Title: NaNoWriMo 2015 - Because it's not like this is one of the busiest months right?

It's that time of the year again folks.

November is National Novel Writing Month. A month people set aside to attempt to write 50,000 words in 30 days. It's a marathon crash course on writing for both beginners and experts, and the setup only grows bigger every year. And it's also only five days away, so if you were entering you've probably been cringing in fear already.

If you're one of the many MotK people signing up please feel free to toss your profile up so we can collect them in this first post and others can find you as a writing buddy or just gaze upon your work from afar. And of course as always feel free to post your struggles in thread.

I actually managed to both finish and edit my work last year, and it only took 11 months! We'll see if I can speed that up this time. How about you all?

I never participated, and I don't feel like doing it because I already have too much things in progress, but I somewhat follow how people are doing and this event is quite the challenge to take on.

(http://nanowrimo.org/participants/tamashii-kanjou) As has been said many times in the past, good luck to anyone who enters~

I managed to succeed last year for the first time; it was my third time of asking. I never had the time to get everything edited after November finished, so I'm a little sad about that. So I've got some pretty solid aims this time round~ XD

here's to actually sitting down this year and getting 50,000 more words in to this goddamn story that lurks in the back of my mind and demands to be written every few months, assuming that the charms of Madrid don't distract me overmuch.

Post by: trancehime on October 29, 2015, 08:38:00 AM: I have a very important web project at work that I have to complete during the duration of NaNoWriMo.

So basically, I have to skip NaNoWriMo for NaCoWriMo - National Code Writing Month.

Good luck to those taking part this year's NaNo!!

Using this as an excuse to write some stuff on a world I built. I've been too lazy to write it all down, but I am hoping to fix that this month!

My first time participanting in NaNoWriMo. Maybe this will motivate me to write more than 500 words a month.

Post by: Alfred F. Jones on November 03, 2015, 01:30:41 AM: 7,936 words so far. Need to remember how to add that Nano widget thing to my sig so I can watch the bar fill up.

I have no idea how people can hit 50k already. I've been driving myself batty and I'm 10k words behind you. :V

Post by: Kitten4u on November 23, 2015, 08:29:43 AM: I only finished because the thought of working on it another week was driving me insane, so I wrote 5k words every day the last 4 days or so

Post by: Alfred F. Jones on November 25, 2015, 12:02:13 AM: Yeah, in between increasingly frantic apartment hunting and work I just haven't had time to write at all. Goddamn it.
