Welcome to Rebellion! You are NOT a cheater.

A brief word about Rebel etiquette:

OLL chose to call this section Outside the Box & this forum NaNo Rebels for very good reasons. It's for people all over the world who would like to join with other crazy/wonderful/terrifying writers to write 50K in the 30 days of November--but who will be doing it on their own terms. Marching to the beat of a different drummer. Having it their way.

We did NOT call it The Cheaters Corner, or The Fraud Forum, or the Wannabe Hangout, or... well, we could go on, but, again, you get the picture, right?

The good reason? First of all, we wanted to make this an inclusive event--but we chose the words we used because words are powerful. Using words with provocative, inflammatory connotations is negative. Please keep this in mind & respect the spirit of NaNoWriMo & the folks who use this forum when posting to this forum

Good to be back! Hello, other Rebels!

Hello other Rebels! I'm excited to be joining the ranks!

This is my 5th year of NaNo. I've won 4 times with fiction, but this year I'm going to be doing non-fiction. So, here I am to join the Rebels!

This is my 5th year participating in NaNoWriMo. I'm putting together a collection of poetry, short stories, journal entries, and more (all written by me), so here I am, rebelling!

I think I may be joining you guys this year. It's my 7th NaNo and I'm extremely busy lately and short on story ideas so far, so I'm thinking I may write a "quarter life memoir." I think it'll be a fun exercise (because the only non-fiction I write at the moment consists of blog posts) and a little bit less stressful (I don't do any planning, so the story is sometimes a bit hard to uncover). But I haven't decided for sure yet!

So excited! This is my first NaNo and I am doing a 50,000 word freewrite! I'll let it turn into whatever it wants to turn into :) Nice to meet all you other rebels out there.

Hello, the usual rebel here (although I onlycall myself a rebel on the forrums, heh.) I always do first-draft WIPs during nano because I write 300k stories soooooo an extra 50k works for me!

Although technically last year it was a fresh draft and I wasn't a ~rebel~ but eh. Why fix something that ain't broken?

There's a small chance I'll be finishing a previous year's failed Nano instead of starting a new one. If so, hello fellow Rebels!

If I end up doing traditional Nano after all, well, good luck to you and viva la revolucion! :)

This is my 9th year in Nanowrimo and my 1st rebel attempt and also my first non fiction book attempt.

Greetings Fellow Rebels!

Considering a rebel attempt this year, should be interesting if I do go that route! Glad I'm not alone!

Hello Rebels... I'm Kaidee (as you could probably piece together from my username...) and I am half joining your ranks for this year, my second adventure with NaNoWriMo. Last year I found out about NaNoWriMo like three days before it was supposed to start, so I took a drabble I wrote (100 words of pure fiction) and expanded it mightily to meet the 50k words challenge that is NaNo. Unfortunately, I never actually finished said NaNoNovel, as I got pneumonia in December and I am a terrible patient, buttttt I'm finishing that novel this year. I plan to take it from 56.609 words (my current count) to just over 100,000 and to write a book of poetry alongside it, with its own total of 50,000 words. Too much? Probably. Will I try it anyway? Yup.

Hello! I think I belong here too. I am writing a series and have a multitude of characters who have been vying for my attention. Since I can't decide on one idea in particular, I'm considering writing a collection of short stories. This may change before November 1 but for now, I'm here.

Hello all, I'll also be joining the ranks of the rebellious. I'm working on my second novel in my current series and I've actually started on it a little, I'm bumping my aspiring total to 60,000 words before the end of november to compensate a bit . Very much looking forward to checking in during the month for tips and chats. Roll on the challenge!!

I'm going to officially join the ranks. For the past few years, I've started several novels over the course of the month... only to get bored 5K words into them and move on to the next one... and cycle through them all month. Now last year, I kept it down to 3, but still. They weren't related, so that's that.

's gonna be a good month.

Hello, fellow rebels! I have the greatest difficulty in finishing anything in one wrimo, so I am going to be redoing something I started in Camp. I probably won't be using any of the material I wrote--at least, not in its present form--but there might be some rewriting involved, not to mention all the free/preliminary writing I will be doing to get a feel for things. At least I'm not completely cheating...one of my nano novels is a rework, but my other nano novel will be a new effort. But that makes a total of 100k words, which is definitely going to be crazy.

Hello Fellow Rebels!

I'm not actually sure what Rebeleous and Feindish things I will be doing for this Nano, but since I've been an un-official rebel for the last two Nanos and the two Camp Nanos I'm pretty sure I'll end up being one.

So it's lovely to meet you all and I hope to get to know you better in the coming month :D

I'm excited to be in good company. Writing outside the box is just plain sexier.

Hello Rebels!!

I'm using NaNo to finish a piece that I started after I finished last year's NaNo, my goal is just to add 50,000 words to whatever I've got as of midnight on November 1st and I'm already working on the piece now. I didn't want to wait for November to get started.

Glad to see that I'm not alone in my rebellion!

Hey :) This is my first one, what a rebel being a rebel on my first time :P At the moment I'm planning on writing about my life, but I may change my mind before november!
