I saw this last year, decided to bring it back. So, what language are you writing your NaNo in? I'm using English, if only for my complete inability to write anything over 2000 words in Bahasa Indonesia. You guys?

Kalau Ambu nulis dalam bahasa Inggris, 1500 kata sebulan nggak selesai-selesai :P
Jadi, untuk ketiga kalinya, Ambu ber-NaNo dalam bahasa Indonesia. Mungkin tahun depan mau nulis pakai bahasa Sunda. Doakan saja kesampaian XD

In 2007 I wrote in English and in 2008, in Bahasa Indonesia. Maybe I'll do both this year. If that's not possible, English.

Most likely english. I don't speak good Indonesian hahahaha... kidding :P. Just because this year I'll be joining some local Berlin meetups and english would be easier for them to understand than Indonesian ;).
@eve15: you're going to go at 100.000 words this year?

@param1ta I do have plans to work on two stories, but I also realize full well it'd be impossible. So if I have to take the regular route (50k, one story), I'll work on a story in English.

English, since my first novel in Indonesian sucks badly and I don't wanna do the same mistake twice ;]
----------Beside, I will send it to a friend from US and he'll send me mine :]
And in addition, I have to increase my ability in English so I'm ready to face my college year by next year (meh, imagining about it makes me shiver).

@eve15: Just try, maybe you can do it after all? I know some people who did that. I'll be cheering you up ^_^.
@janefendy: which one makes you shiver? college or english ;)? You'll do fine, I'm sure :).

Ga bisa nulis pake bahasa Inggris, grammarnya kacau.
Yasudah, pasti akan nulis pake bahasa Indonesia walaupun karakternya namanya Barat semua

Untuk saya, tidak bisa nulis di Bahasa. Grammar and kosa kata kacau. (I am pretty sure there is something wrong with what I just wrote)

Kalo saya nulisnya pake bahasa indonesia karena kalo pake bahasa inggris, yang ada bakal gagal total sejadi-jadinya, seperti tahun kemarin. Tapi yang bingung, ini kan cerita tentang orang bule yang nyasar ke indonesia (yang nggak bisa bahasa indonesia), dan ceritanya itu dari sudut pandang dia pula.
Kan kalo dia tiba2 fasih ngindo gitu gimana ya?
Alamat tahun ini gagal finis nano lagi keknya deh. *pasrah* hehe

i'd probably use english this year, since last year i already wrote in indonesian. haven't got myself a lot of time to write fanfics in english, so i'd probably have to freshen up my english-writing skill.

English. Last year I wrote a novel in English, an original one, and it was already hard to pull off. I can't imagine doing it in Indonesian... I have been too long away from our mother tongue. Shameful, really, but what can you expect from an English-degree graduate who spends her time frolicking in fan fiction sites? I think I will do a fan fiction in English now and perhaps, if I have time left, attempt anoher on in Indonesian as addition (perhaps not till 50000 words). Well, yeah, I am insane. What could i say? *grin*

Heh heh definitely English, as I'm not quite as fluent in Indonesian as I'd like to be...I'd probably worry about if "this word" or "that word" is spelled correctly instead of the word count...Funny how that is, eh?

Kayanya sih English. Alasan utama nulis pake English adalah pilihan diksi yang lebih banyak dan deskriptif. Kalau pakai Bahasa, rasanya ada beberapa bagian yang tidak bisa dideskripsikan dengan jelas.
Misalkan, nulis 'moncong pistol' daripada 'muzzle' terdengar nggak sreg aja..

English. Bahasa Indonesiaku sudah kacau balau, terlebih lagi setiap kali aku menulis pakai Bhs. Indo jadinya terlalu formal...
Tuh kan, that sounded like a complete amateur.
