The idea came with a good first line (and title) I got in creative writing class. The basic plot just spun itself from that line. I have a brief idea of what will happen - I'm not going to plan it more than that or I won't be able to write enough words around the skeleton (as happens when I plan chapter by chapter). I’m in!

That sounds about right for NaNo insanity! LOL. I have a conference and four family birthdays... yep, this is going to be craaaazy... Holly - I think the support network is the reason I get through it every year! Write-ins are FANTASTIC, and the forums are a lot of fun. I highly recommend it... joooooin uuuuus! Patricia - 16 HOURS?!?!? Wow. Umm... wow. Please tell me you'll blog about it. Are you guys being sponsored to do it? ...I have a hard enough time sitting in one spot for ONE hour, let alone 16! Elizabeth - I know how you feel! I really really really should be revising all the way through November, but... but... can't... resist! (And yes, definitely next time ;) ) Samantha - The monkey badge is DEFINITELY a worthwhile reason to participate. I mean... it's a monkey. On a web badge. Heck, yes. Chicklit – Two trips and no plan?

Not this year. Yep, I'm not up to tearing myself away from my editing fever for my submission. Sorry... Perhaps next time?

It's kind of a long story but to make it short my husband is hosting this event to repay me and my writing group for supporting him through his Ironman distance triathlon. It's going to be nuts! What is your username for NaNo? I'm under PatriciaTimms. On November 5th me and my NaNo writing group are going to attempt to write for 16 hours.

But boy, you sure make a great case for it. I had no idea there was so much support included. Nor a legitimate excuse for consuming delicious caramel lattes! :o) Every year I THINK about it, but have never done it. But boy, you sure make a great case for it.

I think I'm going to NaNo again this year. I've done it the past two years now and there is something magical about the process. I have no idea what I'm going to work on, though. AND I have two trips planned during the month. This will be interesting. Buddy’d! I think I’m going to NaNo again this year.

It'll be fun to see how all my bloggy friends are doing during November... and why we don't get as many posts up, inevitably. Haha. Make sure you try and connect with a NaNo group in your area, esp. since it's your first year. Write-ins are AWESOME motivators! Yaaaay! Yes, add me!

I NaNo, or I mean, I will be NaNo-ing for the first time this year. 25 days left. I'm going to add you as a writing buddy if that's okay. Good luck to you! Yay!

I could never have done NaNo during university. Good luck with the exams! Su - I 'winged it' for my first year, so you never know! It can make things... interesting... Lisa - Yay! Thanks! I'll add you back! What's your username? Susan - That's why I'm happy to be Canadian... our Thanksgiving is next week! Okay, that's not the only reason. LOL. Maybe you could do a few hundred words extra in the days leading up to it, so you can have a few guilt-free days off during the holiday...? Alison - Whoo-hoo, a first-timer! I'll add you back (if you don't see me, give me a poke in case I've missed your username). You'll have a great time! Cinette - Good luck! I'm just going in with a brief outline too, I think. Not enough time to do more! Jennee - I think the support network is one of the best parts :) And you're right, it finally makes November EXCITING. Carolyn - Agreed! My second time around I planned too much... and third time, not enough. I'm going for the sweet spot this year (I hope)... S.C. - Makes perfect sense! I have a pile of NaNo ms's that I haven't edited yet, and it's pretty overwhelming when I see them sitting there on the shelf. Good luck with completing the short stories, that'll be work enough! Barbara - Excellent! I'll add you back. It's going to be crazy good times, I can feel it. Alison - I'm pretty sure some people among the NaNo 'rebels' write fanfiction during the month... you're right, it's great practice. I have a good friend who writes craploads of fanfiction and has finally switched to her own writing, and she felt the fanfic was great practice. Culbert - You're in the same boat, eh? Maybe you two should team up in the forums and start a fanfic thread! Lydia - Revisions are a worthy task indeed! Truthfully, I *should* be doing revisions... but I can't resist the lure of NaNo... can't... resist...! Misha – Ack, I know what that’s like! I could never have done NaNo during university. Good luck with the exams!
