Well, I've gone and done it this year: I will officially be doing Nanowrimo.

I must be nuts.

Good luck! When does it start? I was contemplating signing up this year but...*shrug*

Sign up is now; the actual writing begins at midnight (or maybe not!) on November 1st.

But I have no ideas, and November will be really busy and...I'll stop making excuses now, shall I?

www.nanowrimo.org - basically, write a 50,000 word novel in a month.

Hope you are inspired and it all flows nicely! Already knew the latter *g*

I am inspired and I have a plan. This is promising. WHat's slightly less promising is that I'm out of the country for the first week of November! Still, I do have gagets to get round this minor issue...

I've joined in the madness... I said I'd do it last year... but as we know RL has a way of giving you a swift kick when you least expect it.

Welcome to the madness Ray. You've done it before haven't you? I haven't and I am wondering what I have let myself in for.

I did it unofficially last year - as a means of trying to motivate myself into getting things finished, but it didn't work out too well...

As for what you're letting yourself in for, it's actually, only a target of about 1650 words per day. As long as you've got a strong idea and plenty of inspiration, you'll be fine :)

Or I could just write 4 sides of drivel each day!

I do have an idea, based on a Blyton character actually. Need to plot a bit more and do some research into dates and times.

That's actually the beauty of NaNoWriMo, the *what* you write is not so important as how much of it you do *grin*

It's a gigantic writing exercise - and if you write drivel, well as long as you get to 50,000 words, you've done it. (Though I think it does have to be semi-coherent, rather than just 50,000 repetitions of the same word!)

The Blyton plot bunny sounds interesting, though. Mine's looking at being an EBD fill in-ish thing.
