I am attempting NaNoWriMo again this year. I am trying to write a basic outline but it is not that great, so far.
I am just making it up as I go along. It is a lot harder now than in earlier years. NaNo has changed a lot, too. You can read about it in their pages.
Are any of you trying this year?

@Dreamerby From what I see on the news, India has a lot of disasters and troubles. I hope you and your family are okay.

NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. The website (nanowrimo) is a great resource for accountability and fun while writing a 50k word story. Its totally free too!

No, doesn't seem appealing to me. I remember Valerie used to participate in it though..and that other guy who shows up here periodically DW Davis,participates I think.

This National Novel Writing Month is quite interesting and I am a fan of it. It always interests me and so is the excitement this time too. But due to lack of time and other commitments I hardly find time to reach the target. Interestingly I haven't reached it even once to my satisfaction
But if I were to challenge myself for this challenge it would be writing 50, 000 words here on MyLot.

@akalinus Hahaha... You are right. Up to a certain point, it's easy to write. But then it really happens that we run out of ideas and find out that we cannot write anything anymore. And the challenge isn't completed. We lose it this year like the former years.
I was going to say this, but you said it before me - I write a lot of words. Because I'm quite active now here, I'm also writing a lot these days.

I didn't even think of it this year! I haven't done it in years but you've inspired me. I have a few story ideas in my head. I'll have to do an outline and character development. :) Good luck! You've got this!

Ugh. Trying to log in and get going while I have a moment. But I think everyone is doing the same bc the site just keeps freezing. :(
