~NaNoWriMo

Anyone here ever join National Novel Writing Month or another form of writing in the month of November? There are some for children's books, illustrations, etc.

I've done NaNo a couple of years. I did fine the first year, but then life got in the way the second year and I was unable to finish.

This will sort of be my fourth year to do it. I say "sort of" because I'll start on my novel before the end of the month and just get my 50k in. But I've completed three 50k stories already.

That's great, Cassidy! Have you sent anything out for publishing? What genre do you work in?

I've published three stories. I work in science fiction, horror, and erotica--and combinations of those. I've written several other things are well, I just need to get them edited and out.

That's awesome. I'll have to look them up.

It's my 5th year doing NaNo!!! I did the camp this past summer too and it was my most successful nano run--ever, lol. I actually made my word goal which never happens when I tackle a nano.

Awesome, Tanya. What Don't you do? lol

NaNo helps me stay accountable. I know there are groups out there that encourage one another and sometimes meet during these but I've never made it to any due to my three (four, if you include my husband) kids.

I've been thinking about attempting NaNo again this year to finish up my novel.

Either of you ladies plan on jumping on the wagon again this year?
