Hellloooo everyone!

This would be my first time ever participating in Nanowrimo. I've heard of it in the past, but this is the first time I've got the guts to attempt this. I don't expect to reach the shiny goal, but I'm sure as hell going to try! :']
Yet November happens to be a very busy month for me (still in high school, and a devoted member of Tech Crew! <3 so practice is every day, taking up my precious time for writing! And I've got dance classes too! xD ) I tend to be a good at multitasking sometimes, so lets see what happens.

I've sort of got a vague Idea of what I'd enjoy to write about, and its been something that has been in my head for a while, and never got around to writing it. I don't want to share it just yet, because I'm pretty cool like that!

I don't know why, but I wanna share that I'm excited for the new Tegan & Sara album, I love those twins <3

----------
I love you.

Umm, first off, Tegan and Sara rock. Favorite song?

Secondly - welcome to Nano! This is also my first year, and I had never even heard of it before. Actually, if your goal isn't to finish but reach 50,000 words, it's not too bad. It's less than 2000 words a day, and if I were you I'd try to double-up on the weekends.

Also, I think having character, plot, and setting sketches work great as well as a story outline to keep everything together. If you want sample sketches or forms let me know and I can send them to you!

Actually, Charlie Azami if you can post them, in some way or fashion, that would be awesome for all of us to read and all of us would definitely appreciate the input, I'm sure!!

Hello! I am also brand spankin' new to NaNoWriMo. At this point I'm still a bit lost as to what I will be writing about. I've been trying to get some story elements together since yesterday, when I visited the website for the first time and decided to give it a go. We'll see what happens. :)

Good luck to you!

Hi all. I'm a newbie as well. I'm pretty excited about this and ready to get going. I've been toying with an idea. What is your method on flushing out ideas? Do you outline or wing it?

Hi. I am also new here. I'm still in school, just trying to get through a year of advanced coursework before I die. And of course, I'm excited as heck. My fingers itch to write just one word....

My ideas come to me; I don't go to them. I don't usually outline, but for this one I've got a loose plot and extensive background work done, as well as a lot of research into the scientific concepts behind everything. That's my main motivating factor so far, I think.

Yep. I'm a total n00b here. I just signed up today, with absolutely no idea what I was going to write. I'm 1751 words in, and I think I might have an idea where I'm going now.
