A Picture Paints a Thousand Words (Or More)

So I thought long and hard about how we will design this website. Okay, fine, I didn’t, since we’re obviously using the default WordPress theme. The only real designing we need for this kind of layout is the header image.

So this is where I thought long and hard. It’s been a long time since I actually did some designing, so we can say I’m really very design challenged now. So while listing all the contents of the website and designing the Pimp My Plot header (relatively easy — I just copied what a Pimp My Plot card looked during Kick-Off), I got an idea for the header of the main website.

For those who were in the kick-off in 2010, we included this little printed photos in the survival kits, which we called A Picture Paints a Thousand Words (or something similar, I’m not really sure what we used exactly). These are photos that we hoped could inspire you to include in your novel. These are random things, really, but if you’ve done NaNoWriMo before, you know how random things can be effective to the imagination and catching up with word count.

So if ever you find yourself stuck this November, just look up! At the banner of this website of course. Hit Refresh if you need more inspiration! We hope that one (or two or three or more) of the header images above can help you write a thousand words…or more. :)

Have any of these images helped you in your novel! Do share — we’d love to hear (or read) about it!

If you have photos you want to contribute (stock images, royalty free, please!), you can send it to us and you’ll be credited properly. Who knows, your photo may just help a fellow Wrimo get to 50k. :)

And…we’re live!

Well, this site has been way overdue. Hello world, pinoywrimos.com is live again!

National Novel Writing Month 2011 is just around the corner, and we figure we’d need a place where you can get information in case the site goes down (which may happen especially during peak time). This is also where you can find resources and copies of announcements, as well as pep talks in case you miss anything.

So make sure you always check back here for information, especially during November. Don’t worry, we promise not to distract you! :)

We’re also on Twitter and Facebook, so be sure to follow us there!

Ready for November? I hope so. :) Onward!!!
