We didn't have a school sponsered nano or anything in my school but we did have a creative writing club which presented us with a lot of challenges, and one of the best things i found at least is having someone you can e-mail and rant to when you get the dreaded writers block etc. Last year I had a writing buddy who was amazing and read my e-mails and responded as well as ranted to me, both parts of the e-mail exchange were awesome, but sadly my buddy has not returned. Basically i'm typing up a wanted ad or a plea for a writing buddy/e-mail exchange person. I figured that other people could post here as well.

I like talking to people. An e-mail buddy would be awesome, especially considering the fact that my friends have declared they will kill me if I don't finish NaNo this year...I could be your (or anyone else's) buddy.

I wouldn't mind a buddy to share mutual encouragement and commiseration. My novel is about a drama club at a Catholic high school staging a controversial spring musical while dealing with the terminal illness of their longtime music teacher/musical director. The story focuses primarily on two teachers and one student, and has some major gay/lesbian themes. I don't know what other people are writing about, but if you'd like to correspond, send me a PM here or e-mail me at snoopy.the.cat (at) verizon.net.

I honestly think this is a pretty good idea. Writing Fanfictions, I've talked to other authors about having the annoying writers block and other things. It's good to let things out to someone who is going through the same thing as you. I'll be an email buddy! Just message me
