Oh noes I can't stop!

[conuly]

Right! I need another! Um...

Haiku writing month.
Does it sound silly to you?
Novels are boring.

Heh heh heh

This made me laugh hard
I rather like the idea
It might just catch on

Link to this in your journal, and I'll start asking people to make me simple graphics.

Could that be a threat?
Alas, I have not linked yet
But made some icons.

Sorry, I was feeling rather silly. Here they are: NaHaWriMo #1 (http://pics.livejournal.com/masterflare421/pic/0000pks9) and NaHaWriMo #2 (http://pics.livejournal.com/masterflare421/pic/0000qtyr). I would have animated them together, but I spent most of the day researching pixel fonts.

That's a good idea, actually. I'm going to take you up on that and try a haiku per day this month. But I know it's going to be SO DIFFICULT because I couldn't even manage to get the first two sentences of this comment into a good haiku. :P

There was a young man from Japan
Whose meter just never would scan!
When told this was so
He said "Yes, I know"
But I always try to get as many words in the last line as I possibly can!

(Not a haiku, nor yet an original work. Sorry)

Heh. I'm amused by this. In all hoesty, I've gotten a late start but I think I'll challenge myself by writing a short story a week instead of a novel, or a poem every two days, or something else that will involve creativity but will not create a commitment that will make me fail my classes.

I suck at haiku, but I remember a site I saw once that was nothing but haiku about cats.

And, of course, all the infamous Microsoft haiku.

(I promise I can count today.)

[feathered.livejournal.com]

The cat haikus are cute. I don't know the site where they're online, either, but one of the other designers at my icon community made a fabulous set of icons using them (http://www.livejournal.com/community/obsessiveicons/118718.html#cutid1).

Oh, finally someone who's *not* doing NaNoWriMo!

[prezzey.livejournal.com]

My version:
In September I made 9 full colour pages of comic all by myself (and October was 4 solid weeks of Jewish holidays), so I'm not sure I'm ready to take on another Big Accomplishment, especially when I should be 1. writing a research paper 2. run Teh Experiment in Teh Lab. Oy vey! But I still need to write 'cause 1. it's fun 2. it gets me money. So I've decided I'd write a novelette or novella or something instead of doing a full Nano novel.

NaHaWriMo also sounds like fun ;]

[kynn.livejournal.com]

I'm okay with that.
Better than Nanowrimo.
And more fun, also!
