This is my first year doing the NaNo and I am having a wonderful time with this. I went to my first write-in last Saturday and met some veteran Wrimos. All great people! I am over 16K on my word count and it is day 7! Yeah!!!

Fantastic news, Lounge Daddy; I’m honoured to have been the one to have introduced you to NaNoWriMo — and trust I’ll be seeing your name on the bookshelves in a couple of years’ time!

Best of luck, have an utterly fantastic November,

Ali

I had never heard of NaNoWriMo until I read your article the day it was posted (10 days ago as I write this). I sat bolt upright as I read, and then I went straight to the web site to read more.

The timing could have been more perfect! I signed up that very day, and I am still just as jazzed as I was when I first read your article. Thank you so very much for turning me on to this.

November I plan on writing the first 50,000 words of a 200,000 word novel. Boo-ya!

NaNoWriMo is great. This will be my 6th year.

It definitely helps to have local support. Draft a friend or neighbor. There are lots of local groups scattered around the world. Even my little community on the Oregon Coast has a very active group. A couple of years ago, we finished 3rd in the world for words per person. (Number 2 was one person by himself in Malaysia.)

Try it! You’ll become addicted.

NaNoWriMo is indeed cool. I happened to find this resourceful post at the right time. It seems like a month of great activity and cultural interaction. The sheer pleasure of completing a novel in a month with hell a lot of other participants is really invigorating. Here is my take on Nanowrimo: http://cutewriting.blogspot.com/2008/10/buckle-up-for-this-years-nanowrimo.html
