Alrighty.

For those who know what it is, you know that the time of month is slowly approaching. For those who don't, here's an explanation.

NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month.

It's an insane time of year for writers who participate. It begins November 1st and you have until November 30th at midnight to write 50,000 words. There is no prize, but you do get a novel out of it.

October 1st, today, is when you can first sign up for an account at nanowrimo.org.

The forums there are really helpful, and you can word-war with other people. For WriMo'ers, 1667 is the magic number, the amount of words you need to write every day to get 50,000 done.

I'm doing it again this year. Is anyone else? =D

I figured I'd make a topic since so many of us seem to be writers. <33

That's the whole point. 99.9 precent of people would -like- to write novel some day, but never get around to it. WriMo forces you to.

Yeah... and I actually think I've got an idea for it! Oh, the happiness. Totally off (well, mostly) from my original idea.

I am out of ideas! cry

Besides which, I really want to finish/progress in my current "novel", which which is somewhere between 26 and 37k at the moment. I think. Been too preoccupied with school, really...

I'm giving it a go this year. It'll be the first time I've done it. I'm just hoping I can find time between work and tafe and organising visas and weddings to work on it. sweatdrop

Good luck to everyone, and PLAN PLAN PLAN! Only a few weeks left.

By the way, you can post your ideas, and ask for help and stuff here. And compare word counts. <3
