Oh, wow. Already?

I always have characters, and, unfortunately, I also always have plot ideas. Why unfortunately? Because I'd need a couple of lifetimes to even put them all in proper outlines, let alone actually write the novels xP
I hope to do it this year, but I only will if I'll get my current novel finished by then - or if I get sticked (like I am now) and with too many other ideas.


~ How many times have you done NaNoWriMo? Just once before, and unfortunately it came during a wrong period of my life - so I'm about to count 2013 as my first.

~ Have you ever dropped out? Kind of - the circumstances weren't particularly friendly, so I just stopped trying after a while. Also I wrote it in a notebook, and lost the track of word counting xD

~ Have you ever printed/published the book you wrote in NaNoWriMo? Well, that would be kind of strange, seeing that I haven't written any completely :p

~ What is your username? Aria_Adams, I believe.

~ What Genre do you usually write in? Why, some sort of fantasy it is ^^

~ What is the most words you've written in a day? Frankly, no idea. But when I do get inspiration, I can do thousands.

~ In the last week of NaNoWriMo, how many words did you write? Not many - but like I said, I stopped counting.

~What do you eat while noveling? What do you drink while noveling? Eat? Drink? Oh, the occasional stuff that are supposed to keep me fueled. Tea and coffee (yes, both), chocolate and souls, as always.

~ Are you as thrilled as I am about doing NaNoWriMo again? At the moment, I truly hope it will turn up much better than the last one.

~ Are you crazy like me and start planning the novel for next year the day after NaNoWriMo ended? No - but that's because I'm working on my series and have A LOT to plot between the NaNos.

~ Will you friend me on NaNoWriMo? No, I'm lazy. But feel more than welcome to friend me ;)

If you have already thought out so much for your story then participating in Camp NaNo would be a good option. I am participating in the April one starting in one week. This is my first one but I'm sure it is lot's of fun if you are this excited.

April has GCSEs coming - November has the casual start of college. So the things stand in my world, hence no Camp for me this year :p

How many times have you done NaNoWriMo? Second, I guess. Last year I came up with a plot and everything but stuff came up (specifically my laziness) and...I guess in a way, this would be my first. ^^'

Have you ever dropped out? Yup. I was never one to NOT give in to temptation. Regrettably.

Have you ever printed/published the book you wrote in NaNoWriMo? Nope! I probably never will but someday... I'll actually finish writing a book. -.-

What is your username? aqua1213's the name! Nothing really is my game. Sigh.

What Genre do you usually write in? All sorts. Romance is big in my favorites though. Also fantasy, Sci-Fy, coming of age, action and...historical maybe? I love comedy too, so I always incorporate it in my stories. Short stories usually have tragedy in for me. Can't find any other way to end with a Big Bang, yeah? x)

What is the most words you've written in a day? I've never counted but I've bee told that I write in excess and tend to fill up a lot of pages. 20 pages probably would have been the most I ever did in a day.

In the last week of NaNoWriMo, how many words did you write? Nil! But I'll change that this year! :D
What do you eat while noveling? Granola bars! I always like something to chew on while I think so really anything chewy or crunchy.

Are you as thrilled as I am about doing NaNoWriMo again? I'm definitely looking forward to it! I hope I can get my first book done this year. x)

Are you crazy like me and start planning the novel for next year the day after NaNoWriMo ended? ...no...but I always have plots revolving around in my head so it's not like I'm totally unprepared. xD

Will you friend me on NaNoWriMo? If I remember my username and password. O.O

How many times have you done NaNoWriMo?
This will be my fourth year doing the official November Nano, but in July I tried doing Camp Nano.

Have you ever dropped out?
I dropped out of Camp Nano this year because my grandpa died a few days into July and I lost all motivation to write for a good while. I still haven't quite gotten back into it, really, but Nano always gets me excited so I'm hoping this November will help me get my groove back.

Have you ever printed/published the book you wrote in NaNoWriMo?
Not so far, mainly because I keep writing new drafts of the book I did my first year. (This year I'm doing it yet again because I decided to keep a character instead of killing him off, and it drastically changed the plot. So it's basically like a brand-new first draft.)

What is your username?
BlueAfrica. Feel free to friend me.

What Genre do you usually write in?
For Nano, fantasy/urban fantasy.

What is the most words you've written in a day?
I know I've done six or eight thousand words in a day. That would have been last year, when I was unemployed.

In the last week of NaNoWriMo, how many words did you write?
No idea. Probably not *that* much last year because I kept so well caught up early in the month that I didn't need to write as much in the last week.

What do you eat while noveling? What do you drink while noveling?
I don't eat while noveling; I read while I eat, and then I novel. What I drink changes depending on where and when I'm writing.

Are you as thrilled as I am about doing NaNoWriMo again?
YES.

Are you crazy like me and start planning the novel for next year the day after NaNoWriMo ended?
Nope. By the end of November I'm all noveled out. I usually spend December reading instead, and then around January or February I turn my eye toward editing.

Will you friend me on NaNoWriMo?
Sure :)
