I'm officially in for NaNo, myself. There's a chapter in my area that I'm excited to meet for some writing sections. If it inspires to complete a book, then that's even better!

the reason for this is actually two reasons, the first is, it is Nanowrimo!! The second; Word Wars are hosted on the Nanowrimo chat channel on DeviantART.com's chat network. it keeps track of your wordcount and also keeps track of word wars word counts and word war time limits. In this case say a word war is one minute long, five people are taking part, to see their WPM; in my case I lead with 129WPM {with a lot of errors though in spelling and such} the next closest to me had around 80 I think, don't really remember.
On top of that the word wars when won award points, which are in this case the basic currency on DeviantART, in my case It let me get a 3 month premium membership and beta tester access. DeviantART also sees fanfics, and original fiction stories as a form of artwork. Known as Written Art, or Literature. We even have a category for it!

It's always good to have one more place to post. As for the Word Wars, I've never heard of them, but they sound interesting.

But for some weird reason, movie stills are considered offending ? Does not compute

I have a couple of friends who regurlary participate in NaNoWriMo. If I had the whole of November off I would probably join as well, just for the fun of it. However, I don't and thus no writing like crazy for me. Since I had to quit writing for the Femslash Little Bang last year I haven't written anything remotely long or finished anything at all... there are a few short challenge fics, but they usually don't get published anywhere else but the challenge comms simply cause they're not worthy of being let loose on the general public.
I'm currently toying with some ideas, and one is actually an original novel idea which sprang from my evening class concept design in which we had to create a character.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I don't have November off, either--in fact, quite the opposite. It's been a few years, though, so I'm gonna give it a whirl.

Edit: I don't have November off either. Adding insult to injury (or something like that), I'll be back in school then, too. Ah well. Who needs to sleep?

I'm not taking the month off from work to write. That's unrealistic. But I do think that it'll be a good exercise in learning to balance work with writing. So far it seems to be a partial problem for me, but this might be just what I need to break through that particular barrier.
Oddly enough, I use my lunches for writing. I judge a good lunch by whether or not I have cramp in my hand by the time I get back on shift. It's coming home and decompressing that usually gets me frustrated. Grr!

I LOVE Bermuda Triangle stories. I've always wanted to write something about the area, but with a more mythological bent.sigpicSig by Bay, for my birthday.
