I think you should give it a whirl. I'm going to leave big notes around the place that I won't be updating any fanfic in November, but the novel I'm thinking of doing in November is for internet posting anyway, so people should get a daily update of that story instead. I am really jittery about it, but I think it'll be a great experience, and I know there's loads of wonderful support here. And I am so going to need that to make it to the end! As long as real life isn't too bad, I think you should try it. If it's not working out, you can always stop. Imogen

Ok, everyone in my dorm is pestering me to give it a try, so I think I will...but now I'm not sure what to write about. I was looking through my idea notebook, and I can't decide. Fantasy book with elements of Greek mythology revolving around two brothers and their discovery of an amulet ( It sounds cliche, it really does....) or A narrative loosely based on my high school experiences that could give Dawson's Creek a run for it's money. or A really cheesy romance novel plot bunny that's been jumping around my head for the past two years. Yeah. Well. Anyway, I thought I'd seek some more guidance while I procrastinate the term paper I'm supposed to be writing ~Starrika

I know what you mean. I've got two bunnies and one is biting harder than the other. The problem is that the bunny with the teeth is the un-postable online one, because it's a story that *might* one day be able to be published. And one of the points of NaNoWriMo (for me) is to be able to post daily... *beats off bunny with stick* HELP! Imogen

Damned bunnies. *twacks them* Hey, I should make that an emoticon. But yeah, I too feel your plight. I've had a story in my mind for the past couple of months, and now that it's coming closer to November, I'm severly going off the plot. So I've had ideas for another one, and though I like it better because it's less challenging (means I don't have to invent a whole new planet ), I'm still stuck on the main plot bit. I always find that I'm fine with making up the tiny bits of plot, and linking it all together... it's just the main stream that pulls everything together that I *can't make up*. Grrrrrrr. But also a quick note, that you can do fanfiction for the novel. Doesn't have to be original. Despite the ness, I'm still majorly looking forward to this. ^_^ -Jules. xxx

Wooohooo! Good for you Bella. Another one for insanity is always good! If anyone needs any webspace to post it, just yell. I can always create a bit of space here somewhere. Imogen

C'mon, Liz, you can do it! You're a Gryffindor! Who needs a plot anyway? Imogen

I just heard about NaNoWriMo and I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to do it. The thing is I want to start a live journal to sort out my thoughts and plot outlines for November and I was wondering if someone could get me the code. I'm pretty much broke at the moment since school just started and all and even if I wasn't I'm really wary about using my credit card over the net. You ARE allowed to invite people to join and I was just wondering if maybe someone would take pity on poor little me? My email is trademark_angel@hotmail.com if someone decides I'm a worthy cause... Thanks, Birdie Ps. I love the Harry/Ginny smilie! ! Oh and Imogen? Your fic's are awesome, update soon!
