[trystan830]

this year will be my 5th NaNo (i wrote in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014)

it is a fast-paced writing marathon, and the theory is it gets you/a writer in the habit of writing something every day... all the time.

i write starting Nov 1, and stop when i finish the story, and then don't write again until Nov 1. i have my own challenge - try to 'win' (ie, reach 50,000 words) by Thanksgiving. i'm a tried and true 'pantser' - i write by the seat of my pants.

although this year, i have pages of notes because it's a timey-wimey 'prequel' to the story i wrote in 2014.

i'm trystan830 on nanawrimo.org if anyone's interested or wants to add me as a writing buddy this year. =)
