But this is the first year that I'm definitely considering it. I have an idea for a new story, have done some outlining. I actually even have the first chapter written, but I'm still a bit hesitant. If nothing else, I'm promising myself that I'll write (hopefully quite a bit ;)) in November. Everyone makes it sound so great, so I'm going to be doing some thinking next week.<br />Ninja GirlNinja Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901215698632029838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-34207420296456819362011-10-21T19:36:39.593-04:002011-10-21T19:36:39.593-04:00Good luck with NaNoWriMo!

That's not much time at all! :)<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to NaNoWriMo this year . . . despite the fact I don't have any concrete ideas for what I'm going to write.

You get lost in the rush of it and you'll hit the goal faster than you think!<br /><br />C D, the ten days was grueling. After doing it once, I had no urge to do it again! Too bad you're not doing NaNo this year, but I understand.<br /><br />Elizabeth, thank you for the good luck. Revisions can keep you busy!<br /><br />Cherie, I'm feeling the same way as you. I haven't written any other novels except during NaNo recently. We need to change that!<br /><br />Heidi, I'm like you. I write fast in what seems like a fit of madness. Good madness! My son was six months last year. I should have gotten more writing done than I did. Here's hoping for both of us that our toddlers nap for us this year!<br /><br />Alex, that's awesome!

Love to buddy you when they get that up--I'm Riverite.<br /><br />I'm amazed that people think that nothing good can come of a NaNo draft. I write all my novels that furiously--I think it is the only way for me to get a solid draft.<br /><br />I have a toddler too. He was two months old during last Nano, which is why I didn't participate. In retrospect, I should have because now I get even less time to write since he doesn't nap nearly as much.Heidi Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056627400336997554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-76101643595618731862011-10-20T09:48:03.373-04:002011-10-20T09:48:03.373-04:00I'm so excited about NaNo this year!

I keep trying to convince myself I need to get my rewrites done.<br /><br />I've heard various people have a go at NaNo, and how you can't possibly get a good novel in that time, but, like you said, the idea is to let loose with your creativity and just write. All first drafts need rewrites. I love it, because it encourages me to write, rather than analyse every word.<br /><br />Like Amanda, I'm stunned at your ability to write 50,000 in ten days! Last year, I just about made 50,000 on 30th November!C D Meetenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185285028025647307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-74876579271263446752011-10-20T05:39:00.339-04:002011-10-20T05:39:00.339-04:00I've just signed up for NaNoWriMo too! it'...I've just signed up for NaNoWriMo too! it's my first time and I'm not sure if I've bitten off more than I can chew, but I'll give it my best shot.
