Depending on exactly where you are, there's something like 41 days until NaNoWriMo 2011! Time to start counting down! It's also time to introduce your NaNo-selves and post excited comments about how quickly/slowly the time is passing. This isn't just an introductions thread - it's also a place to wait for NaNoWriMo  . The detailsSite address: www.nanowrimo.org/The challenge: 50,000 words in 30 days We also have a 'writing club' thread here: www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/875. Now, introduce yourselves! NaNo username and profile link: Your idea for the month: Are you privately planning to write more than 50k?
NaNo username and profile link: SianaBlackwoodYour idea for the month: I don't have one yet, although I'm thinking of making/buying a pair of 'writing pants' to celebrate my usual seat-of-the-pants attitude. Are you privately planning to write more than 50k? Yes! Last year I wrote 75k and while I don't really think I've got enough writing time for that this year, I'd definitely like to get over 60k. 60 is a good number because then the daily goal is 2k . |

NaNo username and profile link: www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/800661Your idea for the month: I plan to write a few novels besides the one i planned that is part of a trilogy for Nano. Are you privately planning to write more than 50k? Yes, i plan to write at 55k and i may get past that with being at 57k if i go further to writing more at least to reach towards higher word goal. |

NaNo username and profile link: JezzyHatesJazz (I just realised I have no friends...) Your idea for the month: Changed from original idea to 'Feral State' - a kind of 'tech-fantasy' that's a little difficult to explain. The synopsis on the site should help clear it up... Should. Are you privately planning to write more than 50k? Of course ^^ I am insane, after all. (My first NaNo... *happy tears*) EDIT: Link updated. |

You mean I'm the only one who's done NaNo before?
(and I added you both as buddies, although I have no idea if we get to keep all that when the new version of the NaNo site comes online)

Looks that way...
(I added you guys... because somehow I didn't think to do that before. I'm just sleep deprived lately. I hope we get to keep them. I'd think it would be annoying for people who have a lot of buddies to go back and 'collect' everyone again.)

... also I have no idea who most of mine are any more. We just sort of met up in the newbie section. I'm spending a bit of time in the newbie board again this year, encouraging newcomers, providing sage words of wisdom,  and sprinkling insanity dust. I can't believe how many people there are in NaNo compared to all the other WriMos. |

It seems we'll be waiting a little longer than usual for NaNoWriMo (or at least for the Wipe). The site is scheduled to be reset on October 10th now.

I think there's 5 days until the launch of the new site. It's the 6th already for me, but the NaNo servers are located on the other side of the world, so I'll go with 5 days.
Must be time I started thinking of an idea...

Okay, it's the 8th here for me. It's times like this I wish I had an actual calender so I could mark off the days. Right now I'm just sort of fluttering around and not doing much of anything. Only a few days until the new site launch though and I'm excited for that.
I'm kind of struggling to not write on NaNo aside from the outline. I think that's a good sign ^^

I'm still trying to finish H2NYE as well as itching to work on WFTN and the next part of my 'Jed and Chrissie' saga. I'm also constantly thinking up ideas for NaNo (while I'm doing the washing up - what is it about writers and water, anyway?).
Not sure if this is looking positive or if I'm about to run into trouble.
And it's so closer to the Wipe! I really want to see the new site!
(It's probably going to look exactly the same so they don't confuse the poor writers, isn't it?)

It should be Wipe Day, but it's not  . Pesky timezones - it's the 10th here, NaNo guys. Relaunch the site already! I know, I know. Be patient, Siana. |
