Maybe. I don't know for sure, yet, since I'll have 15 units next semester, and I have no idea what living situation will be... so we'll see! i would at least like to beat my pitiful showing from last year, but then again, I've never been a novel-writing person.
Maybe I could do a novel of poetry? hmm. |
Psh. I'm gonna have 17.5 units, spread throughout the day, plus a job (hopefully), plus other commitments...
You'll do it. And maybe this time we can actually meet up with people, eh? Oh... right. You're not gonna be in town anymore. Y'know, this whole "going away for college" thing sucks, lol.
Still no clue what I'm doing for NaNo2k7. |

| I am so in. I can't wait. I think I know what I'll write about. It's an idea that's been in my head for a while, so I have many months to develop it and then I can finally get it down! |

| Argh, I just have to stop myself from writing it before November! Otherwise it's writer's block. *flips calander pages* |

I'm totally planning on doing it this year.  One of the reasons I decided to do a NaNo for August on my message board is because it'll help prepare me for November. Of course, whether or not I'll have this project I'm going to use for the August one finished so I can actually do a second draft in November is another issue...I doubt I will. I guess I could try starting on book two, depending on how confident I'm feeling. o___o I didn't exactly think about that when I started the NaNo for August. XD |

Yes, I too would like to join in this year; I've never done it before and will be excited to meet others who are doing it as well.
Like Meshy, I've never been much of a novel writer, but I'll be damned if I dont try. |

I want to do it this year, but my teachers seem to club us with homework near the end of 1st sem. I think it would be fantastic to do, it's just a question of having the time and the energy.
And something to write about.  |

| Bah, Joe- that's a non-question! I did '06 sick, with a heavy load of homework and numerous commitments. When won't you have the time to write, is the question...you get pretty creative. Toilet writing, anyone? |

Toilet writing? Oh, my!
Hmmm... I may just draw out plotting for TS until November. However, my friends would probably get scared of me, writing during my lunch break and shouting "AHA!", before scribbling things down.
*has done this numerous times in/out of class* |

So... I've decided that I'm going to make time for NaNoWriMo. I realized that I'm going to college to be a writer and if college gets in the way of my writing, I've got issues... this will be good practice in finding time around schoolwork to work on my writing.
now... to decide what I'm going to write about! |

| I may or may not do NaNo this year. I can't say I failed the last two times, but I never made the 50k mark. But failure is not trying. |

Do it people! :cheers:
the TGIO parties are awesome. <3
Being scrapped for ideas on this sucks. I might take one of my flash fics or, like, "Your Coat of Arms is the Lion" and lengthen them.
Or re-write Kismet or Bubble Picture...
I use plots like other people use tissues, for cryin' out loud. XD Imaginations are such a weight when you want to stick to one story. |

I think I might do it this year, even though I just started the only novel idea I have. I think this might fall in one of my school holidays this year, so I'll consider it. Who knows, maybe I'll even finish. 
I don't suppose there's a magic place where NaNo ideas spring from? xD |
