        @mariposa
        @salome01w4g Thanks for the help anyway, ladies. 😀 I hope nano in Jan goes well for you, Hannah. 🙂 Mariposa: Haha, well Aberdeen better be really hungery…XD


        @sarah-anson
        Wow. Can I just say that is impressively long. XD My books confuse me when they’re 50,000 words long, so there’s no way I could make it that far. : Splitting them up makes sense. Oooh, I hope you have an awesome first year!

        Niiiice @perfectfifths! Yeah, when I did nano last year I liked to do 2,000 words a day just in case I got behind. 🙂


        @kballen
        *highfives another fantasy writer* I hope you win this year!


        @daughteroftheking
        *jumps at loud battle cry* Oooh that sounds like a fun mix of genres! *solemnly* I will bury you beside Snowmane.


        @aislinn-mollisong
        Happy first year! *another high five for another fantasy writer*


        @seekjustice
        I love all these first timers! Wooow that’s long too! But hey, 50,000 words could be halfway there…


        @jane-maree
        *mouth drops* 8k? Whaaaaat? *grins* Bravo.


        @jess-penrose
        Yes! Welcome to the party! I love how many people are showing up.

        Have you ever heard of NaNoWriMo before?

          Aaand since I started this thread I suppose I should answer my own questions. XD For nano I’m doing something a little different. Instead of writing 50,000 words I’m putting my current WIP, Rook, through two macro edits and a micro edit. It’s a fantasy, and I hope by the time I’m done it will be over 60,000 words.
          Oh yeah, and this is my second year.

            @Perfectfifths my writing secret: close all internet things other than my music playlist and my timer, and write in intensive sprints against the timer. And just keep doing that for half the day. 😛

            I hit my goal of 15k! I’m hoping to reach 20k by the end of today. 😀

              @jane-maree woza girl, that’s great and probably the most insane thing I’ve heard of yet….. 😛 😉

                  Um.. Hi
                  This is my first year doing NaNo and I’m hoping to get 50,000 words by the end of the month. I’m planning on doing a trilogy with this, it is a fantasyish plot line, the name is The Day the Dragons Disappeared but that might change.

                    AYE, I am attempting NaNo once more. This is the first year that I have signed up on the official website, so that’s exciting. Hopefully with that added impetus, I’ll actually have more success than in past years XP

                    I haven’t ‘titled’ my novel yet, but it’s a mystery set just a few years/decades in the future, so nothing too dramatic. I had to change a bunch of plot ideas from when I first came up with it, but I am quite confident with it now 🙂

                        @jess-penrose I find loopholes… National Backspace Ban Day. Where everyone selects and replaces instead of using backspace. *sigh*
