Choose Our NaNoWriMo Slogan! [Poll]

Update: The poll is now closed. Congratulations to “Live a little, write a lot,” the winner and Duolit’s 2011 NaNoWriMo slogan! Thanks to Sadey for creating this slogan for us — she’s also become an honorary yearly Indie Ninja!

Back at the beginning of the month, we asked our awesome readers to come up with a creative slogan to be Duolit’s theme for this year’s NaNoWriMo. Boy, did you guys come through! We got a bunch of amazing entries and want to extend a sincere “thank you” to everyone who submitted a slogan.

Alas, however, there can only be one winner. After intense deliberations over s’mores at our meeting last night, Shannon and I chose three slogans to be in contention for the big prize. Your options:

 

Voting will remain open until 6pm ET on October 28th. We’ll announce the winner (as well as introduce some cool NaNoWriMo swag featuring the winning slogan) on Halloween, October 31st!

  • I am a NaNoWriMo woman myself, and after participating in 3 Novembers and two CampNaNoWriMo, I have two novels that are Createspace published and a third that has bogged down in writing but will get there eventually, and going slowly on it fits as it is about the Oregon trail. Good luck to yo this November, whatever theme you select. I am echopandora on Nano and Duffy Barkley’s “Mom” on Blogspot

  • I wanted to write in ‘”Crush It!” on the ballet but didn’t see a place for that. 😉

    Have fun!

    Thanks for the ideas above! It’s not too soon to think about November, and NaNoWriMo now has a summer version too (June and August).

    One other note:

    During last year’s National Novel Writing Month, I took up the challenge of blogging every day, with the tag “NaNoFeed.” At the end, I had a travelogue full of ups and downs, along with excerpts, random links to relevant videos, and other fun. It was all written in the spirit of “live feed from the front” but now it looks a lot like the beginning of a nonfiction book about the writing life. A rollicking book, I might add, because the great thing about NaNo is the spirit of fun and adventure.
