Heh. I signed up and have since done absolutely nothing to prepare. I may end up not doing much on it after all, what with being busy and such Image

Dang. I never thought of it that way.

And it's really only 1,667 words per day. That's not so hard at all!

I had this great spreadsheet program to keep my wordcount on track last year. It was the best...I'll have to find it again and post it, since my computer crashed back in March.

*waves* I tried it last year, with two separate stories. I ended up trashing both of them and eventually forgetting about NaNo. ;.;

But I'm doing it again this year! I've got a random high school girl and her friend finding this old house where they can go into the paintings and stuff. *nod* Except my plot ends there. XD

Spreadsheet? As in like Excel? I thought Nanowrimo had a thing that did it automatically for you. :P

Yeah, there's one there too. But word counters tend to differ. I believe the one you enter in the box is the more important one.
I'm using Microsoft Word for a word counter, and I'm gonna rely on NaNo's for the official count.

I'm a novelist in distress :P I kinda neglected my novel idea for the last 20 days, and now I feel the urge of adding a monkey again...

NaNoWriMo always looks like potential fun so I finally gave in and decided to register this morning. Ah! Now I have only a day to figure out what my story will be about!! :P

Monkeys are cool.

NaNo's site is so laggy. I hope that's not what it's gonna be like this November. n_n

I'm totally addicted to the dares thread right now. Writing down silly dares to take is fun. I did something like 40 of them in my last NaNovel--it made things terribly entertaining. :)

Well, there is that, but the spreadsheet program was better. I entered my wordcount for the day into it, and it told me whether I was on track to finish in time, what percent of the novel was written, how many words I had to write every day after that to be on track to finish, and a bunch of other stuff. There was a pie chart, too. If anyone happens to be as big of a word count geek as I am, you can find it by googling NaNoWriMo Report Card. :)

6 1/2 more hours...

NaNo is the bestest thing evar. Maybe.
I first attempted it in 2004 and failed. Last year i tried nd suceeded, but just barely. This year i'm hoping to keep on track and maybe even finish early. I have high hopes after reading "No Plot? No Problem!". And so far, i have no plot. Didn't have one to begin with last year either. But that's what makes it exciting, i guess?

Yay, it starts tomorrow! I've made a writing group/club there, for the people in the other forums that participate in Nanowrimo as well as PPT. :) Also if you're interested, I'm going to be making Novel related graphics (Nano sets, Chapter Headings, Title Pages, etc. etc.)

At least you aren't writing a epic Doctor Who/Harry Potter/Phantom of the Opera/Kingdom Hearts/Ghostbusters crossover thing with a self-insert/Doctor romantic subplot :P
