    Hey all - I've never done this before, but i love reading and writing and figured why not? I used to write fanfiction (Xfiles and Buffy) but haven't done that in ages. I wrote some pretty long pieces back in the day... but I think the most was about 25,000 words for a single story. The likelihood of me completing this this year probably isn't that big, but I'll never know if I don't try. My username is the same on NaNoWriMo as it is here - accountant_boi

    :drinker:

    I think I might finally have a plot idea. Now I just have to treat it like my weight loss. I keep thinking bad things like "I don't feel passionate enough about this idea, so I probably won't follow through." I need to get that out of my head and replace it with at least "I will make an effort every day, and take it a day at a time."

    I added you as a nano buddy. I signed up today. I did it the year before last and didn't win. This year I will.

    ETA: Everyone feel free to add me as a buddy. Same name as here.

    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'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 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.
