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!

I might not be doing a brand new or full length nano in January but I'll be doing research for and working on two previous nano novels. I'm also writing a 10K story that links those two novels for a challenge at a writing comm I'm part of, though the deadline for that is the end of February.

So I'm up for joining in for the Nano levels of motivation and having people to share the joys and woes of a month of writing with, but I don't know yet if I'll be aiming for 50K or just seeing how much I can get done. :-)

I'm in. And as a head's up, the chatzy room is still open and they do do sprints during the rest of the year. I've been lurking in the room with a few others. They take December off (for obvious reasons), but sprints should start back up in the near future.

Glad to hear it! I may have missed any announcement. I actually only just got my internet back. I do enjoy buddying up to write, so I'll peek back in after Dec's done.

That sounds awesome. I'm glad to have writing buddies no matter what the goal. Thanks!
