So who's progressing through their 20's DURING November?
I'm turing 23 on the 27th *groans* and my boyfriend (also NaNoing this year) turns 23 on the 25th! It's such a pain 'cause I always have to take days off towards the end of the month to visit family. This year I'm doing it the weekend before my birthday but still...
Anyone else suffer with birthday celebrations when the best present they could be given is a couple of thousand words and some peace and quiet?

I view Nanowrimo as a month-long present. I'm turning 29 on the 11th. Which actually falls on a scheduled write-in this year.
Cupcakes for everyone!!!

I'm turning 26th on the 8th. I have no idea if anything zany is going to happen on my birthday, but I live a significant distance away from most of the people who would attempt zaniness, so I'll most likely end up spending the day progressing the plot. Maybe with a birthday.

I'm turning 24 on the 25th! I mostly just plan to lock myself in my room, kick my boyfriend out and pretend that my family doesn't exsist. This will be my first NonoWriMo living back at my parents' so I hope everyone gives me a bit of peace and quiet at least once in a while XD

Turning 23 on the 8th. But that's usually when I'm still procrastinating. I have the rest of the month to pick up the slack.

Turning 29 on the 24th. Should be able to get solid writing done on that day as no family members live in the same city as me, and I get a day off work.
November must really be a writers month, so many birthdays.

I'll be 22 on the 6th. And have no time to write the 6th or 7th because of plans my boyfriend has made. I can't complain too much. I wanna see the movie on my birthday, and the next day he's gonna buy me a battle axe from the RenFair

Don't be ashamed of your birthday! We're all 20-somethings here!
Me, I'll be 27 come November 18th. My oldest nephew, who wants to do the Young Writer's Program this year, is also a November baby. XD
It's a curse in my family, it seems.

I'm turning 21 on the 19th.
But I'm not too worried about getting the writing done. I'll be running to my computer for relief, as I've got a Spanish Romanticism test that day.
I'm just glad I'll be able to really celebrate the end of NaNo this year! :)
And November birthdays are common. You know why? - It's 9 months from Valentine's Day! There are probably other reasons too. We're not all mistakes.

I will be 26 on the 14th... It just sort of creeps up to you.
Yippie a Saturday. I had a great plan to send my husband down to visit his parents with the kids by himself that weekend. So I could have the whole house to myself. However being the great guy that he is already made plans. We will see how it all goes. It might actual work to my benifit.

I'm turning 22 on the 6th and this is my third year doing Nano(and hopefully third year winning). It's my only approved slacking off day, but usually ends with drinking and then writingp-because drunk people love to hear themselves talk and drunk writers think they're absolutely brilliant and they must write down that idea as soon as possible. Which isn't all that bad during Nano, now is it ;)?-.

I'll be 21 on the 26th. That's Thanksgiving this year. I know it is a distraction from NaNo, but I have always loved Thanksgiving. It will be a nice diversion, even if I do get behind on my word count. Thankfully I'm not traveling anywhere this year from TG, so I'll be able to get back to my writing pretty quickly.

I'm turning 22 on the 22nd of November. My birthday was on thanksgiving one year while Nanoing...it was horrible, I was sick too. This year, I'm not living near my family, so my birthday will probably be a bit quieter and I'll get all my Nanoing time in before dinner.

November birthday rock! :)
I'll be 22 on the 18th. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a low key one this year though. But, hey, if I could still finish NaNo after last year's 3 week 21st b-day celebration, I can finish NaNo anytime! :P

You're exactly one year older than me! We've got it on Black Friday this year. Personally, I'm glad for the excuse to stay inside! My birthday plans are pretty simple, going out for sushi, then presents and cake. It should be fun!
I love November, it really makes me feel like I was born to be a writer!

Which means you're one year older than me. Wow I am not alone! I'm turning 21 on the 27th. Got Thx giving, black friday, and nano all in the same lovely month. On that day of my birthday....I shall only write a little bit. Because I have work. And then my first legal drink. Hahaha.
