It's NaNoWriMo time again!
So who's with me?

The site is back up, and if you have an account, you can sign in and see all the nice changes they made to the profile. And if you don't have one? Go for it!

Just remember, you can't start writing, yet.

So what can you do?

You can fill out the questions in the community profile.
You can make an outline, or a character list, or you can use the Snowflake method, which fleshes out quite a bit before you begin writing.

Feel free to introduce yourself here, or over there, now that the Forums are open. Ask questions, friend people (I'm elfflame there, too), all that great stuff.

And happy writing! :D

	Wheee! I'm so excited! Now I just need to finish all of my fest fics in October so that I can focus on NaNo... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Heh. Yes. Me, too. I'm working on my Snapely Holidays fic at the moment, and I've already finished my October D_D. But I still have to do my November and December D_Ds, and I have two gift fics in the next two months, too... sighs (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes ... I think that if I can get through four fics in October, then I can manage to do NaNo... eep. On the plus side, all that writing should help me get up to a good word/day speed! :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I know what you mean. But at the same time, writing a bunch of shorter stories isn't quite the same as writing a long fic. At least I'm confident that I've got enough story for my Nano. :D I should start posting links for prep-work sites... I found a link to a toy to help you set up your outline yesterday.

	I can't decide if I want to do this. It seems like my November becomes crazy insane if I commit to things in that month. at lease I have plenty of time to decide. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	elfflame 2008-09-27 01:22 pm UTC (link)
	It's hard to decide. It's a big commitment. I only decided because Draco insists I have to write this one. ;) Sev gets a part. :D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sev's going to get slapped around over here. He's not wanting to cooperate with me. head/desk I might have to withdraw from this fest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hugs tight I'm sorry, hon. Would a different angle help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snapesgirl_62 2008-09-27 01:31 pm UTC (link)
	A completely different set of prompts would do. I cannot come up with anything from the suggestions. I pushed the line on my other fic, but at least that fest piece one of the suggestions was humor. Humor I can do. I need to email the mods and have them ask some questions. the current header for ij: InsaneJournal Tweak says, "ooo snake" seems apprpriate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elfflame 2008-09-27 02:45 pm UTC (link)
	snugs I'm sorry, hon. I would definitely suggest contacting the mods. LOL (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	snapesgirl_62 2008-09-27 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	I've got an email written. I really hope they are alright with humor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yay for the site being back up! :D goes to look (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hmmm. Not sure if I'll still be alive at the end of November if I take up the challenge once more. It's, like, my most hectic month of the year for some godforsaken reason. But oh, the temptation! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	elfflame 2008-09-27 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	I know the feeling. But I will say the two times I've managed it, it's been worth it. Hard work, but well worth it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stonegrad 2008-09-27 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yes, absolutely. I shall have to ponder this for a while, see if I get any really good ideas that refuse to let me chicken out this year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elfflame 2008-09-27 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	That does help, yes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
