Age Group: 20s Writing Buddies

Agree with all of the above! I always feel weird when I'm "buddies" with somebody but don't interact with them at all. Totally awkward. :)

Agreed!
I've never had buddies who actually interacted. It would be nice.

I adore snail-mail too. . .

And I'm writing a YA book about Faeries and a new race of mythical people, but it's not that weird, it is YA after all.

I would love to have a writing buddy, someone to bounce ideas off of and for me to help that person as well, basically to be friends while we climb the metaphorical Mt. Saint WordCount. I am a person who likes to chat it up with my writing buddies, get to know them, become friends, i don't just want someone in my buddy list. especially because i am a newbie here.

Hells yeah! I'm a big fan of very adult themes. XD What kind specifically?

I'm 24 and writing about a young guy who's been sexually abused, forced into prostitution, and torture-raped. I'm busy and loner-like, so I'm really just looking for that one special writing buddy with whom I can click and talk openly about explicit stuff with. Does that sound at all appealing to you?

I'm always looking for some buddies! Especially anyone who's a NaNo Rebel this year. I could definitely use some extra support my first year writing something other than a novel in November!

I'm definitely up for meeting new friends/writing buddies. I don't get out much because of work and school. I'm a 24 year old psychology major, and if you would like to know more please feel free to add and/or message me!

Hello! I would love some writing buddies.

My name is Majanka. I'm 21 years old, living in Belgium and totally new to the NaNoWriMo thing. I've written some novels before (in the process of self-publishing one of them, by the way) but this is my first time trying out NaNoWriMo. I'm totally excited, but I think I'll probably need some help with plot doctoring, dialogue and general character talk, word wars, or just some chitchat :P In exchange, I would love to help you out with your novel as well. I would prefer writing buddies who write genres I know something about as well - fantasy (currently writing a fantasy novel), horror, thrillers, historical fiction or romance.

I'm a law major at university, so my schedule can be hectic at times. However, if you send me a mail I'll mail back within 24 hours. Promise :) I also have a website, so if you have one too we could exchange comments and maybe link back to each other or sometihng? I also have MSN and XFire if you want to get in touch with me.

I've never had a writing buddy before....I want one now! Please :P

Hey guys!

Feel free to add me as a buddy, I love discussing writing, brainstorming, complaining, being positive and everything else that goes with NaNoWriMo :)
I usually write fantasy, but have also written sci-fi and chicklit. Very diverse, I know. Stories can take you anywhere :)

I am up to having writing buddies. I am online quite a bit when I am not working and am willing to talk. I can offer advice, encouragement or even talk about topics outside NaNoWriMo. I agree, there is no point in having people on a buddy list if they do not wish to actually talk.

I am 26 and have about a million questions about Nanowrimo. So if you want to help me out and talk then I am your kinda buddy. ^>^

Hi! This is the first time I have ever done NaNoWriMo. I had never even heard of it before today. I "like" Richelle Mead on facebook (author of The Vampire Academy Series) and she posted today about November being the National Novel Writing Month. I have always thought about writing a novel, so I thought this would be the perfect time to start!

I am 21 years old and live in Iowa. I go to college and have my AA degree, but not sure what I want to major in yet. I spend most of my free time reading, listening to music, and watching tv. Right now I'm watching Dancing With The Stars, The Ringer, Psych, Supernatural, and Being Erica (I have to watch this online though, since it only airs in Canada now). My favorite singer is Ryan Star! :)

I love to read all genres of books, so I'm not sure what I want to write about yet. I would love some writing buddies though, to help each other out and chat :)

Holla! I would love some writing buddies. I have some on my list, people that I have accumulated over the years, but unfortunately 95% of them are not participating this year and my writing buddy list just looks pathetic. I'd love to have someone to chat with between paragraphs through email or chat (on Facebook maybe? I dunno, I have an AIM but I'm never signed on). Send me a NaNoMail if you'd like to be friends. Oh, and we can totally kick each others' butts into gear if necessary. :)

I'm definitely up for writing buddies, but like allmylove, I would like to find people who enjoyed talking rather than fluffing up their buddy count.

If anyone is interested, please send me a NaNoMail :).

Hello. I'm Rinalda and I've recently *and by recently I mean an odd two days ago* joined this wonderful site with lovely people and infinite forums. And, truth be told, I'm a bit nervous and panicky. I've added a few buddies based on random forum posts I've seen and liked, but I'm not sure how to approach this whole buddy-system.

I like coffee, cats, nutella, crisp autumn days, pillows, the smell of books, the smell of rain, ribbons, writing, imagining things, observing people, watching excessive amounts of movies/shows/anime, reading, making handmade jewelry, drawing, laughing until tears come out, going to concerts and festivals... Well, you kind of get the picture.

I tend to procrastinate, which is why I've taken on this November challenge. To prove something to myself. To prove that 'if you can dream it, you can do it' (well, except for suddenly developing a mermaid voice and becoming an internationally-acclaimed singer. Not gonna happen.)

So if anyone is interested in becoming my active buddy, feel free to do so... I'll be on almost every day, usually during the evenings... And by evenings I mean nights. My timezone is GMT+2:00, but hey, that's what e-mails and snail-mail are for, right?

Oh, and my novel (dare I call it that) is some sort of YA fantasy-comedy mash-up.

I give up :(

XD oh my! Please tell me that you're not a Hufflepuff.
