NaNoWriMo warning.... it is almost October
Kali:
My only advice is not to care about the quality of what you're putting down. Just get it down. You can chop, correct, explain, and shift things around later to your heart's content, but if it has to be the right words in just the right order, you'll have trouble with NaNo.
KevinEvans:
The NaNo site has been reset!
Go forth and have fun.
Regards,
Kevin

Who's still in, and how you do on Day 1?
I did not, in fact, work on the WIP. I had three ideas, and didn't decide until I sat down to write on Nov. 1 which one I was doing. 3k in after Day 1, and just happy to have a little buffer. I organized a write-in and had about 7 people there, which was awesome. I'm also starting to plan a lock-in write-in for the last Friday in the month. I'll hafta talk to a couple of local libraries to see if they'll allow it there. If not, there are some friends-of-friends I can talk to about hosting it at their places of business.

I'm in again this year. Day 1: 1805 including a 1000 word rush at midnight at a write-in in Redmond attended by 160 people, all of which got over 1000 words in 2 hours.
My novel last year fell apart because I ran out of creative steam. This year I have the whole thing outlined so I can jump around and at the very least I will get 50,000 words even if they are not in chronological order.
My story this year is technically a Science Fantasy Adventure called Support Your Local Dungeon Crawler! Gunslinging Rangers, Magic-Users with Wi-Fi access, a mute Magi-Tech bipedal-Tank Pilot and a Mercenary Cleric who says the 3 things you never want to hear a Cleric say....in the same chapter. ;D

Very interesting concept you've got there. I'm currently sitting at around 3000 words, but with all this stress from college I don't know if I'll get much done.
