I am also participating in NaNoWriMo this year (as I do every year), but unlike you I am not going to record it on my BZP blog. I used to do that, but this year I think I'll be too busy in November to blog about it on BZP, mostly because I'll have a bunch of other things going on next month that will eat up most of my free time.

 

As for planning, I'm doing something a little different from what I normally do this year. I'm writing a bunch of short stories set in the novel's setting to help me worldbuild and get to know the characters better, which I've heard other writers recommend but which I've never done before myself.

 

I must say that, so far, this is infinitely superior to my original method of worldbuilding, so maybe I'll make this part of my normal writing method (at least when I'm writing in a new world).

 

Anyway, good luck with your novel, Jalina. NaNoWriMo is always tons of fun, especially if you succeed.

 

-TNTOS-

I've never done it before, but I intend to this year; while it will require putting the writing of my epics on a delay (and I'll still need to squeeze in hosting time for games and such here), I'm hoping I can do it.

 

Since it's my first year participating though, I won't be adding any restrictions to it.

It's my first year too, although I am not using it to write a novel but instead using it to finish all my writing projects for the past year or so. I do need to make a blog post about that soon, don't I...?

I tried last year, and suffice to say it was a half-hearted effort. And that's probably an overstatement. My goal was to do better planning this year so I'd have a much better sense of direction, but that didn't end up happening either. None of that matters, though, since I'll be far too busy this month doing other things. Writing for fun just isn't in the cards right now.

 

Good luck to those who are participating, though!

Ive been wanting to write something, anything, for a while, and it sounds like this is just what I need ^^

Good luck to ya,  thanks for sharing this with us!

Thanks for all the support guys!

 

"Thanks for sharing this with us..." Yeah, I kinda noticed that after I posted, 90% of the blogs suddenly started featuring NaNo. Just seemed kinda funny to me.
