I've been thinking about doing this for years, but school or work or something always got in my way. Since my schedule is more regular now, I'm diving
in and giving it a try. I'm still working on my story outline and I don't have a title yet.
My name is the same as it is on here...springyhair |

I'm going to add all of you who posted your names on there.
It's exciting to have NaNo friends!

Go for it!
We should use this post during the writing just to make sure we're all writing and haven't done the whole, "Eh, I'll do it tomorrow," thing!
I can't seem to add buddies right now.  I have to Google but some
names aren't coming up. I think it does this sometimes when traffic is high. Boo.

You don't actually post your novel anywhere unless you want to. It's more just to satisfy the self!

Good because Im not good at this stuff. No need to humiliated in such a public manner.
This is definitely cheaper than therapy. |

If you guys want another buddy, I'm solaceinwords WOO! I'm excited! |

NaNo sent out the best advice evah!
Do not edit as you go. Editing is for December. Think of November as an experiment in pure output. Even if it's hard at first, leave ugly prose and poorly written passages on the page to be cleaned up later. Your inner editor will be very grumpy about this, but your inner editor is a nitpicky jerk who foolishly believes that it is possible to write a brilliant first draft if you write it slowly enough. Tell everyone you know that you're writing a novel in November. This will pay big dividends in Week Two, when the only thing keeping you from quitting is the fear of looking pathetic in front of all the people who've had to hear about your novel for the past month. Seriously. Email them now about your awesome new book. The looming specter of personal humiliation is a very reliable muse. |
