Unexpected success stories from the frantic novel-writing front.

Comments and ideas for the NaNoWriMo.org site and NaNo forums in order to help us improve them this year and next year.

PC? Cell phone? Smoke signals? What technology (or lack thereof) are you going to use to write your novel this year?

The nuts, bolts and other mechanical interworkings of writing. Grammar, vagaries of spelling, using other languages in your text, choosing a POV & stylistic concerns.

You're too old for the Young Writers Program, but too young to legally drown your literary sorrows at the nearest bar.

A little corner for those who are just a little older, maybe not any wiser but definitely in this together.

MMORPG buddies can form ad hoc threads here and chat about avatars and noveling. World of Warcraft, Second Life, Everquest, Sims ... Texas Holdem Poker. Plan your strategies here.
