Not National Do Something Most Months. Basically, it’s a project where I do six NaNoWriMo or Script Frenzy type projects that last a month. Here is the schedule, whcih it would be great if you could read through as I ask for suggestions on some of them:
February: Fifty Page February-Read fifty pages every day in February. (done)
April: Script Frenzy-Write a 100 page script in one month. http://scriptfrenzy.org/
May: VEDM/Vlog Every Day in May-Do what the title says.
September: Songified September-Not totally sure about the details of this one yet. Writing a song every day, or uploading a song to YouTube every day. Something with music. What do you people think?
November: NaNoWriMo/National Novel Writing Month-Write a 50,000 word novel in one month. http://nanowrimo.org/
December: Don’t Have A Title For This One Yet/Do You Have Any Suggestions?-Try something new every day for a month.

Trying something new everyday. Foods, new movies or tv shows or magazines, hanging out with someone new, etc… I think this is a fantastic idea. We should make this a thing.

I always referred to these as my experiments, but I used to listen to one kind of music every month and see how it affected and altered my mood, and I also used to do the vlogging challenges too, with less success.

Those are both very cool ideas. I will probably do them. Thank you! :)

I actually got an idea for a 30 day writing project last night that I am trying to set up on Facebook right now. >.> (Just need some people to help me run it). I could keep you updated on its progress though, if you think you’d be interested in participating :)

DayZeroProject is a great website for finding goals. Of course, theirs is “101 things to do in 1001 days”. (There’s also an awesome “Someday” list.)

There is National Day of Silence to support LGBT people. It is where you go all day from midnight to midnight without talking. This year it is April, 20, 2012. Go to their website dayofsilence.org for more information.

I had heard of that. I might do it.

Thank you to everyone who’s given an idea. :)

You could read 50 pages for a month. I’m doing it for the whole year and it’s pretty difficult because I’m taking the time for it.

Nano is great to do, drawing, painting, vlogging, blogging, not shaving (very hard)… it’s up to you :)

That’s a very good idea. I will do it.
The other ones sound good, too.

I have made myself a schedule of the six months I will be doing things. If anyone wants to join in with my project, ask me, and I’ll tell you what the months are.

Next month will be reading 50 pages a day. Later in the year I’ll be doing Script Frenzy, vlogging daily, singing daily, NaNoWriMo, and Trying Something New every day.

I’m so gonna try to do some of this stuff. One thing I’ve always wanted to do, was find an unofficial holiday for everyday of the month, and do something to celebrate every one. Like, draw a picture, or make a vlog about it, or something… Yeah. I might try that. It’d be cool.

Every month for the next year i’m writing and creating a short film, if you have the ability to create something each month do it. :)

That’s a very cool idea.
I made a thread in order to discuss books and things for anyone who is reading fifty pages each day in February, the first of the month-long projects:

Happy reading!

Thank you. I’m glad you think so.
NoNaDoSoMoMo had now officially started with Fifty Page February! For anyone who wants to do it, this will be a place to discuss books and things:
http://yourpants.org/pantsforum/topic/fifty-page-february
Also, this is a thing I made. I talk about Fifty Page February at the end so if you want you can skip ahead slightly:

Oh… I was actually kind of confused what you were referring to… I agree, though, the short film month is a good idea.

Everyone kind of disappeared halfway through Fifty Page February… But I’ll be doing Script Frenzy as my next project. Someone already made a thread about that which is here:
http://yourpants.org/pantsforum/topic/script-frenzy
I’m doing the Young Writers Program of it ( http://ywp.scriptfrenzy.org/ ) and my username is jamesberandom, same as here.
How did Fifty Page go for you, and will you be doing Script Frenzy?

For the song one, In February I know of it being national album making month and it is like 14 songs on youtube.
It might be easier to do every other day, so you could write it one day and perform it the next, instead of writing and putting a song on youtube every day.
So 15 instead of 30 might be easier

Your VEDM should be changed to VEDA. I know you’re doing Script Frenzy this month, but VEDA could just as easily be Vlog Every Day in August.

Joshua: That would probably be better. Thank you!
Rhiannon: I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to do that because I might be going on vacation. I don’t really know. I’ll probably plan to do it then anyway, though. If I do go on vacation I’ll just move it to October.
