this'll be my 11th year doing NaNo and my first year doing it in a region that isn't extremely centralized where the write-ins have like everyone there, which'll be weird.

Would be my 9th year, am considering it, but might be too busy for once.

Good luck!

I'll be doing four weeks of writing, but I'm not going to be doing things the normal way: because I can't both write and draw, I'm going to stop writing after two weeks in November (so as to start focusing on my drawing)...but, to compensate for that, I'm going to start writing two weeks IN advance. I'm doing final note preparation as I speak.
Here's my profile, by the way.

I just signed up, never really been inspired to write before just recently. I may or may not attempt to tackle it this year.

You can join the Skype group to get help and support.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Great progress if I do say so myself.

1,780 here.

Mind you.

I only have five days or so left of time to work on my novel.
So I basically need about 10,000 words per day to win.

It might be possible, but it's looking harder and harder to obtain in part because I'm trying to sleep off a cold. (A pseudosickness born of sleep deprivation--it's not a full-blown illness, but it's still a hindrance and it can develop INTO a serious cold which would last months unless I get rid of it now.)

So I have a story to share. ffery threw a tantrum on skype, deleted it in a fit of rage, destroyed her computer in a further extension of that rage, bought a new one in a fit of panic, and now our writer group has moved to Discord so she never does that again. As a starving writer she can't afford to do that again.

Bumping this because Camp NaNo starts tomorrow! We were talking in our super special writing place about setting goals and keeping one another accountable to them, like you're supposed to in a cabin. So, if you want to be apart of that, or just hang out with us, there is a server link you can click on.

Gonna try for it again this year though I'm still not solid on my story idea and I don't know when I'm going to start writing yet since I'm busy

Good luck to anyone going for it this year
