I don't know about any of the rest of you, but I wait all year long for the start of November.
I get to write. I don't care about the inconvenience of getting up at 3:00 in the morning-I embrace it. I don't listen to anyone's bitching about my being preoccupied with things other than what they think I should be concentrating on. I get to live in the fantasy/creative/novel-writing mode my brain secretly lives in most of the time.
Did I mention that WE GET TO WRITE?!?!
This morning, I did 3,211 words in three hours (not including three walk-around-and-mumble-to-myself breaks) that I love. Love, I tell ya! I don't even care about the switch to daylight savings time, though it's a communist plot.
Is NaNoWriMo just the coolest f-ing thing on the planet, or what?
Enjoy.

Anyone else? Please.

Way to go Rebel!
----------I was looking around for a plot for the last couple days as my word count kinda sucked. But this morning I found it. Hope to see the words fly now. <>

Aw, if I'd only known.
I found my plot in the back of the refrigerator, apparently left over from when my brain cells were ripe, as opposed to way, way too ripe, if you know what I mean. Ba-dum-ching.
If I remember, there were a few more rattling around back there behind the spoiled milk, the cheap low-cal beer, and the Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs (with the skin).
On the other hand, the plot I found back there (and I got first dibs on it) is a comic story about a former people psychologist turned pet psychic who teams up with a retired-on-disability K9 police officer to solve a string of burglaries. It's also a mystery and a love story, and it involves the nefarious and illegal "harvesting" of large amounts of sperm. Without permission. From championship dogs with strong telepathic skills.
I believe it has the makings of a literary masterpiece.
Glad you're on your way. I can't imagine you'd have benefitted from any of my back-of-the-fridge plots, anyway.

Man, your story sounds awesome! Mine is as of yet completely lacking a plot and a second character, but I'm sure it'll come around sometime.

Oh, good. An excuse not to clean the plot-refrigerator for a while. Let me know if you want something from it, Skyla.
