Thread: Anyone trying this year?

I'll be doing it again this year too. If you want to add me as a buddy, just do a search for Selorian on the NaNo site.

I think for me it would probably be good to just write and see what happens. I block myself completely by constantly critisizing what I do. I would to have you as a buddy. What does that mean though? What do you do for each other?

Basically buddies just offer moral support to each other throughout the month. Once you sign up there will be a section to add buddies in your profile/account information section. Add people there.

Yeah I have added you

So how do you do it? Do you think it out before or just wing it?

I've done both. This year I have my idea and I want to plan some, but haven't done it yet. If I don't get the chance I'll just let it come to me as I write.

Alright sounds good. Have you finished it before? I understand that is quite hard to do. And did it give you something to work with after? Something good?

Oh I could use all the moral support I can get (and will give it ofcourse). Anyone else that I could have the honor of adding?

I'm doing NaNoWriMo for the first time this year. I'm excited.

Me too. Do you want to be buddies?

You can add me, Mystique. I'm Snapdragon on there.

Thank you. I will do that.

Certainly, certainly. I'm Detention Veteran on ze NaNoWriMo site, as well.

I will do, thanks

Well, it looks like I'm going to be doing NaNoWriMo again this year. I have no clue what I'm going to write, but I'm going to do it. It seems like I've already written out and have extensive notes and anywhere between 10,000 words to 20,000 already started on each. So, I don't want to pick up something I've already started on. And I can't seem to be able to come up with something new, because my idea well is drying up on me.

But, I know I'll pull through last second and end up putting something together. I just hope the Muse doesn't take over as much as it did last year, and that I can actually get my required amount of sleep next month. 60,000 words in a day and a half was bloddy torture!

Taking the dreaded plunge.[-o<

And, on the site, this is of particular interest if anyone wants to help this writer out. I think it's a cool idea:
Can You Please Help Me .... NaNo Project Help!! | National Novel Writing Month

Best of luck all.

This year will be the 2nd year I'm participating. This year's novel will be written in Dutch (my first language). I'm so excited. I can't wait to get started!

In het Nederlands heel cool. Ik doe ook mee deze keer. Het is mijn eerste keer. Veel succes.
