Anyone participating in NaNoWriMo?

Not this year. I have read everything there is to be read on the website in the first week of November, and decided I would not be able to complete the task. The main problem is a non-supporting spouse, because the contest has no cash prize. She does not see, and probably do not want to understand, the rationale behind the project. I may give it a try next year if I have sufficient funds to show to her.

I absolutely love writing and I've attempted NaNoWriMo before, but my issue is that I often start stories, but never finish! I think I might try again next month, so who knows? Maybe I'll finish and complete something I'm proud of. Outside of NaNoWriMo, I'm working on a short story and hope to complete it instead of letting all the ideas fall by the wayside! :)

I'm writing and for the first time since the month began, I'm a day ahead. I don't have to write at all today and I'll still be at the word count goal. But, I will do a little writing. I've won it a few years, but last year I fizzled out, so I'm determined to get the 50,000 this year.

I have heard of NanoWriMo. Are you participating this year? I may decide to do so next year. But I don't really have a novel in my head, but I have a good mind to write a book. I shall work on gathering information and participate next year. It will push me to write my book. It might probably be in the form of a diary or snippets of life.

Wow, I love to write and I already write a few short stories and keep them for memories and to see my progress. I have never heard of that before but I am so so glad that I came across this post because I always love a challenge and I have some great ideas for a novel. Who knows maybe this will help me get some creative juices flowing and get some extra income too. :-)

I'm doing it for the fifth year. Last year was my first win. I'll probably make 40,000 words today if I can keep myself from goofing off. I'm taking it slow and easy, not like last year, when I nearly killed myself. I hope to have my novel finished by the end of the month, but even if it isn't, I'll be close enough to the end so that a few days in December should finish it off. Then back to editing another novel that I want to publish as an ebook. Good luck to you, and to everybody who's participating.

Nope, never, nada and zilch. I avoid it like the plague. However, if one wishes to I have no problem with it. I wrote a novel just fine without it. Actually it would stifle my creativity.

My sister and I are both doing Nano this year! I did it last year and won, but now I'm really excited because now I have a writing buddy to compare word counts with! Actually, she kinda hates me because I'll write like 7,000 words in 3 hours and then leave it for a few days and then just as she's about to catch up I go and write 7,000 words in 3 hours again. lol I'm doing good, and I would be ahead if I wrote every day but I'm a busy person so I don't. I happen to think NaNo is easy, but that's just me. My sister is a tad behind, but she's gotten lots of words done so I have no doubt she'll finish at least within the first week of December, if not on time in November.

I'm sortofparticipating. I've found if I do Nano the way Nano is supposed to be done I get utterly burnt out on writing and don't use what I've written at all, nor do I manage to write anything else for a few months. It also doesn't help that I didn't return to the UK from my vacation until the 8th of November so I lost more than a week there. (Then we had stocktaking which was 14 hours straight working in one day so that day and most of the day after it was wiped out.) So I decided instead to just write as much as I can in the month I had left. I'm currently on 14,450 words right now but I haven't written for tonight so hopefully I can get that up a bit. If I do participate next year it will be the same way, with me just writing as much as I can rather than aiming for the 50k. It would be nice to write the 50k in a month but I'd rather be happy with my writing and work than rush through to produce poor work.
