Re: Planning for NaNo?
I'm not doing NaNo. November's always a bad month for me, and I always have end of year exams to prepare for. Perhaps I could do a NaNo of my own in January or February, but who knows?
Good luck to the participants!

Re: Planning for NaNo?
I'll probably do the YWP, so I can set a lower goal, lol. I've tried, and I really just can't get out 1.57k every single day. I start hitting a wall after too much forward progress. Plus, I'll be querying, and hopefully have a job, so...yes. We'll see how far I get--I'm hoping to reach a 30k goal. I think 1k at least, per day, might be doable.
Re: Planning for NaNo?
@Matt Haha! I just might join you if you do that. Thanks!
@Amanda Hehehe. It's that inner editor of yours, isn't it? XD And that's totally valid. Jobs are important! I kinda need one of those.

Re: Planning for NaNo?
@Maggie--Yeah...it's probably the editor. The inner one, I mean. I like my ideas so much, I guess, I feel like I have to do them enough justice the first time. I can't just do a terrible first draft. Bad, maybe, but not the mad-dash horrid that 50k in a month would be for me, lol.
Re: Planning for NaNo?
I am. Because I can't stay away.
Every year I say "I don't know if it's possible. I'm so much busier than last year," and every year I do more faster. Basically that means this year I should finish 100K in five days.
Joking.
Mostly.
Sorta.
Not really.
OMG I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT THIS YEAR *cries*
20 hrs/week job.
20 hrs/week internship.
20 hrs/week classes.
20 hrs/week swimming.
A SOCIAL LIFE (ha. But seriously)
Then sometimes I go out on a limb and do crazy things like eat or sleep.
And then I'm too competitive not to beat last year's, so this year I have to top 105K, AND I have to top one novel (70K) in 11 days.
*hides in corner*
As long as you all are there to support me, I will be fine.
*heads off to plot*
...right after I finish these manuscripts for Agent Lady.
...oh, and then there's the Teen Eyes manuscript in the queue.
...and tonight I'm supposed to go to a carnival.
But then I'll plot.
*stares at ARC of How to Save a Life*
...eventually.

Re: Planning for NaNo?
*sighs* One word: OVERACHIEVER.
*coughs*
It'll be okay if you don't hit 105k.
REALLY.
TRULY.
HONESTLY.
I PROMISE YOU.
But I'll be here cheering you on whatever you do.

Re: Planning for NaNo?
@Matt Count me in! I'd love to do NaNo again in January or February.
I have my plot ready to go. Well, it's more just like an idea and it'll grow into whatever it wants. That's what I did last year. Too much planning is no good for me. But I should probably name my characters... But I'm looking forward to sharing the NaNo madness with those who are participating!
