NaNoWriMo '11
I don't know if anyone's heard about NaNoWriMo, but it's a writing competition, where you write whatever you want. The goal is to reach 50K words by the end of November (it starts November 1st).
I'm so excited! I participated for the first time last year, and I'm looking forward to doing so again!
And you? Have you been a NaNo-er, or will you join for the first time this year? Let's hear about your experiences!
Two years ago, I tried my hand at NaNo, but I only got 3k words in until something personal came up. This year I'm planning to complete the 50k with a friend :D

Last year I heard that official winners got a free copy of their novel in book-form sent to them. I hope they do something like that this year! I'm determined to do the 50k. I probably wont though XD

Nice (; I've been planning for...oh, a month? I've fairly well figured out the characters and plot. I'm reaaaaally excited x]

I've done NaNoWriMo in the past, but I've never completed it (although last year I got up to 39k). My problem is that I always get caught up in research. You're supposed to start a story from scratch for NaNoWriMo, and in the past when I do that I end up spending the first half of the month not actually writing and just doing a lot of research and planning. This year I'm going to try and get around that by skipping the parts that might require research - after all it never says the 50k has to be linear scenes. Then after the 50k, I can focus on researching for filling in the rest. :)

Definitely! I did only 5K words last year (xD), but it was fun!
