Hey everyone! I just thought that it would be kind of cool to have a discussion for those of us who haven't yet turned 20. Each age group has their own specific set of things that conflict with NaNo and since technically we're the youngest age group (I think), I thought maybe this would be useful! I'm 17 and from Bergen County and currently dealing with college applications up the wazoo :). How about you guys?

Heyy I'm 17 and from Bergen County too. Writing is going pretty well so far. I know that writers block will come eventually but I hope I don't fail this year. Last year was dissapointing. Hope all of you are enjoying writing!

I'm 18. I turn 19 in 12 days. Woo!
Good luck to all those doing college applications. It's really a pain, especially those personal statements. If anyone needs any help or advice, I'm willing and somewhat able. Haha. No, but seriously, I've been through it, and am currently going through it again to apply for a transfer. And it sucks but usually once you do the first one, the rest are much easier.

Hi, guys! I'm behind, but that's only because I have a different word processing and can't figure out how to word scramble! This is my first year and I was wondering if there is any write-ins for teenagers, because I doubt that my parents will let me go to a write-in with random adults. With random teenagers, it's worth a shot, so please tell me if there is any you know of.
