Submit your word counts here and I will attempt to post the data in some manner. We're a little...seat of the pants without NaNoBot, but he's not ready for the new site for 2017.

If you've never been here before, this weird acronym stands for National Novel Writing Month, an attempt to get writers to stop procrastinating and using perfectionism as an excuse. Don't worry, just because it says National doesn't mean the rest of the world can't participate, it just means America thinks it IS the whole world.

The purpose is to write 50,000 words (of dubious quality) in one month's time. Editing is the enemy, and speed is your friend. You have checks watch like a week to figure out what to write. Enjoy your last break!

Welcome to the once-winners! Nanobot won't work here. If another solution can be implemented we will do so.

We have a discord server available for use, quote this sentence for an invite

link. What is discord, you ask? It's irc for the modern gamer. What is irc you ask? It's an internet chatroom. With voice options if you own a microphone doodad. And if you use your computer, video screen sharing option for your friend groups. What do you do there? Well, mostly we complain about the writing process. But also we make fun of ourselves and the world.

Useful tools:

Software:
Scrivener
Q10
Write or Die


Plotting:
No Plot? No Problem
How to Outline During NaPloYoNoMo
Snowflake Method
Adoptions: on the NaNo forums, it's traditional to leave some ideas that other people can pick up and run with. Adopt a plot, adopt a setting, adopt a title, and many more!

Sprints and Wordcounts:
NaNo Sprints: start your engines! Get off to the races with some NaNo sprints, where you compete with other NaNoers to write a bunch of words in a short interval. Also on Twitter.
Backwards NaNo: a slightly different way of managing your word count. It's amortized! That means for the first two weeks, you're writing a lot more than everyone else. But by the last day, you only have to write a single word!

 

[Inugami]

Glad to see this pop up here, goal is to participate as well once things start to settle down.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Im participating again this year for the third year in a row. TeamFanFicNano.

 

[Cyndane]

Thread title is an accurate description of me T_T

I've got an outline, but this will be my first attempt at NaNoWriMo. Normally I stick to writing drabbles and the like.

 

[Sch1sm]

Still haven't planned anything and there's 1 week. Definitely gonna be crying.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

If I remain jobless by next month, I'm in.

 

[PKthndr]

I finished it last year. Gonna try again this year. I'm pretty excited.

 

[FiddyShadeJ]

Excited to give this a shot. It's finally giving me motivation to get off my ass and write.

 

[Kalor]

I'm pretty excited to start writing next week. I really like my idea this year.

 

[plagiarize]

Still in for this! Hello everyone!

 

[PSqueak]

Re-Enlisting as to not have a excuse to chicken out!

 

[Karu]

Still participating!

 

[Shinogu]

All right, I am in!

 

[Dineren]

I'm going to give it a shot!

 

[petitmelon]

I'm having a bitch of a time with my outline, but as always, I'm in!

 

[Charlotte Lucas]

I joined a local group so I'll actually be accountable this year. Something is getting on that page whether I win or not.

 

[EverythingShiny]

Still in! Planning on going to some local write-ins this year, as well. I'm going to try and outline some of my novel this weekend, but we'll see how that goes. The year I won I was a pantser, soooooo...

 

[cake]

Nice to see this pop up so soon. I've been working on an idea for mine, so I'm excited to start it up and follow along.

 

[Deleted member 3208]

Guess I'm in after all. After taking everything into consideration, an almost full rewrite needs to be done. That said, I'm taking it easy this year; not going to rush this.

 

[Ogodei]

Definitely want to get in on this.

Want to write a story about two high school friends who loved 4chan, and one of them gets sucked down the red-pill-verse while the other grows out of it and takes a sharp turn left. Then they meet up at a Spencer rally or something, idk.

Kind of story that needs to be told these days, and something i know a lot about: wasting time on the internet. Write what you know, after all.

 

[Kalentan]

Hey guys! Still totally in!!!!

 

[MilkBeard]

Definitely still on for NaNo in a few days.

 

[Regulus Tera]

STILL ON THIS just need to finish the outline

 

[Plasticine]

New forum, same misery. Let's do this.

 

[Lightningboalt]

I'm gonna give it a try, as always. Got a retail job that's gonna make my November hell so I doubt I'll succeed, but hey. Still worth a shot!

 

[Delio]

Nice to have Nano here as well. Already in with not even that much planning.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Aha, was wondering where this thread would be.

Still in. Have detailed some ideas on discord, going to at least try.

 

[Deleted member 290]

Skipped it last year, but I haven't nearly been writing enough so I'm going to use this to kick start my creative energies and hope I don't burn out (again, lol). Should probably get cracking on that outline...

 

[hurroocane]

I failed nanowrimo 3 years in a row but I'm still going to try again this year.

 

[LSauchelli]

Ok, going to complete Nanowrimo this time!

 

[Weiss]

I want to try. I've failed to even do that for years now and I want to make something of myself.

 

[Alcoremortis]

Re-enlisting again. I'm gonna do it! Probably! Might be having a small panic attack about needing to start next week with no outline, but it'll be fine.

 

[Timu]

I'm so in, let's do this. Already got my adult raunchy comedy ready to go!

 

[petitmelon]

I give up. I'm going to type my outline because my handwritten versions have become too messy for my tastes and I am not rewriting it for an upteenth time.

 

[Yeef]

Still on the fence about doing it this year. I feel like my time would be better spent doing other coding/art projects with the same consistency.

 

[1000 Needles]

I was going to use the implosion as an excuse to chicken out, but... I'm gonna try. I don't expect to make it though. Setting a personal goal of 25k words, for my inaugural attempt

 

[ItRhymesWithDoom]

Aye, we shall try again, Captain.

*ship blows up 5 minutes later*

 

[Timu]

I failed nanowrimo 3 years in a row but I'm still going to try again this year.

Funny enough I failed my 1st 3 years attempts, and then got it right on the 4th one and did well ever since then.

 

[Midramble]

Back in the game!

I failed nanowrimo 3 years in a row but I'm still going to try again this year.

Makes two of us. Chin up though. Got fellow NaNoers who failed more times but still ended up published writers.

 

[Nezumi]

OK. Let's do this! Now we only need to find a way to bring NaNo bot over.

Edit: And I need to find someone to make me a Lying Cat avatar...

 

[Deleted member 6573]

.

 

[Charade]

Now I can finally post in a Nano thread without the guilt of nanobot registering me! Huzzah

 

[Servbot24]

I'm joining with the expectation of failing. I just want an excuse to do some writing.

 

[Ainaurdur]

I have been trying to ignore the NaNo emails I have been receiving. I feel like I wouldn't have time and have done zero real planning... but I am still so tempted to try anyway.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

Phew, I was afraid this would have gotten too buried and I wouldn't find it. Looking forward to Nano in.... oh god less than a week....

 

[Deleted member 4532]

I was looking for this! Watching this thread.
I got some great ideas I've been jotting down lately. I also got my No Plot? No Problem! kit from Amazon 2 days ago. We are in business.

 

[Timu]

I'm going to try to streamroll through this!

 

[SegFault]

yissss

nanoera lets do this

Spoiler

until i write 3000 words and give up like every year ive done it

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Still in! Super excited for my local kickoff event coming up.

 

[FlowersisBritish]

I should try for some local Nano stuff but the ML in my region has been pretty inactive.
