NaNo?

Is anyone else around here doing NaNoWriMo this year? I'm all signed up -- if you want to be NaNo buddies, I'm here on the NaNo site.

I've done NaNo a few times, only won once so far. The years I didn't participate, I was already working on a novel when November rolled around, and I was pretty sure I didn't have 50K words left. I didn't want to stop to start a new one for fear I'd lose my momentum on the old one. If I'm basically free, though, I'll jump into the NaNo pool, mainly because it's fun, but also because I've found that even in the years I don't win -- and I've had some pretty spectacular crash-and-burn experiences -- I learn something about myself and my writing. That's always valuable.

Anyone else in?

I'll answer by saying: NAW NO

Charles -- I'll think of you kicking back when I'm frantically trying to make goal by midnight. :D

My husband is in. He did it once before. Good luck to you and Happy Oogie Boogie Day.

We're already NaNo buddies, so I think you know my answer. *grin*

Angie said...

Suzan -- yep. :D And I got a nice chunk done before I went to bed last night. Or this morning, or whenever it was. [laugh/flail/yawn]
