Hey. I actually just got into this NaNo thing and I have a questions, can my November NaNo be about anything at all? And what if I don't finish my novel by the end of the month?

But, staying on topic: I am so ready. I'm excited, really. Marked my calender and I will totally be pulling an all nighter for this(:

Rena:

NaNo can be about anything yes, and there's no consequences if you don't finish. You haven't got anything to lose except 30 days of your life.
Just another quack spouting psychobabble.

John McClane: Drop it. It's the police.
Tony: You won't hurt me.
John McClane: Oh, yeah? Why not?
Tony: Because you're a policeman. There are rules for policemen.
John McClane: Yeah. That's what my captain keeps telling me

Haha, yes, I'm extremely excited! Of course, in the spirit of NaNo insanity, I just recently scrapped the plot I've been working on for about a year and essentially started over. So let the fun begin! ^^

I can't wait to start writing! No plot problems for me, fortunately. :)

This is my first year for NaNo, I think it's a pretty good way to celebrate the beginning of my 2nd year on YWS (even if it is a little late). I haven't had any plot problems but knowing my luck they'll pop up mid-November. I'm so excited, I wish November would get here already.

I'm doing nano too :D First year everrr!

However, I do want my story idea to be more quality than quantity-based, so if I come across a bump in the story, I'm not going to pull out randoms to get word count :(

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

I'm with you there. I've heard stories about how people have random happenstances occur just to pad wordcount when they get stuck. I actually had trouble fitting my whole story into a mere thirty days...

That was last year though. Who knows how it's going to go this year?

This is my first year actually trying NaNoWriMo, and I'm really excited! I usually wait till after school to write because I think of a lot of great things to add. All my characters are real angsty! Just the way I like 'em! Except I feel the need to edit all the time xD

I agree Dreamy115. Long year... *sigh* I can't believe I'd never heard of it until AFTER it ended! *sigh again* Long, long year... :(
I gave up telling people I hear voices. So now I talk to the voices instead.

I kind of had that problem last year doing it the first time, only when I came to a bump in the story, I didn't pull out some stupid ". . . and then, they were attacked by ninjas" kind of deal. It was just easier for me to do something . . . dramatic or unexpected, instead of retarded. :)

Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way.
