NaNoWriMo 2018 - General discussion and participants
I'm currently taking part in an Inktober-inspired daily building challenge in one of the video games I play, so I'm afraid I intend to sit NaNoWriMo out this year to avoid burning myself out. I'll ...

I'm in. I have this idea popping in my idea since ages, I'll be trying to give it a shape.

I forgot that the NaNoWriMo was coming up so quickly, so I don't have a book plot yet. I am sit down on November 1st and stare at an empty page ...

What are we doing for National Novel Writing Month this year?
How about a community short story?
Someone starts it running with an enigmatic sentence, maybe with a character limit (100) per person and this has to be finished till the end on the event. Best line ...

This is gonna be my second attempt at NaNoWriMo. Last year there was a lot going on, I wasn't really enamoured with the characters I was writing, and I ran out of steam about a third of the way ...

I'm participating too! :) It's my third attempt. I 'won' last year, but I started with too little of a plan and never really found the heartbeat of that story despite the goal being reached. This year ...

I’m thinking of joining again but to edit rather than write. I finished last year and am now on the fifth (hopefully final) draft of the same novel. There are still some things left to add and switch ...

I'm gonna try. Don't know what kind of progress I can make between work and writing a thesis, but I'm actually curious to find out how much I can get done if all my off-duties hours go to this ...

I'm entering.
It'll be good to try something new. Never tried to write a whole novel in a month.

Are there any special plans for NaNoWriMo 2014?

I will be doing this year's NaNoWriMo. I have started several story ideas, but these story ideas don't go anywhere. I think I am just going to pick the one that seems to have the most complexity. It ...

This will be my second NaNoWriMo attempt, seeing as my first one crashed with my hard drive.

Are there any special plans for NaNoWriMo 2014?
I guess this is as good a place as any to point this out: There's an extended trial of Scrivener available, meant just for NaNoWriMo. Anyone who hasn't tried this yet, here's a great chance to test-...

Are there any special plans for NaNoWriMo 2014?
It has been said in the comments and I think it bears repeating in an answer that NaNo has its own set of forums and Q/A. There is a lot of internal support for NaNoWriters on their site. I don't ...
