I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month in November. Just wondering if anyone else has done it, or plans to this year. I'm going to be writing a collection of short stories, various genres. I have everything from murder mystery to children's adventure planned.

I did it twice, but I just don't have time this year.0

I'm doing it! This is my 4th year.
1st year, full time student, got to 40k words
2nd year, full time student plus new baby - quit in the first week (wonder why :laugh:)
3rd year, last year, had graduated, and I hit 50k. The novel still isn't finished (neither is the one from year 1) but at least it counts as a win.
I'll have to look up my name there, But it would be fun to have more people encouraging each other in it, right?0 -
Me me me!! This'll be my fourth year and hopefully fourth win! My username is Tanashai (just like here, lol)0

I'm hoping to participate for the first time this year, but things have been hectic and I don't have my plot outlined through to the end so it could be a bit of a nightmare0

Someday when I'm not the yearbook adviser and facing the first deadline in mid-November, I am definitely going to do this. I have wanted to for a long time.0

Hey! This will be my third NaNoWriMo! I am actually not a native speaker and not form the US at all, however i fell in love with the concept and the community! This year I am going down the comedy-horror route and I hope i reach the 50k!0

I'll give it a go for the first time this year. It'll be fun as English is my second language.0

I'd like to rewrite my finished novel, how does that work?0

I have done it before and loved it! However, I didn't find it was conducive to fitness, for me. I naturally gravitate towards sedentary activities and I know that Nano would give me an "excuse" to do just that. I've really had to cut back on gaming for the same reason, but Nano would be even worse as it feels more virtuous.
I'm sure less naturally sedentary people are better getting the balance right. I'm glad I did it and I'm proud of my novel (there was an offer to have it made into a book, so it looks like an ACTUAL novel!). Best of luck to all of you going for it this year!0 -

I understand completely! Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a sedentary lifestyle thanks to Muscular Dystrophy, but I'm doing my best to be productive in spite of it. Congrats on publishing a book!0 -

I've run into a few people on the site who said they were using NaNoWriMo to rework their previous novels. That would classify you as a "NaNo Rebel", which is what I am too since I am writing a collection of short stories instead of one long one. Supposedly, the same rules and bragging rights apply. The @NaNoWriMo Twitter and Facebook accounts are very good about answering questions like this, if you want input straight from the powers that be. Good luck!0 -

My outline isn't complete either. I do have the basics typed out (characters, plot, synopsis, setting, etc) and some additional details, but other than that I am pretty much winging it like most newbies do. Have a great time!0 -
This thread makes me happy! I'm participating as well fourth year, hoping to make it my third win! I'm unoffcially trying to ML for my region because the ML is MIA and hasn't posted anything yet!! Geez.
I think I'm going back to fantasy this year. The last two years I wrote adult fiction and actually finished a crime novel, but I think I want to get back to my fantasy roots this year. I avoid it durin nano because I get bogged down with world building, but I think it's time.
My username on nano is morada.granada look me up!!
