I have done it two years in a row and this year I am giving it a go as well. This time around I will write an alternative version of the novel I am working on, the main characters are turned into hitmen and the story revolves around their interaction. Oddly enough my nano productions are very often considerably superior to my other writings.

I just tried to log in to the site and an error message came up that said the site was overloaded and I'd have to try later. I just discovered it recently, but I guess it's pretty popular, huh?

The servers went down, so last I heard they were working to get them back up. They're putting updates on Facebook.

I'm looking forward to NaNo, too. I did it last year for the first time and got a pretty decent novel out of it. This year, other than one screenplay, I haven't been finishing too much of anything. NaNo will get me moving again. I can't wait!

Two developments:
1) I bought a NaNoWriMo shirt and it came in the mail yesterday. Yay!
2) I accidentally washed the USB drive that has my novel from last year and my writing software on it. Boo!
I managed to find the drive before it got heated up in the dryer. And I was able to move all the files from it onto my desktop. I don't think the drive was damaged, but there were some moments of panic last night, let me tell you!

Yay!!! I'm sooo excited!
I registered a week or two ago - I'm using the same screen name there as here - rgod. So please add me to your groups - if you want to!
stellaluna - I'm glad you didn't lose your files. I'm so thankful for USB drives; remember the old floppies? 5 1/4 or 3 1/2? I remember having to spread out information across disks, then losing the first one and not being able to retrieve data. I hated it!
writerchick - did you do it by yourself or with a group last year? Did you end up editing your novel when you were done?
So, would you guys like to do a thread here or there? Or both places? I'd love to connect there with anyone here - I think there is a groups feature if I remember correctly. ScarletFury, I'll definitely connect with you.
By the way, there is a story thread in the Humor and Games folder called "Cliffhanger" - feel free to add if you want to contribute to the saga ...

I did it by myself. But I joined the website writing.com and got feedback on the novel. I revised it in January and sent it out in February. A publisher bought it Monday before last! I'll be returning the signed contract in a few days.

Sorry to hear about the drive. I'm glad you were able to retrieve those files. I know how scary that is. I used to write everything longhand. My apartment burning down cured me of that habit. Have you thought about e-mailing your work to yourself? Yahoo and Gmail have free accounts that have tons of storage.

i'm gearing up for nano again....trying to get mentally ready for it. i have zero idea what i am going to write about though.
i am toying with the idea of NOT trying to figure out a topic until november 1st. that will be a new thing for me.
hurry up november!
I'm doing just the opposite. I won't finish if I don't know the story beforehand. I was very excited to finally break my story yesterday. My goal is to write a decent first draft. I'm going to be posting it in a writer's workshop for feedback as I go. I'll revise in Jan. with the intention of submitting it in Feb.
Until this contest - I also do their screenplay version - I would write by the seat of my pants. I have a ton of unfinished work for my trouble, too. But with the quick deadline, I found that I have to have some type of direction going in.

Okay, for anyone who hasn't logged in yet this year or signed up, you'll probably want to do it tomorrow. The first few days of NaNoWriMo are insanely crazy on their site and it can be really hard to get in. Also, there is a Facebook app that will keep track of your wordcount and it's up and ready to go.
