I'm going to make my personal goal to write between 1500-2000 words a day, and 2500 words on Saturday and Sunday. I think I should be able to pull that off if I designate the time. (An hour and a half in the morning and another hour and a half at night.)
Oooo, I'm getting so excited. I wish November was here already.

I've done it the past two years and have yet to finish on time. I'm in it for this year (and highly doubting I'll get it done). I'm thinking of switching my fantasy gears and writing a random/dare nano or a romance.

I'm going crazy since it's still 2 weeks before Nano starts, and I have forbidden myself to write any fiction before Nano. Aaargh. Oh well, maybe I could allow myself to do a short warmup story or something.
Nano is kind of like a special holiday for me. The feeling is a bit similar to Christmas but lasts for a whole month. I just love how everybody struggles and whines together during Nano  It's so special! |

Well, I was feeling rather unmotivated and ambivalent about nano this year until I read this thread. The enthusiasm is contagious. Now I know where to go to lift my spirits.

I have to get through the new posts on the Dares thread tonight...
November can not get here sooner. I remember last year having ny nano going in word and the forums up in explorer... maybe that is one of the reasons I did not finish.
I am so excited for this year... my novel is going to be so off the wall and ridiculous that it will be easy to reach 50,000 words.

I did NaNo last year for the first time and won, though it was really hard work because I had no clue what I was writing. I'm doing it again this year and I have a plot, so hopefully it should be easier this time.

I'm signed up and ready to go. Starting tonight by re-writing a page from a few months ago, and then working along the outline I worked up last month for the whole story.
I expect a good amount of words out tonight, nearly 0 tomorrow, and then I hope to blast out a good number of pages over the weekend, since work is going to prevent me from writing a few days this month. I need a buffer up front. :p

I am a few thousand words behind, hit a stumbling block, but wrote through it, and expect to be caught up by the end of the weekend. I love this month!

I'm 1400 words behind because of life being a pain in the ass and not allowing me the time I needed. Oh well. With tomorrow off of work and the weekend fast approaching I will make up those words in no time.
This is my first year doing it and the plot has pretty well evolved on it's own accord. I have a good grip on what happens in the first "act" of the story, but lose view after that. I'm pretty please with how well my MC is developing and presenting himself as a human being.

Take a look at NaNoWriMo.org.
That should answer most of your questions, but National Novel Writing Month is basically trying to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. |
