What it says on the tin. For those who don't know, NaNoWriMo is a writing event that takes place each year in November. Basically the goal is to write 50000 words of fiction in a month. This will be my ninth year participating and I've always had a lot of fun. I was curious to see if there are any other people on here thinking of taking part. It might be fun to add a few writing buddies to my list.

Oooh thanks for the remainder! I might try it out.

Haha, nice! Let me know if you decide to join in and want a writing buddy. :)

I just signed up. It's a bit daunting. Over 1600 words per day. What if I run out?

Re-use some of them.

If a hack like JK Rowling can do it, I feel positive we can. :P

I like how you think!

Well, I have to do that anyway - but not for a novel... hmmm... I used to smash 2000 words in a couple of hours before my editor came round to pick up my submissions though - and on a zero sleep regieme...

Hmm, I might give it a go.

And Stephenie Meyer makes J.K. Rowling look like J.R.R. Tolkien or Frank Herbert.

I can't do anything creative to save my life, so probably not. :P

Wow, did you manage to complete the challenge on each occasion? I've considered it over the years but don’t really have the time.

No... I usually lack ideas and can't string a good story together... plus it would probably end up as smut...

All right, in case anyone wants to add me, this is my profile. I can write fiction pretty quickly. If I'm at a good speed 1000 words takes me about twenty minutes. Mind you, that is working with an outline and keeping in mind that it's just a first draft. I certainly don't write that quickly for my essays. :P

Haha, well it might be a fun challenge, even if you don't make it to 50000. :P

All except the very first year. I was still getting used to things then and I hadn't yet figured out that I was a planning kind of person who does better with an outline. :) This November is going to be my busiest yet as I have several difficult classes and I have to make preparations for my master's dissertation, but we'll see how it goes.

Well, there is a plot adoption forum on the site. :P And nothing wrong with some good smut, is there? ;)
