Who's going to participate in NANO this year?
Sil76:
Third year trying to finish the NanoMonster ;D ;D
I look on Nano as a personal challenge that one shares with other people! The caffeinated write-ins can be so very fun, and very productive.
As far as advice for the novice NanoWriMer: literally turn off your mental editor, open your brain and let whatever comes out just flow:) And don't stress overmuch on the 50K mark, or the Nov 30 deadline -- after all, you can continue after that date if you're on a roll, or stop a lot sooner if the month starts to get too full. ;)
In any case, have fun:))
Cooper:
Im gonna try it. I do have a good idea for a novel, but with my family business, school making me depressed, and my brother putting me down. I could never do it. I think this will make me create that story that I yearned to write. Just one question, is this best for a newbie to be part of?
Another question, If i get to the 50k mark, will I have time to get it edited, and if so, where will be the best place to have it edited and critiqued?

Umm...you'll have plenty of time to get it edited....you can do that whenever you want to o_O
Rook:
I've decided to join the insanity for the first time. Meep! :-\
My main reason is to force myself to write in rough draft format. I tend to over-edit myself when I write, which leaves me with the perfect first chapter of a story that completely stalls out. I'm hoping that the time limit will help me embrace imperfection on the first go.
I must become one with the rough draft...*meditating*
See the rough draft...
Be the rough draft...
;D
Blitz:
I've done NaNo twice already, though I've never won (high school is kind of a timesuck). I'm definitely going to do it again this year--it's a great opportunity to connect with others who share the same hobby/goals I do, and I always get something done in the month, even if nobody ever sees it but me. *crosses fingers* Maybe this will be the year I get the 50K... I'm sure my AP teachers can give me no homework for four weeks...
