Ugh. With all the other writing I should be doing, this doesn't seem likely for me this year. I might do the NaBloPeMo or whatever the blogging version is. I did that in November '08 ... so, we'll see.
Where are my NaNoWriMo peeps at?
- Thread starter star
- Start date
I got into it last year, and I'm planning to do it again.
As for software, I was using PageFour because it was the closest thing to a Windows equivalent of Scrivener, which is a popular program for novelists working on Macs.
Now they've announced Scrivener for Windows. It won't be ready for purchase until early next year, but they're going to have a public beta available in time for NaNoWriMo. So I'm planning to use that.

Every year I think about participating then I chicken out. I'm lazy and that seems like too much for me to want to do.
Yeah, I've wanted to do this several years now but the timing just never seems to work. I'll be so busy with schoolwork I can't imagine participating this year. Good luck to everyone else, though!

Thanks for the link. I have dl'd PageFour and I'm playing with it right now.
Alright, for those who are throwing caution (and sanity) to the wind and participating this year:
What genre are you writing in?
I know it's cliched, being a Trek forum, but I am in fact doing sci-fi myself. I'm just curious if anyone is venturing out of the genre and tackling something like fantasy or modern fiction, etc?
If I actually work up the courage to do it, my genre will be straight-up heroic fantasy. My idea's a mash-up of Celtic mythology, Arthurian legend, real world history (mostly the Norman invasion of Ireland), and a little bit of Frank Herbert's Dune.
I've got the plot pretty much figured out, I'm just too much of a wimp to actually put pen to paper (figuratively speaking).

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's as if the person who came up with this wasn't someone with exams.
I have been working on a concept book idea for fun and enjoyment but the works keep getting lost in N-space so I have given up but the book idea would be...
"abstract non-linear partial differential equations in relative matrix vector fields"
i know what you mean RJdemonicus about the subject being too heave ,, I have had to invent a few.. a list of new symbols to make the book exist at times...
but the current work is the 64 I-ching / twenty five rune cross referencing correspondence in angelical alphabetic form.. the problem is the extra twenty sixth letter in the English language that I was brought up on conflicting with the runic/angelical alphabet... It will work I tell you LOL

Nice links! I'll have to check those out.
I don't think I'll ever do it. More likely to attempt to grow a mustache during Movember.
You could write about this attempt. And its later evolution into an independent sentient lifeform.
I'm going to take a stab at it this year. Unfortunately, there's about a day to go and I still have no plot idea.
Eh,, just pants it and see how it goes. I'm doing sci-fi myself. I'm combining two things I love the most- sci fi and the Gilmore Girls.
Nah. I ain't a writer, and have no desire of becoming one. This month for me is about losing weight. First and foremost.
Movember has never really appealed to me because it would mean I would have to shave more, not less.
I tried NaNoWriMo last year, but I got too busy and couldn't finish. This year I won't be able to because my thesis is due in mid-December and I'm behind schedule. (Maybe I can make that count...a novel about the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act...)
Since I'll be done with school next semester, I'm definitely going to give it a try for next year!
