I'm going to be NaNo-adjacent and blog about it. November is the worst time of the year NaNo could be, for me.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I was thinking about it. But I don't know. I always fail! I guess I should already be doing it if I'm going to!

if you do, and don't make it to 50k, you still have a bunch of writing done, right? ::NUDGE:: (t- lookin' at you too)
ALL MUST JOIN ME IN MY MISERY.

Seriously. I think you can make NaNo what you want it to be. My goal is just to blog every day for a month.
If you use it that way, and don't focus on the result, I think it's a great idea. (Or if you play by the rules, obviously.)

I decided to sign up just this morning, Liese! Dooo eeeet!!
Because I need to spark creativity in my life in general. I haven't explored yet, but my username over there is jenbefore.
I have such envy of and admiration for storytellers. You people with the characters, and the plotting, and the world building, and the... storytelling! I just don't even know.

Okay okay! I am so susceptible to peer pressure! None of you offer me any drugs, okay? I signed up. I even gave myself a randomized title. But I don't know how to add you as writing buddies! What do I do?

I'll hereby declare myself with Amy: a post a day. For any number of personal and professional reasons, I need to practice the form and figure out what works for me. I imagine this month will be all over the map. I am working on putting up a WordPress blog, but I'll start on LJ, because if I wait until all the stars align, I'll be the world's oldest blogger.
I will try not to make it all about the dog.
eta: Should I sign up, even though I'm not writing a novel, at least not this year?

I keep thinking I'm going to use NaNo to finish the big fic I've been doing for years, but I never do.
