Are you writing for NaNoWriMo? Can you write a novel in a month?

I tried last year and It just didn't happen. That really is a tough thing to do. I definitely won't be participating this year as I'm in school and I'm busy doing school work and the like rather than working on something for fun! I mean I have enough trouble keeping up with mylot sometimes, fortunately I have work to keep up with mylot! ha ha.

Of course I think that you can write a novel in a month. All you need is the inspiration and the time. Of course when writing, discipline is very important, but for most writers, once you´ve started, you can´t stop.

I heard about this on Associated Content as a few of my friends wrote articles about it. I had never heard of it before and won't be participating because I don't think I could do it in one month. Maybe next year I will have the guts to try it out. :)

There is no way I could write a novel in a month. My brain and fingers do not work that fast! I have been working on one novel for a year, now, but very sporadically. I can't seem to discipline myself to write (or do anything) regularly! I tend to go with my mood, which is generally lazy. Write a novel in one month would certainly take some discipline! Good luck with the project. I hope there is some kind of prize or reward for all that work!

Yes I've heard about this contest, but Holy moly...I do wish you luck with this. But to write an entire 50,000 word novel in one month? I don't think I could do that unless I worked on it 20 hours a day! LOL.

last year I hit 50,000 on day 19, by day 30 I had 183,000. This year on day 3 I hit 9,031, so I'm doing better than last year. For non-NaNo I have written a complete novel in a week, so I know I can do one in a month

I guess I need to check this site out, and see if it is something I could do. Sounds like it could be quite interesting, and I Love challenges. But tune could be a factor for me as well. Thanks for making the post about this site.

I hadn't ever heard of it. I don't think I could do it, at least not right now. But I think I will look into it a little bit more. Maybe I can try it next year and actually do it.

Well, I am trying to do it. But college seems to be plotting against me, like I ended up spending this last weekend on a term paper (4348 words worth) instead of the novel. And yesterday, I was so fried from the term paper that I got only 345 words done, which is better than I thought I would do considering how I felt. I am fairly sure I could do it if I was allowed to just focus on it, rather than being forced to do fifteen things all at once. http://morgandrake.blogspot.com/

Well, I did sign up for it. But I really want/need to concentrate on the novel I was already in progress in before November began. This is kind of against the rules, so I don't know if it will count. But, luckily, I already have around 50,000 written in the novel I am working on... perhaps I could write 50,000 more for this month? Would that count? Either that, or I was considering trying to start the sequel. I know exactly what is to happen, but I feel kind of... presumptuous writing it already. I don't think it's time for that. It's in an entirely different mood, and I think if I switched between them, I would mix that up. So my ultimate conclusion is... I'm just going to try to add another 50,000 words to the story I am already on. I don't care if it doesn't count... it will still make me feel good!
