Who's mad enough to try another stab at NaNoWrimo this year? I remember several from Bay12 doing it last year, didn't we have an irc channel for wordwars and general rambling? I didn't get anywhere near finished last time, but maybe 2012 is the year to go gold.
In case this is new and confusing to anyone:
NaNoWrimo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and is this increasingly huge community-driven contest/challenge to write 50,000 words, a novel, in the month of November. There's great resources and tools on the actual
site, and real-life gatherings in most major cities where you can go and write, talk about writing, and imbibe ludicrous quantities of coffee and tea.
But hang on... November is 3+ weeks away! Why am I jumping the gun with this post?
Planning. I'm sure loads have started Nano on the day, or even day two or three and still finished. But if you have time to think about what you're writing and properly plan it out, it's a lot less headache inducing than getting to page 54 and trying to find the PERFECT name for the supersecret hidden castle of doom that houses the main antagonist. After 73 hours of sleep deprivation and a 3-quart mug of java.
IRC#nano for those who use irc.darkmyst.net server
