I will be insane during the month of November.

Galnemer usually does it. In fact, both of her "Oracle" books (the on-the-bookshelves-now Dark Oracle and the to-be-released-in-February Rogue Oracle) were NaNoWriMo books.

Even more inspiration to do it!

So, when should I start thinking about what I'm going to write?

You could just go the stream of consciousness route.

1hr15 writing has yielded 2338 words so far. 31 wpm. A slow start due to trying to find the right voice. I am still not sure I have the right balance between serious and lighthearted. I expect that'll evolve and in December I can go back and edit for consistency.

[Lorizael]

Not ****ing bad. I started at midnight and chugged out 769 words before I went to bed. After work I expect I'll be able to sit down and really get somewhere.

[Al B. Sure!]

Are any of you going to post your texts here?

[ColdWizard]

I can't get the site to load.

My words are for my girlfriend and the word count validator only.

Send them to Alby, too, so he can tell you how stupid your story is.

[MOBIUS]

I have written 0 words so far...

Still almost 2hrs to go!

Oh my God, Jrabbit! I said it's silly because your daughter probably should have given it a rest if it was stressing her out! I can't judge her story itself which I never read!

I seriously had no intention of dissing your daughter and didn't read it that way.

I think I'm going to do this. However, I'm going to write Peterotica.

The Spy Who Loved Me and Also Had Sex With Me:

James Boner entered the Secret Sexual Intelligence Agency with his usual swagger. He had just returned from a spy mission with Victoria Secret models. After having sex with them for many days, he discovered the mystery of the female orgasm. Needless to say, his superiors were quite satisfied and he was ranked among the top secret sex agents and given the title Double O Semen.
Then M entered the room wearing a sexy silk negligee. This wasn't Judy Densch M. This was a new Gwyneth Paltrow M. And she looked totally hot. In fact, after looking her up and down, James Boner replied, "M, you are looking totally hot today." And then he gave her a wink to indicate that they would be having sex soon.

If I did it wouldn't be until after some serious editing, possibly not ever. I am trying to edit as little as possible as I go (not easy!). I'm treating November as the month for getting the words down. Getting it into a readable state will probably be harder.

3465. Mental day today. Grabbed half an hour lunch at about 3pm and knocked out 1100 words. No time to write tonight as it's Champions League and Curry night.

Only on day 2 but getting into a good pattern where I spend the journey to and from work walking and on the train thinking of what I'll write and then a bit of time at lunch and after work writing it up. So I can basically just blast through typing what's in my head. 36.66 WPM. Slightly faster than yesterday. Much less need to backtrack.

I didn't reach the mark yesterday. I'm only at 1370. I wrote an entire scene, then read it over and realized that, as far as the reader was concerned, my viewpoint character was male, unhappy about something, and was in a spaceship that may or may not have had physical characteristics. So I spent the rest of the day expanding on that to give the scene a degree of depth. Today, I expect I'll be able to finish that scene and introduce the next main character.
