Hey everyone! I'm a 23 y/o writer, highly skilled at both wordy dialogue and procrastination, and I'm SO excited about my second NaNo. Last year I signed up on an impulse in the last week of October, and brilliantly decided to write the second book what aims to be an epic fantasy trilogy. I don't think I'll make that mistake again. No, this year I'm going to write the third book instead. ;-)
Despite a crazy November complete with a November 29th POWER OUTAGE (a NaNo's worst nightmare!), I somehow won last year, and was just blown away by the magic power of kamikaze novel-writing. I began with little more than a title and a few undeveloped characters, and learned so, so much about my story by the month's end. It's true what they say about necessity being the mother of invention. This year promises to be even more fun since I'm doing it with a bunch of friends, and discovering that there really ARE other crazy writers in this small town. November 1st just can't get here fast enough!
...although, I'm thinking it might be nice to try to come up with some sort of rough outline this year...? :-)
