For those not aware, nanowrimo is short for “national novel writing month” and it’s where you try to write a 50,000 word novel(la) between november 1st and november 30st. There seem to be a bunch of writers hanging around SDMB, so I was hoping that some others would be participating! Since I’m a non-member, I can’t do a search for other posts about this- so I’m sorry if I’m repeating anything! Also, I wasn’t sure if this should go in CS or IMHO, so mods, please move if appropriate. I’m doing nanowrimo for the first time and I’m wondering who else is out there… ---

I’m not planning anything, but seeing how I was re-inspired to write somewhere around November of last year, I’ll probably at least try to keep a rough wordcount. (Being the rather distractible person that I am, I have a half a dozen little projects all languishing in limbo at the moment.) ---

Try [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=340646), dear 🙂 Probably didn’t find it because it is currently in MPSIMS… ---

Moderator mumbles: While this thread would be acceptable in either forum, since there’s already a well-developed thread in MPSIMS, I’m gonna close this one. Follow **Shadez** ’s link to add your comments.
