Considering NaNoWriMo is in November every year, I'm probably really jumping forward in time here, but I'm curious as to how many MFPers are also NaNoers. I know you're out there; I just didn't want to revive dead topics from previous years. :D

(For those who don't know, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, and it happens every year in November. You write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. Simple as that...! pfft...)

I'd also like to create a group, because gah, I can barely concentrate on a novel and schoolwork as it is, so how am I supposed to stay on track with this losing weight thing, too? Anyone on board with that idea?

    I want to do NaNoWriMo, but I have a sister's wedding this year and I may be doing a college class, so I think the odds of actually participating are low. :)

    I'm going to be doing it this year! Well, at least I'm going to give it a good try. I'd love to be in a group if you ever made one. :happy:

    I've got four intense classes this semester... I'm still going to go for it!

    I think even writing a little is better than writing nothing; seems like one of the aims of NaNo in the first place: you may not 'win', but you'll still have written something even when you thought you couldn't. It's eye opening.

    I've done it for the past 2 years and failed but I'm really going to go for it this year. I'm going to take this time until November to plan the crap out of my idea so I have a chance of winning. Good luck.

    I am thinking of trying it this year. Trouble is finding the time to get that done plus working on my other novels. Busy busy busy! :explode:

    You guys are awesome! For those of you who are still uncertain, again, I definitely encourage you to go for it regardless. :D

    I think I'll create the group later on and send invites out, so let me know if you're interested in being in the group so I can put your usernames on the list.

    I would like to be included in your group. Also, anyone wants to add me as a friend, feel free.

    Here you go, guys! I sent invites to those of you who seemed super sure you were going to do it (so apologies if you wanted an invite but I didn't send one, haha).

    Every year I think I should do it, and then every year November comes and goes and I haven't even written a word.

    This will be my 4th year of NaNoWriMo. I've won the past two years.

    I've always admired people who successfully complete NaNoWriMo and I've wanted to give it a go! I've got classes too though and they have been kicking my butt this term!

    Hello, this is actually my first post on myfitnesspal. I just joined and was browsing around to see if I could find anything that interested me. The biggest thing upcoming that I'm looking forward to is NaNo. This will be my third time attempting it. The first time I hit somewhere in the 25k mark, and last year I had just started a new job so I failed at around 5k words. This year I've really prepared and I'm hoping to be successful in it *crosses fingers*

    I've been doing NaNoWriMo for 10 years now. Never won, but that's not really why I do it. :) I just love the kick-start it gives my brain...

    This will be my fourth attempt. I'm completed it once. Last year I didn't even bother. Cannot WAIT for midnight to get here!
