Very cool challenge. Sometimes you thrive with a mission rather than an endless stretch. I have a draft that needs my attention. I get into these seasons (he he) where I think I should be writing something different, like the feeling has passed, but I believe in the story I'm telling. And I actually have a specific reader in mind.

I love this, and I love NaNo! Even in the years when I haven't done it, just the existence of NaNo always brings a certain amount of electricity and fun to writing in the month of November. Good luck!

I've also returned to Nano after taking last year off (way too much going on last year). I really need to push through the first draft of my current WIP. Started yesterday with 5030 words. Tuesdays are impossible for me, so I'll focus on writing lots other days! Good luck!

I've done NaNoWriMo the past 4 years and will be informally doing it this year (my third year in a row working on the same novel). I'm hoping to just get words down consistently and don't want the added work of having to maintain the word count on the NaNo site. Hopefully I will enter again officially with a new project next year.
