CCtheBrave good luck! I've signed up before, but this is the first year I plan to actually commit.

Ah, I'd usually be all about discussing our projects, but suddenly I am unsure of what mine will be. My initial plan was to work on my Nano Camp novel and add 50 000 more words to it. But last week I started another project - it was supposed to be just a short story for a forum writing challenge. But thing are getting out of hand, lol and I am now on page 23 of my document. So for now I will just let things go their way and decide on Nov 1st. I may end up as a Rebel again, working on more than one project.

By the way, do you know if the Nano Rebels, lol? You can check them on the forum. They are group of people who commit to write the 50 000 words, but in a slightly different way. Not a full novel, but a set of unrelated short stories, non-fiction works, or working on multiple projects.

I found you and added you!

Yay, thanks for the add! I added you in return.

And wow, you're amazing! Just checked your profile. You're a winner in so many years in a row. If I get down during this year's Nano, I'll come take a look at your profile to inspire me. And I forgot to say it in my previous comment - congrats on your upcoming book!

Hey! I have two new buddies! Thanks, buddies!! Let's keep each other motivated!!! I am writing romance this year, which is going to be a disaster because I'm not a big romance fan, and I definitely have no personal experience in anything romantic. So... Yeah... Don't know how this is going to go....

Every time I write I fall somewhere in the romance genre. Lately it's been paranormal romance. Have an outline for two novels and have started working on one of them. I am definitely goingredients to need to be pushed to finish because honestly I have started writing stories I can't say how many times and I never finish and end up scrapping them.

In any case, my area is having its nanowrimo kickoff on Wednesday and I have to say I'm pretty stoked.

Lol, I thought it was something like going ready... going super ready, or something! :D Anyway, I liked the sound of it!

I hope to use Nano for the same reason as you, TrishaAnn92... I am a serial starter, but I have never finished a longer story.

I have no idea, this phone though has been throwing out random autocparents left and right.
I am as well the farthest I have ever made it was around 20,000 words and my dad was in the works of trying to help me get it published until he decided it wasn't a good idea. :( Hopefully nanowrimo and having an author friend who is willing to help me will give me the boost of motivation that I need.

I need to call my autocparents. I probably don't talk to them as much as I should.

See?! Good grief. Of course using my phone on this site hopped up on pain meds doesn't do much as far as autocorrect is concerned either. :lol:

I remember!!! My favorite autocucumber of all times!
I was trying to write "college students" but it somehow came up "colored students" which was NOT the meaning I was going for...
Trisha, you should write your whole book on your phone just to see what kind of gems you churn out then. :D
