I've added the usernames I could find to my buddy list. Anyone who wants to can find me under this handle.

Ok, thought this might be a cool thing to try...
Question is... how do I register? (lol, probably sound like a moron  )

It's easy. Go here: National Novel Writing Month. Click 'sign up'. I imagine you can figure it out from there. |

I followed Moderan's example and added some names to my buddy list - if anyone doesn't want to be on it...tough!!
Nah, only kidding - pm me and I'll take your name off

I could be wrong, but I don't believe the buddy system works mutually. I mean, like if I add you to my list, it doesn't automatically put me on yours or notify me or anything. I'm not sure about that though.
In either case, I added both you and moderan.

Hoho...and lots more forums to waste time on. I'm having a hard time sitting on the thing. Have spent two months planning, researching, and plotting the novel. Another month reading related literature (dystopian and cyberpunk sf). I'm getting ready now for National Album Writing Month, which I haven't done before either but should be easy by comparison.
Sir Twilight, definitely come find me when you've gotten joined up

Cool. It looks like you're right and there needs to be a manual add to make it mutual. Good luck and good writing to everyone

Actually, Moderan, you were the first person i found. I added you as a buddy, btw. The handle I picked is Sir_Twilight... they didn't allow my space, lol. Still looking for others. Thanks guys for leading me to it.
I think I'm going to do a gritty fantasy novel, got most of it plotted out already. Was going to start working on it now, but I can wait until Nov.

Cool. I subscribed. And added some people to my buddy-list.
For those who don't really know how big NaNo has gotten over the past 10 years:
Quote:

NaNoWriMo 2007 ended up being ginormous; we crossed the 100,000-author mark for the first time.
|
Wow.
Years
1 - 21 authors
2 - 140 authors
3 - 5000 authors
4 - 14,000 authors
5 - 25,000 authors
6 - 42,000 authors (Including me!)
7 - Not sure
8 - 87,000 authors
9 - 100,000 authors!
It's come a long way from those first 21 people scratching out their novels.
Oh, and just for fun...and possibly inspiration:

The news from the publishing front was similarly bountiful. We were up to 13 manuscripts sold at that point, when we heard about Sara Gruen. Sara had been one of the first participants to sell her NaNoWriMo manuscript, and had since written another NaNoWriMo novel that had become a bestseller, Water For Elephants. When her new project went out for auction in the fall of '06, she landed a reported $5.2 million, two-book deal. How did she celebrate? She sat down and wrote another book for NaNoWriMo.

Thanks, T. I've added you, Lilacstarflower, and moderan to my buddy list. Y'all keep in touch when this thing gets going.
Has anybody done much planning? I have a 'sort-of' outline, but don't know how it will end!

I bet the forum here will be a lot quieter in November!
I also have a bunch of buddies from Associated Content writing NaNo this year.
No pressure to finish, huh? I'd hate to let down 2 of my favorite groups!
