Happy NaNoWriMo!

I’m sure a lot of you are pounding out words per minute for National Novel Writing Month. This year’s the first year I could’ve joined up (I didn’t even know what NaNoWriMo was, this time last year). I didn’t join up this year, though, because I’m taking my own slower-than-nano pace at Five Rings, but making solid progress none-the-less, and I have a lot of real life going on, too. Excuses, I know. I actually had a NaNo book idea, too…

I suppose I can make any month a NaNo month. If I wanted to be really hardcore, I could use February :D

But anyway, I wish all of you luck racing to 50k words. I’ll be cheering you on here. From the sidelines. Where it’s safe.

And I’ll be working on my 5-Rings.com website.

And I’m going to get my characters and locations pages updated before proceeding with posting more scene summaries. I’ve been putting it off.

Aww, but Nano’s been such a blast so far. I hope you manage to make it into the game next year though. You might be surprised just how much more productive a little friendly competition makes you. :P

Hey, you’ve got a plan. Sticking to it is all that matters.

@ Steph 1: Hummmm. I must admit I’m still curious about it. The more I hear about the website, the cooler it sounds. I want to experience how community-oriented it really is.

@ Plot Whisperer: Hi! I promise to stick with this plan to the bitter end; Kicking and screaming if I must. :D

Hey, just shuffling through blogs and happened to stop by. If you’re thinking about it, you should give nano a shot next year! I failed at it last year, but this year it got me successfully through my long-procrastinated first sci-fi novel. :D

I definitely want to give it a shot next year! My idea for this year’ll have had an additional 12 months to gestate. And this year I was kicking myself for not joining in.
