So, we're now in what could be called September, and mainly because I've got nothing better to do, my thoughts turn to this years Nanowrimo.

For those not quite in the know, Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) is a competiton/event/thing that seemingly happens every November, where several thousand very silly people try and write a 50,000 word novel in 30-odd days. Yahtzee managed it last year with Fog Juice, and I intend to this year.

So who else is on board? I know its ridiculously early to start thinking about it, but 1.) people who might want to take part need more warning than I had last year 2.) Like I said, I've got nothing better to do.

Useful linkyness:

The official Nanowrimo site: Currently down, but when its alive again, you'll want to read it.

Fog Juice: Yahtzees entry from last year. It was good.

Custard Insurance Adjusters: Because this thread probably will go off-topic in five threads anyway

I would love giving it a shot, jumping the bandwagon!

[Otal Nimrodi]

Mad cacklings, eh?

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Spoon Poetic]

Good luck, you guys! I certainly couldn't write a novel, but I'll be happy to help anyone that's participating out in any way that I can, be it editing or constructive criticism, whatever.

[Icey]

I'll abuse that if I find the time to be criticized or edited between typing till my fingers bleed and taking care of the heir.

I'll pass... I've still got a lot to learn about the English language, plus I found that I prefer spending my time with designing stuff nowadays, which is somewhat bad because I suck at plenty of techniques I'd like to use, which further diminishes my incentive to write something of that size, plus I've gotta make preparations for moving to Stuttgart, plus I'll be beginning my studies soon, plus I'll have to make preparations for moving to the Ruhrarea shortly after that, plus I'm far too lazy, plus I don't get paid for it, plus minus, plus I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore, plus where am I? Eh...

[Zatoichi]

I find this interesting. I may even try to do it (doubt it though).

[SimeSublime]

Yahtzee managed it last year with Fog Juice, and I intend to this year.

To be honest, writing Fog Juice won't be that hard seeing as Yahtzee already did it
I think I'll sit it out, I'm not a writer. Plus, I'll be writing my thesis about then as it is.

[Slade]

I'm curious about it, but I don't know if I'll have the time, or the motivation and inspiration. It has been almost two years since I've written anything remotely substantial.

[Icey]

Just do it. It's how I'm going to write mine.

[Chyld]

Well, its mid October, I've actually signed up, I've still got no idea what I'm going to write about, and god help us I've still got no Internet in my house. Well done me!

[Icey]

I have most of my pre-writing schemes done, just need a little bit o' more research and planning and I'll be good to go.

[Slade]

I've not signed up, but I've been toying with a few ideas. One is a silly steampunkish thing that I was making up as I went along, but got hung up on the second paragraph, unable to figure out what my character should say.

[Icey]

Ha ha! I have begun and reached my daily quota!

My NaNoWriMo site
and
My LJ where I shall post what I write. On a DAILY basis. Yay!

[Chyld]

I finally found a sufficiently loopy place to start at, and although I've only pumped out 1000 words so far, rest assured there's already two counts of bestiality and at least half a dozen references to LSD. Its going to be a very fun novel.

When there's a way of getting stuff off of my laptop and onto the Internet, I'll take the Icey route and stick it in a blogspot blog.
