JaNoWriMo, anyone?

[ahavah]

Hello, friends!

I worked out a good chunk of a new storyline in The Dragon Alliance for NaNo this year. It's still not done, as I've had to focus on the house all December to make up for November's lack of doing darn near anything. Things are settling down now...and I think I'm going to do JaNoWriMo. I really want to bust out my apocalyptic survivalist/prepper story, Neon Giraffe (working title). The husband is a bit disappointed that I did The Dragon Alliance for the second year in a row, as he's apparently pretty excited about the Neon Giraffe idea. So looks like I'll have some good support at home if I try to get cracking on this thing next month.

I posted to the janowrimo community yesterday, but no one's posted there since 2010, and I've gotten no response yet. I had better luck on my FB, where I've recruited a couple of friends to do it with me, and a few more are contemplating it.

NaNo works for me primarily because of all the support & camaraderie. I'd love to give it another go if anyone wants to join us! I will even 'cheat' and say go ahead and finish/edit/polish up your NaNo if you prefer. I'm just looking for folks who might want to write together for a while again. Please let me know! Thanks!

Sounds like a great idea. I'm a long way from finishing my book, and though I've worked on it in Dec, like many others, Dec gets eaten up doing what didn't get done in November and preparing for the holidays. I'll have a week and a half off for Christmas, so we'll see how much I get done then.
So I guess this a tentative commitment, lol. I'll jump over to janwrimo and join it. Its the deadline/goal that works the most for me, so setting up this sort of thing is probably the best way for me to finish this monster!

Yay! Thanks so much! I will take even a tentative commitment. :D I hope you're able to do it. I tried one year a long while back, but I didn't last more than a week or two. I really hope to knock out a good portion of this new WIP.
