NaNoWriMo update

National Novel Writing Month Participant 2005I have pretty much decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month again this year. I was in a NaNoWriMo chat room the other night, and while I didn’t stay long I was there long enough for someone to talk me out of my idea of doing a sequel with characters I created last year. NaNoWriMo is about challenging yourself, and so I need to go off in a new direction. I’m not sure what direction I need to go as of yet.

My cousin Ted, who participated last year, said on his blog that he doesn’t have enough time to participate this year. My response was that I seem to be more creative when I’m under stress and do my best work at times when I really need to be doing something else.

  • Awesome! I'm doing NaNoWriMo too. Any idea how many others off NiT are in this crazy challenge?

    Good luck :)

    I'll be doing NaNoWriMo too, thanks to you, John! I already signed up at the site and have got about 32 (handwritten) pages of character analysis. I can't wait to actually start the writing!
