I've joined. Can't wait to start, I've had all these idea buzzing around in my head lately. But of course as soon as I heard of this my mind went blank, ha ha! Oh well, I have plenty of ideas. I hope I can accomplish this considering that I don't OWN a computer an' all...

Please take a look at these and tell me what you think. Most of the chapters aren't long and I'm lacking critiques. The chapter(s) in bold are my newest ones.

I'll have to wait until later on this October before I'm sure whether or not I'll be able to do this.

I was inspired by the NaNoWriMo site to have my own self challenges, and I fully intend to participate this year.

My hand is in…
I think nanowrimo will help me because the focus is on finishing. There is no standard for quality. I get stuck on plot points. With nanowrimo the point is to write your way through the moments of uncertainty. With some luck you might end up with something good on the other side.

That's a very good point.
If I had enough time to do the things I ought to be doing, I might attempt it. But alas, I barely have enough time for sleep as it is.
Aw crap, it's nearing 1. I'll be tired for school tomorrow, or rather today...

I promised myself, once I had done this (November 2003), I would never do it again. Drats! I may break it because this sounds interesting.

I really want to do it but I know how much homework I get and I don't think I'll be able to do it.  I know I won't complete it but this may just be the thing I need to kickstart my writing. |

I'm in. It'll be year four for me, and I've yet to fail (though I did come close to failing). I've been increasingly involved with it each year too, so having WF and NaNo come together sounds like goodness to me.
I encourage everyone to give NaNoWriMo a try, no matter how much time they have to devote to it. Just trying it will be good for your writing skills.

I'll be in this one. My first one...
You said regardless of ability right?

Sign me up!
I know I haven't been here for a while, mainly because critiquecircle.com is better in every aspect except it's forum, and I haven't been there because of sheer, old-fashioned laziness.
Anyways, I'm here, and I know I can do it unless I sabotage myself (procrastination, etc.). I hope I retain my current vigor.
By the way, it seems that nanowrimo.org is having technical difficulties. I managed to sign myself up though before it went down.

I'm doing it this year.
To everyone who's in school - it is possible. I was successful in 2003 even though I hadn't planned at all, was in grad school, and had mid-terms due in November.
Word of warning: don't procrastinate! End of November is Thanksgiving so you might have family around so you won't get to write as much as you might have planned.
My only dilemma this year is to pick between writing a fantasy or literary novel...
