Hey all!
Mary-Beth here. Newbie here as this is my first attempt at NaNoWriMo.
Been writing for many years. I've found when taking writing workshop courses the feedback and encouragement really helpful. Being new to Nanoland, am hoping to find a few writing buds in the same genre as me. Any chick literati out there who want to share the fun, er pain... and keep the creative juices flowing through November???

I'm definitely into a writing bud!

I did NaNo last year, but this is my first time tacking chicklit, so feedback and keeping the juices going through November!

This is my third time doing NaNo and I love having more writing buddies and helping others. Encouragement is something we all need during November.

I can always use more buds. As of right now, I'm not sure if I'll be doing chick-lit or a YA novel having to do with coming-of-age or something. But I think I want to try to stray a bit from fantasy. That's all I've ever written.

I need some chick lit writing buddies. I am going over your profiles and adding likely buddies. Add me if you think that we'd be good buddies.

I'm in! I'm with MsJessica -- first time to try chicklit. Last year won with a YA novel. Excited to do something a bit different this time.

I am a new nano writer too. I would love to have some more writting buddies that are writing in the chick lit genre. I am planning on getting a summary of my book up sometime this week, if anyone wants to read that.

This is my 4th NaNoWriMo with ZERO wins to my name. So, this year I'm doing everything I can to keep my motivation up - so I could definitely use some writing buddies! :-)

I finished reading Pride & Prejudice and Zombies a while back. Love the idea of a zombie love story.

Monster Buffy fan too. Didn't miss an episode and full set on DVD - plus Angel.
Had fun watching it in Spanish when we were in Barcelona this past summer. Just doesn't translate, but Angel was still as cool as ever!!

I'm throwing my name into the hat too. I would LOVE some writing buddies throughout this soon to be crazy month. I'm a feedback junkie, I need to know if I'm doing it right. (Cause most of the time I think I suck, lol)

Feel free to add me as well. I'm not much of a chick lit reader, but as I create my notes and character profiles in preparation for November, I'm realizing my story is shaping up to be chick lit...or in the realm, at least.

Oh, and sammyjones57 - I'm right there with you! :)

Hey all! I'd love to have some chick lit writing buddies, feel free to add me! :) Most of my buds are in historical fiction, fantasy, etc. I'm getting to a point where I'm so psyched to start writing my story it's kind of amusing.

hello,
i've been around nano a few years but always end up giving in midway through november. maybe if i actually knew some other folks doing it this year i'd have a better shot at making it to 50,000. So if anyone is still looking for writing buddies please add me.

Amanda
