It is finally here...National Novel Writing Month! I have seen various blogs/websites post about this once a year event. I am psyched, anxious, nervous, excited about participating this year. I do not know if I can write 1,000 plus words on a daily basis. I guess I will find out soon enough. This event will definitely push my writing skills to the limit, since I have not timed myself or counted how many words I write before.
My other question to myself: What I am going to write about? I have been working on an outline to at least have something to go by, but will the words flow? Will I have total writer's block? I am going to write "junk" that does not make sense? I know this all deals with quantity over quality, but I do not want what I write about to be totally off. I am confident, that once I start writing, everything else will start to fall into place. Wishful thinking? I sure hope not!
To all my fellow writers who are participating along side me, I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor. May we all come out triumphant writers from this experience.
Have you participated in National Novel Writing Month before? What was your strategy in tackling a whole month of writing?

I am sure you will do a great job!
I'm doing this too this year.. so exciting.. first time.
Ana, this is my second year doing NaNo. I had just begun writing so I had no idea if I could write that many words. I did become a "winner" last year.
I had only a vague idea what my story would be about, it just came out as I went along.
This year I have a beginning and an ending, and a little about the middle, will it come out to be 50,000 words? I sure hope so.
The best to you in this challenge. Keep your seat in your chair, your hands on the keyboard and your head down. Most of all have fun.

Good luck!
Thank you to all my blogging buddies for your words of encouragement! The best of luck to all!!!
Hey Ana. I'm glad you are doing Nano this year. I bet you will do just fine. I found watching that little word count bar keep going up really motivated me. I have no idea why but it did. My name is 80squeen on the Nano site if you need a writing buddy.
