So, for those of you who don't know NaNoWriMo, it's the National Novel Writing Month.  The goal is to write a 50k word novel in 30 days.  It doesn't have to be good, revision comes later.

I did one successfully back in 2007, and then was stuck in writer's block hell for the past 4 years.  This year, I'm ready to do it again, and am writing one based on DF, beginning on November 1st.  Eventually, the goal would be  to edit it  to make it both publishable and not run into copyright issues.  There aren't enough novels about dwarves out there!

I'll put each chapter as it's finished up here.  Anyone else in?

Do it!

I want to do it to continue my novel (currently 60k words) to get a huge draft that I can whittle down. I guess that's not part of the usual rules so not sure if I'm actually doing NaNoWriMo, but will be doing a LOT of writing that month anyways.

Plus, all-night writing parties are fun. Maybe on Bay12 doubly so?

I'd love to see it happen!

I've been tossing around a dwarves novel for ages. Jim C Hines writes great Goblin stories.  I want to do the same for Dwarves.

I'm afraid I've already committed myself to do a collection of short stories framed by the common narrative of a post-apocalyptic taxi driver, so I couldn't do a full-length DF novel.

However, thanks to you I am now going to include a dwarf story as part of the collection. I mean, really, once I got to thinking about dwarves and the phrase "cheese maker goes on a quest to milk a dragon on a drunken dare" crossed my mind, it was pretty much a given. 

At any rate, I suspect your dwarf story will turn out much cooler than mine, and I look forward to reading it!

Also: all-night writing parties are awesome, and I am so down that you might say I've dug too deep.

I do it myself every year since 2007.  Still haven't managed to finish but I've been doing better every year.  This year doesn't look good either,  I'm in the process of relocating and and the new Elder Scrolls comes out on the 11th.

But I'm gonna try!

The only thing stopping me form having "Urist McNyx cancels NaNoWriMo: interrupted by Skyrim"  is "Urist McNyx cancels play Skyrim: Interrupted by crappy computer"

I need an upgrade myself.  CPU and Ram are getting a bit dated.  The video card is a 460 GTX though, so I do have that going for me.
I've worked out a 500 dollar upgrade, so we'll have to see how that pans out.
