Any of you use Chris Baty's book? I read it before my first NaNo, but not since (that I remember). I'm thinking of either reading it all now to get even more hyped up and ready, or reading the beginning now and the weekly chapters during their alloted time. Anyone else?

I read it during the off-season one year, and keep it around to flip through every year as NaNo approaches. It's a great reminder that NaNo is supossed to be *fun*, and never fails to get me fired up.

A friend of mine @ work read it for an article she was writing and it convinced her to try NaNo this year. Yay!

I read it using the weekly sections last year, and it really helped to minimize the stress. It reminds me that this is supposed to be fun and crazy, and it really doesn't matter how bad your novel turns out (:

I'm loaning my copy to my sister in a rash attempt to get her into the insanity.

Haven't read it but a friend of mine has highly suggested it for me since this is my first year. Think I am running out to get it today. :D

I just ordered it a little bit ago, and I'm hoping it will get here in time. But otherwise I am planning on using it <3~
though I guess I could have looked for it at a bookstore too xD!
