If you've never heard of NaNoWriMo, it means National Novel Writing Month and takes place in November every year. The aim is to write a 50,000 word novel in that month. You can have done planning before NaNo, but not the actual writing.

I've attempted NaNo a few times since I joined back in 2006 (yes, my NaNo account - same username as here - says 2011 because I lost the login for my other account, but there wasn't anything to lose there anyway. So, onwards!)

The task of 50K words a month is doable for me, as  twice I've written a 70K word novel in a month -  one on my phone!  So as long as my schedule doesn't explode, I should be able to tackle this task. 

I've had the novel I'm planning to tackle this NaNo planned for a few months now. Yes, I have other books on the go and will get to them. Why am I planning to write this one? It's a new project and these characters JUST WON'T BE QUIET! They literally take over my brain in any quiet moment and start telling me about what is going on in their world. I need to get them down on... errr.. paper, or at least into screen pixels  :) 

If you have a NaNo account, shoot me a DM here or friend me there so we can cheer each other on!

May your words flow and your sentences pithy!
