Is anyone participating in that this year? I'm actually an ML for PA: Elsewhere, so if anyone is looking for some support, needs some motivation or just wants a good group of people to chat with, ask advice, etc, just let me know!

I usually try to participate, but I've never finished. I'm not a steam-filled writer; sporadic at best. I was dangerously close my first year, and have fallen short each time.

I had always heard of NaNo but never knew how much was actually involved with it. I kinda figured it was something like Secretary Month, ya know, people know about it, some participate, but it's largely a do-it-yourself kinda thing. Last year was my first year actually participating. I loved it. Started six days late even and still managed to win early. It was because of the group of people I found. It's been awesome. You should try it again, Cross ^^ You can join us! lol

I would love to do it. Always wanted to, just, as Cross said I didn't have enough steam for it. I have lots of time now so. Maybe. What's all involved in it?

NaNo is writing 50000 words of a novel during the month of November. That equals out to 1667 words a day from November 1 to November 30. You sign up at nanowrimo.org and can check out the forum, the FAQ, all that. I've had a blast with it so far.

It really is. There's also Camp Nano in April and July. That one's a bit more lax and you get to pick your word count. So there's that as well ^^

I managed to get to 40K. I really want to finish before Thanksgiving. Though I was hoping to actually finish the novel before the end of November... but that ain't happening XD

Yeaaaaahhh... I participated, but didn't get far. I did the first nine or ten days, but then life kicked my feet out from under me and proceeded to keep kicking until I eventually stopped trying to get back up.

I didn't know about it until halfway through the month. So no. Maybe next year, though.
