Heh, the title this year rhymes.

Whoooooo's ready? Come and talk about your NaNoWriMo planning, or your procrastination, and earn leaves for doing it!

Haha, that's good. It's been a while since I participated in my event. I got my first 3 event points. And lost them again haha, too greedy ;x

I have terrible luck with guessing right on chance I always lose.

I don't participate in NaNoWriMo, but I've read some good NaNo stories on fictionpress and other sites~

Yeah I actually won NaNo for the first time last year even though I've been attempting since 2009. Hopefully this year will be another win!

I've been meaning to do one of these for ages, never seem to have the time to sit down and just write constantly. Who do you think I am, Stephen King?

Well actually. if you set aside just an hour a day to do nothing but write. It doesn't take that much time out of your day. and you'll be surprised how many words you get. i was hitting about 2k on my good days. :] when just typing for that time slot.

I could probably do it at one point but my problem is that I start something and don't finish it. Or I go in five different directions and even I have problems knowing what's going on!

One of these years, though, I'll sit my behind down and get writing.

doesn't hurt to just write and see what happens. xD even if it doesn't make sense to start with. Some of my nano last year (that i made the goal!!) was

"I have this idea for this scene. Basically this guy is going to do something like this. And she's gonna retaliate like this. but i'm not really sure how to write that so to be filled in at a later date" and leave those notes even if i do go back and fill it in later. xD cause you're not allowed to press the back button :] just type type type. edit later. ^^

One of the things I like to do with stories it plan them out in advance, like character sheets, a couple of story layouts, maybe a couple of maps of different areas, descriptions of this and that, and make general notes. Just to plan a few things, which helps keep things on track.

I can only hope that I write enough this time. I actually have a story planned out instead of just winging it. I mean I'll still be winging it but with more direction.

Probably won't be able to do any meet up type things. I created a superhero so my novel is going to be her origin story.

Is it bad that I want all the wigs and all the embroidered skirts from the store?

Why does it scare you Kita?

Also Kirin, yeah, I've got loads of gold at the moment for some reason, so I'm probably gonna spend it all on commons.
