It's like right now for some people, but it's not like anyone here completes it right? What are your plans?

I'm going to write two sentences but then give up because it's hard.

I would like to write a collaborative novel in a fantasy or sci fi setting...

The plan is to do it on a character basis after developing a setting with the other writers...dunno if such things are allowed in NaNoWriMo

I already got a solid enough idea. Will begin writing tomorrow.

Good luck, fellow writers, and may the odds be ever in your favour.

Since a novel has to be at least 50,000 words, this thread would get very long...

Oh yeah, good point.... I don't think a novel really has to have a concrete number of words. Of Mice and Men doesn't even hit 30,000 words.

I'm at 2000 words but I'll never post it anywhere. I'll probably get tired of it at the 10k mark.

Of Mice and Men is a novella, not a novel.

You just pwned me.

I started the challenge last night, and I think I'm somewhere at the 1000 word mark. For personal uses, I might extend the challenge to Dec. , since that would be 1 month from when I started, but If I can somehow manage to hit the big 50k before that (heck if I meet novella standards, Ill be ecstatic) I'll be one happy guy.

I did this last year and did manage to hit the 50k mark, and I am/will be attempting to finish again this year, but I'm not sure if my schedule will allow at the moment. Time will tell how far I get I guess....

16k... well, i'm hanging in there

and yeah, a novel doesn't really have a set amount of words it needs to follow, NaNo is mostly just mostly just incentive for the person attempting it to get off their bum and start writing. As a reward, you get an online sticker or something.

Hello.
I'm at 19k words. But because of games, especially Team Fortress 2, I always stray away from writing my novel.
