Any WriMo's out there?
Tersa:
I'm one of those people that has signed up, but never actually managed to do the challenge. *Sweatdrop* I'm going to this year, though! Thanks for mentioning the screenplay thing they've got going this year... I never would have known about it otherwise. I writing screenplays is actually easier for me, mostly because I love dialogue and listening to people talk, but I can't figure out how to describe what the characters are doing as they speak. I see everything going on in this perfect movie in my head, and it's hard to describe how someone's pacing around the room without having adverbs all over the place. :D

Like AA, take it one day at a time. Concentrate on writing 1667 words just for that one day. Never, never think about 50,000, even on the 29th day.
Tell yourself every day that you're writing crap. If you have to, start writing bad prose on purpose. Once things get flowing you may forget yourself and come out with something terrific! ;D
Advice from a one year participant/winner. ::)

I plan on participating this year. It'll be my first year. I'm excited. And worried. I hope that classes aren't so busy that I can't make the 50,000 word mark (but then I am taking organic chem... so i may be insane enough by the time that November hits that I'll be running without sleep).

Three-year NaNo veteran, just won for the first time last year. Not to say I've actually finished the story itself. But hey.
I am definitely participating this year. Even though it's my first year of college. Uh, yeah, this is gonna get interesting.
Opalescence:
I'm a NaNoWriMo virgin. That status will change this year though. ;)
