Madame-Aiko - if you want to do a less structured type of NaNo, there will be Camp NaNoWriMo coming up in April. You won't have all of the write ins and organized activities that Municipal Liaisons coordinate (the local leaders of NaNo), but you can pick how many words you'll write and can sign up to join a "camp."
I've never done the camps, but I hear they can be fun. Another thing you win are 1/2 price on writing software. I've purchased 2 copies of Scrivner - one for my PC and one for my Mac. Love that software, although I haven't yet utilized it to its full potential. Everyone who writes the 50K words wins a winners certificate to download and winner icons. I think the biggest perk though is the self confidence that comes from taking on and achieving such a great goal. | ||||

Wow. Talk about an old thread.
Is anyone doing CampNaNoWriMo? I've been working on revising an old novel, working on planning my November NaNo and writing a few short stories. | ||||

The last few years, I've been focusing more on art, tbh. I should try writing this year, to see what happens.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

I've known a couple of people who worked on graphic novels for NaNo. That's always seemed like a great way to combine writing with art and great fun for all those good artists out there.

Reasons you should/should not participate in the National Novel Writing Month?

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. =)

My best year was my first in 2013 with 24'000 words. The others I either forgot or burned myself out with daily writing in October.
I've entered a book this year as a story about my late dog, but I more plan to edit my first project so I can get something out. My sister-in-law wants me to make a book of my writing for posterity, to go with some of the stuff other family members have done. That might be my project. Not sure how far I'll actually get with the dog book. | ||||

I'm pondering over trying again this year. I've got an idea that I want to write, but it's going to depend a lot on my time availability.

pinky, are you pondering what i'm pondering?
i make the time if i have an idea. to the extent that i've completed all my chanukah crochet, and i'm pretty sure there's only three nights i have plans for. (and one is after my self-challenged deadline of Turkey Day XD ) edit: oops. a few more than three. but just don't tell my boss i write a lot of NaNo during the day...

I've been thinking of writing again, this may be a good chance for me to hop back in the groove....
OR never finish the story like I did last time, but I blame the computer crashing for that. It's not my fault I saved on chapter 3 and not 11.... >.>; {MyAnimeList}{My MAL Graph!}{Read manga?
