Okay, so I signed up for NaNoWriMo but I think I might have been smoking crack when I did that. First of all, I just wrote a 50k book in five weeks (I mean just like four days ago I wrote the end) and I didn't particularly enjoy the experience. In fact burning my inner thighs with cigarettes probably would have been equally as pleasurable. But then a few days later what do I do? I sign up to do it again...on purpose!
Maybe I should be writing BSDM since it turns out that I'm some kind of masochist.
But now the thing is done and I feel committed, as well as needing to be committed, so now I have to actually really decide to write one particular thing. Which may not sound that hard but really is for me. Especially after I just finished another book. It usually takes me months to settle down and choose a new WIP from my pool of hundreds of first chapters that I never developed any farther. And I usually skip from one to the other for at least three months before making that kind of decision. But at least I have a few weeks.
So who else is doing this thing? Is it your first time or are you a native NaNoer. Anyone got any tips for a person with chronic SUFT syndrome? (Chronic Signing Up For Things Syndrome, very tragic. Spread the awareness.)
Song of the day- Unwell, Matchbox Twenty. I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell.
Quote of the day- To follow, without halt, one aim: There's the secret of success.

Lol. Writing starts to feel like your running on one of those wheels that gerbils(sp?) do. But then again I love it.
To answer the question I do plan to do NaNo this year again. Last year I failed horribly. I eeked out 24k and didn't finish the book until March the next year. This year I'm going to be an honorary type memeber. I won't be starting from scracth but I still want to have 50k words by the end of the month.
sidenote: I just finished 70 days of Sweat. You're not the only one. You have company in the crack writing house.
lol, Mel. Why do we do it? The mind boggles. And hubby will be TDY during that month too. Fun stuff.
I'm not joining you...
Actually, I'll join you in spirit. Will you change your writing habits? Will we see you in chat still? Keep us NON Nanos posted. I'm anxcious to see your first published novel. It really will be wonderful.
Of course I will be Morgan. I'm incapable of writing without live chat. Are you kidding?
Aww, thanks Irish, you're sweet.
I did the NaNo thing for two years and loved it. Sure it was a lot of stress. That's why last year I didn't participate.
One of the things I love about NaNo is that I never plan ahead. I let my brain get its inspiration and just write. :D
That's cool. I don't know exactly how I'm going to do it.
I'm caving out this year too. Didn't we JUST finish fast draft??? Anyway, GH is coming up and that's the priority this year.
As always, love ya babe *grin*
