I have a plot idea in mind. It's based on a dream I had that I jotted down in my journal. I have a very basic plotline and some basic character sketches ready for it. Trying hard not to do too much, becuase that only makes me want to write more!!!
I probably would've had an insane November anyway, but I decided it just wasn't going to be crazy enough for me. Any excuse to write more is a good excuse.
Jackson native here as well... Been doing this since 04, so I'm getting used to the insanity. ;)
I had totally forgotten about Nano until someone mentioned it to me this morning. I probably would have remembered with about an hour before everything got into swing. ;)
My winter's are always insane. November is just worse than any other month because of the holidays, on top of what I already have plotted for myself.
Another Grass Lake person here (Grass Lakeian? Grass Laker?). This'll be my fourth year Nanoing, hopefully second year actually finishing. I already have my idea for my novel, and I'm ecstatic for next month.
I have an idea.. still trying to give it a little more life before going in, but not too worried. -shrugs- The characters I have in mind will be more than enough to carry it through.

I'm from Adrian too! I'm currently attending GVSU in Grand Rapids, but it's nice to know that there's someone else in my hometown who's going to be going crazy this month! =)

Nice to meet you, Linda! I live near downtown Jackson. I'm a first timer, too. But I am so excited about starting!

Best of luck to everyone.

Manitou Beach. First Nano year, although I've been writing for decades. If I'm in gear, should go all right.

Anybody in the area feel like getting together for a coffee and bullshoot some time?
