Anyone else in on the action next month? >D My writing class is gearing up for it next class - I'm ready for anything!

I've never been in NaNo before, but I've been wanting to try... I don't know how many words I'm gonna shoot for yet, because I haven't attempted a storyline in such a long time, haha.

My attempts had always been epic failures. I usually give up >_>. Last yar I ended with about 630 words. D:

I've been doing it every year since 2004, and won in every year except 2004 (keyboard was against me...) I'll be doing it again this year.

Haven't even done any planning yet... sigh...

I'll do that! I'm going to have a lot of garbage to sift through... xDD

@Kyarorain: Woah, that's a lot of words...

Good luck then xDD

(Ah-haha. I usually run low on ideas or just simply turn the story into something stupid near middle of November >_> resulting in the termination of the fic a few days later.)

I am planning to do it this year! :) I failed last year; I didn't even bother counting all my words after 2k. I write all of mine in a notebook; not the best idea since it already was...I don't know, twenty pages of writing? But still, I'm planning on entering again; however, I probably will fail miserably. :) I'm idea less.

Um, just out of interest, what is NaNo? Aside from some kind of writing competition...it sounds interesting, that's why I want to know.

You have to write 50k words in the entire month of November, and then you submit. Well, at least I think that it is 50k, I don't remember. But yeah, and I heard that you can win prizes or something if you reach the goal.

The official site is www.nanowrimo.org I believe....National November Writing Month.

It's supposed to be fun. :)

Here's a link that can help you press your brain for more words, lol.

Heh, I need an idea, not words, my freund. Besides, I have a dictionary/thesaurus book can look at for words. :)

I probably said it wrong, haha. xD I meant to say that it's a link you can go to, to pressure yourself into typing whatever idea comes around. You get punished if you aren't constantly typing something. :o
