Poll: National Novel Writing Month Has Begun!!!

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Interesting. This might be the motivation I need to get that novel done! Then again it looks like it might involve socialising with people, so I might pass...

[EDIT]

To anyone who's done it, do you have any tips

I had a crack today to see what number of words I could put down in my free time in a day. Roughly 1,000 words in my 1 hour train trip to work. Not bad, but probably not up to NaNoWriMo level.

While the word count's never been a problem for me - I can churn out 8k a day if I'm loose, 4-5k if I'm actually trying to edit - I like planning, prepping and world-building my stories too much to fit it all into a single month, and I'm always far too busy in October to pre-plan properly.

On the bright side, I've almost finished a rough draft of a novel, so... no real stress for NaNo anyway. Gonna be stuck editing that mess for a couple of months at least, might just churn some stuff out for NaNo for a little fun.

After more than 25 years spent trying to be a writer and only ever getting worse at it, I finally quit last year and haven't looked back. So NaNoWriMo can go fuck in the "off" direction.

What- me, bitter?
