    Hey all - I've signed up for Nano, under the name Denver1013. My 1st year really doing it. I signed up last year but didn't even really attempt. I'm off work for the 1st week of Nano this year which will give me good running start (and no excuses!). :blushing:

    I'll remember to add you once they bring back the buddies. Right now it's down to renovation.

    I HAVE MY STORY IDEA!!! It came to me tonight after visiting with my regional group. I wrote some notes, cracked open Scrivener and made some note cards there. YAY!!

    I'm definitely doing NaNo again this year. I've attempted it the last two years but got side tracked both times. I am determined this is going to be year! I am trying to add some of you as my writing buddies but the site is not letting me do it :( I will keep trying. My NaNo name is so_called_angel :) Feel free to add me there or here. This is my first year doing work, exercise, and writing so it'll be interesting to see how I can squeeze it all in. I know I will need some motivation and support on all fronts.

    I am wondering how a part time worker, full time student(me) is going to accomplish this! I will dominant!

    I did NaNoWriMo a few years ago, successfully. I couldn't imagine doing it while trying to lose weight, though - every spare moment in November that year was spent sitting in front of a computer, so I got very little exercise!

    So may NaNo/workout plan is this.

    Tuesday - Thursday are my classes and if I'm lucky I'll fit one in on Saturday or maybe borrow a sitter so I can jog.

    But writing will happen at work, at lunch or after bedtime. I usually read then but I think I can spare some time to write if I've finished everything else.

    So far I'm outlining what each chapter will entail (the main points) and then start working up some character descriptions.

    And as long as I'm drinking my water and logging my food, I think I should be ok.

    Have they fixed the buddies yet?

    I hope so. We're only DAYS AWAY!!! I need my buddies!!

    I had a sudden flash of brilliance for a story. I hope it sticks. I'm quite a Pantster when it comes to NaNo but I did make notes.

    i'm not sure wheather i am doing it this year or not. i have done it for the last two. the first one, i bombed it. last year, i completed 50,000 words and had a great story. this year, i don't seem to have any ideas on what to write about. :) i probably need to figure it out soon, huh?

    Didn't think I'd have it in my but my story has taken off on it's own and I'm barely keeping up :)

    I got 400 words done at the kickoff party and then went home to sleep. REALLY need to get caught up today... if I can get 3K by the end of the evening I'd be ecstatic - but I doubt that's going to happen. Haha. I had NO ideas on Monday, so I'm probably going to scrap what I've got and start over.

    I was planning on it but life got in the way so I'm hopefully going to try next year. I used to write a lot but in the last couple years I've stopped writing (and moved more onto my other hobbies like sewing and photography lol) but I'm hoping if I can force myself to do NaNoWriMo some year that it will help kick start me into writing again.
