Hi, I'm Lani. It's my first year doing NaNo-- I've been aware of NaNo for a few years but this is the first time that I've felt that I'm intellectually ready and I have enough time. There's never going to be a perfect time within the next sixty years for me to write a novel in a month, so I might as well start now! My novel is (supposed to be) from two perspectives: a fifteen year old daughter and her father. The daughter writes about events happening in her life that drudge up people/events from her father's past, which he reveals to her through his narrative. They both write in first/second person, as if they were talking to each other.

Some other info about me: I'm a huge fan of theatre, especially musical theatre. My favourite plays/musicals are Rent, Grey Gardens, Spring Awakening, Angels in America and A Chorus Line. My favourite movies are Chicago, Pieces of April and A Beautiful Mind.

I'm in high school in Toronto, Ontario.

Hi there! I grew up in Toronto, and I'm living out near London now. Your plot sounds awesome! This is my first year doing (well, seriously attempting) Nano as well. Mind if I add you?

Sure. When you said that my plot sounded awesome, I was like, "Wait...what plot?" But that's the fun of NaNo.

Haha, maybe not plot, then, but idea! I love the whole present/past thing, which I'm actually going to do in my own novel. I'm going to add you. :)

"There's never going to be a perfect time within the next sixty years for me to write a novel in a month, so I might as well start now! "

That's really the best reason I've heard to do NaNo, and will motivate me to remember it. I'm Pidge and it's my first time also, can we add each other? In need of LJ /NaNo buddies.

I'm in need of LJ NaNo buddies too. I'll add you/
What's your NaNo username?

Hi! Less an intro from me, and more a re-introduction. I've recently changed my LJ name, so if you see me around, I was hobbitgwen.

For some inexplicable reason, I posted my intro in yesterday's thread.

....Mmmhmm.

Anyways I have decided to use this sn, so:

NaNo number.... 5

I've only won once, and what a messed up piece of James Joycian metaphysical bull that was.

I'm 23, and student teaching and for some reason think that that doesn't imply I should take a year off from NaNo.

I've encouraged my AP Lit students to join in the fun. They looked at me like I was crazy.

My interests: Improv, tabletop gaming, BSG, Star Wars, Twilight, Buffy, various other nerdery.
