I'm in, though I do not know the way.

Err, sorry. that was JRRT breaking through from the other side. Or possibly Peter Jackson.

I'm hoping to have a bash at NaNo this year, but I don't know if life will let me. At least my family know what November brings, and tend to cut me a little more slack than they do the rest of the year.

 

[R.T James]

You know what I got a story idea I want to try out. Screw it. I heard theres this group for this? Can I be invited?

I am so used to juggling anyways throwing a bit more onto the plate would be nice. I need an excuse to start this bloody train wreck of a story anyways.

 

[Harpo]

I'll give it a go, although am torn between two opposite ends of my endlessly expanding epicopera

 

[The Bluestocking]

I might do it. I usually toddle along like a tiny snail with my writing but honestly I need a good kick in the posterior to finish my darn WIP.

(Yes @allmywires and @Juliana - I just might do it. Need to clear my schedule in November...)

 

[Tim Murray]

I'm in the middle of muddling through marketing my first book, and working on number four in the Thumar series, 16K into it.

 

[Harpo]

I have now abandoned that for this year.
Instead I shall write the first draft of my autobiography (covering the decade I spent living in London)

If there is space please add me the group.

I think you're in the wrong business if you have to use psychological self-help tactics to force yourself to write. So no, I won't be doing NaNOWriMo.

I don't know. My other half has already bought a whip to keep me on track and I've stocked up with matchsticks so that I can banish sleep.

Let us be honest. The whip was bought as a reward for when you complete your daily word count. Candles come latter.

I wasn't going to say. This being a family friendly forum and all that.

Good for you.
But, more seriously, use the best writing/production method for you. Still, NaNo works for some people. There have been some books which came to be published after being started on NaNo, so there's room for different mindsets and mentalities in the 'business'. Don't judge too harshly.

What does it say about me that I read that as "sheep"?

 

[Luiglin]

Don't worry I typed it and read it as 'sheep'. Again family friendly forum and all that

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Ahh, so it just makes me a mind-reader, then. That's ok.

*suddenly is trying to interpret everything 5 different ways and becoming agitated*

I wasn't trying to be rude. But I think if your daily thought in the morning is, "Ah sh*t, I need to write 2,000 words, I hate everyone," maybe you don't actually like writing? For me, I know it wouldn't work, because

A. I hate being told what to do with a passion, and
B. It starts to feel like work, and I don't like working.

Let's face it. No one else likes working either, except for the 1% that lies to you.

I have three main principles for success.
1. Don't let other people tell you what to do, but
2. Always be asking for advise and guidance, and
3. Do what you enjoy, because then you're not working.

Cheers!
