The National Novel Writing Month is coming up!  For the ones who don't know/don't remember what it is, here a short explanation.

In November, people all around the world will start writing again and we're all going to try to reach 50000 words before the month ends! Not because we're such good writers, but because we like writing and to poke our muse. When you have to write almost 1700 words a day you can't be picky and you can't go back and delete a part you don't like, because we all want to reach that 50000! Everyone who reaches that is a winner!

So last year [livejournal.com profile] akiko88 and I joined and we won! We had so much fun that we're going to join again this year!

And not just me and Aki-chan! [livejournal.com profile] lovefujitez [livejournal.com profile] psiten and [livejournal.com profile] calathiel are going to give it a shot as well. [livejournal.com profile] dark_kana tried last year, but unfortunetly she didn't make it to the 50000 words. Will you try again this year?

So everybody who writes, doesn't matter if you write fanfiction (you can write fanfiction for the NaNoWriMo too, I will do so!) join too!! It's really fun and it's a great experience!!

If you join, gimme a link to your account, so we can become friends on the NaNo site and support each other!

I've been thinking of joining this year as well. But I haven't decided yet, as University is really killing me and I actually think I won't even have time to write anything. So I'll never make it to the 50.000 words even if I don't delete anything or look back at the things I've written.
I do have an idea for a story though, so I might wanna try in the end.

I still got half a month to decide ^-^

The NaNoWriMo people always say that joining is more important than winning. If you join and try, you have at least tried and then it doesn't matter you didn't make it, and you can always try again next year ^_^

I would really like it if you joined, so if you do, let me know and I'll cheer for you ^_____^

Joining is more important that winning, that's sure. But I don't see a point in joining if I already know I won't be able to write any word. And joining without even writing is really pointless to me.
So, as soon as I know if I'll find time to "try", I'll decide whether I join or not. I actually think my papers are going to use up so much of my time, I won't have time to write anything besides that. (because I'll spend all my free time that's left hanging in front of the TV...?)

I think it'd be really fun to join and try though

That's true, no point in joining if you won't actually write XD It took me about 45 minutes a day, maybe that will help you in your decision. And on Saturdays for example I wrote more than the usual, so I didn't take that long on working days!

I am actually pretty interested in joining but I think I probably won't be able to make it to the 50,000 word count, mostly because school will suck up most of my time :/ I don't think I have a TeFu plot that can sustain me for such a long story either ^^;

That is what NaNo is all about. We all say we don't have time. I thought so too last year, but if you don't try and just do it, you will never know.
The story doesn't have to be great or perfect or anything. Nobody has to read it, not even you if you don't want to. After November you can throw it away, but if you reached the 50000 you will be really, really proud of yourself!

I suppose that's true...Argh, it'd suck if I didn't manage to make it in the end!>< I would need muse to be active the whole of November then! Shitz, gotta find a way of keeping it alive otherwise I am screwed! o_o

I need the weather to be more kind on me too; the heat's so stifling that I can't think at all!

Lol, everybody is always saying they can't and they don't have time. That is all what the NaNo is about. Because we all say so, we never try! So think about it, but also think about the fun!

You have a good point there...I suppose I ought to give it a try; let's hope muse and me hold out! ._. Haha, maybe I ought to use my the whole of my bday to write in that case instead of going out; I save money that way!

Rain rain please come and stay forever! I am dying from the heat and my brain's turning to mush!;____________________;

They say 'you have never lived if you have never tried' so I suppose I should give it a try ^^; I am freaking out already about the humongous monsterity of a task I just got myself into though >3<; Somehow feels kinda sad though to spend your bday at home in front of a computer. Oh well, not like there's anyone to go out with to celebrate anyway so I guess it all works out pretty well in the end ._.

*snatches it and makes it rain ove my building 24/7* I might just create a mantra of my own that goes along the lines of 'rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain rain', alternating that with 'cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool '

Good luck to all participating this year! Let's all do our best to reach the 50K mark. I am so nervous and excited at the same time.

Me too, since I don't really know how to finish my story, but I have ideas for the beginning. The end will come ^_^

Awesome! Good luck on that! I will try to write in English this year! Another minor problem for me, but I'll manage ^_^

Glad you understand it better now ^_____^

Waaaah, I want to join too.

But there's so much to do, I seriously doubt I'll have the time to write a thousand words every day. ;_; and I'd still have to think of a plot line. And keep up completing the chapters for should have never been found at the same time.... Don't think that would work...

But best of luck to you! ^_^

Thank you! I put my fanfiction aside in November and don't write anything else than my NaNo story. It's too bad you're so busy, I'm sure you would have loved it ^_^ And you have such great stories!

Good luck with that. ^^

... The only things I'll be writing are university papers, so I could probably never do it... >__<

Thank you!

The NaNoWriMo is meant as a nice start, also for people who never have written a story, but do want to try. A lot of people never start writing because they think they suck or because they don't have time. NaNo is for all of them, so they can start and try and nobody cares it sucks, because you tried and had fun ^_^
