Greetings all...
This is my first year doing this, so I just wanted to say "Hello" to all the other writers here in Lake county. Name's Janine.
I'm a little nervous about this whole 50,000 words thing, since I've never attempted to write anything that big before, but I figured that now is the time to try. It will be nice to have some motivation from others to keep me going. :-)
So... I look forward to getting to know some of you!
Janine

Welcome, Janine. Don't be afraid. The Lake County contingent is very supportive and, together, we will get through this! I signed up last year. Although I didn't make it to 50K, I came close, and it was lots of fun. I am determined to make it all the way in 2008.

Hi all---NANO is great! I did it last year for the first time and loved it. It got me out of the "I want to write but lack this, that, and the other" rut and got me to just do it. We met at Morley Library once a week (is this happening again?) to write, chat, and commiserate. I did make the 50,000 word goal (barely!) but even if I didn't I would do it again this year. Go for it and give it a try! The stuff I wrote last year I now have as a completed novel and have been editing for the last few months with an editor. Kind of encouraging. Just do it!!!
