I am nervous about it.

About doing NaNo?

This is my understanding of it as well.

Thanks Shad! I just HAD to use the new CI

I might have saved it for future User choice :#

Awww thank you!

You're welcome. ^^ i love it. i'm going to be getting alot of those this event I think. xD

I'm still thinking about doing it this year, have a couple of ideas, but I don't know how well it would work out.

If you spend a few hours planning in the next two days you'll probably not have any trouble. I believe in you

I've got an idea that I've been sitting on for the last, like, three months. Most of it's planned out but I don't if semi-planned out stuff is allowed. I am off Halloween and the day after, so it wouldn't be hard to get more things done.

You are absolutely allowed to plan before NaNo! You just can't write opening lines or anything like that.

Ah, that's good to hear. I don't have anything written yet outside of the planning stuff [characters, places, etc] so then there's little to worry about then.

Yep all you have to worry about is getting ready to start your wordcount on the first!

Just try it. if you don't make it you don't but you got someting done even if its only a few words. ^^

And it'll be a start in getting the idea officially on paper -- er, on computer? *shrug*

I use the phrase "get it on paper" a lot too, and it drives me nuts that I literally do not write on paper.

I sometimes tend to write things on paper first, sometimes I find it helps things move faster that way. Used to always write on paper first then type it onto the computer later, I think I have a couple of notebooks laying around here somewhere.

Ah yeah i do all my planning in notebooks because I swear I think faster that way, but all my actual writing goes on computers.

Yea, same but with the exception if I'm on vacation or something like that. Sometimes the best ideas often come when not sitting at home or something just has to be written out.

Ah yeah I usually get the most done when I leave home and write in cafes or something.

I'm sure you can do it Kirin!

I love writing my ideas in notebooks. i have piles of them around my house.

So do I, shelves full of them in my room.

Mine are in boxes right now since we moved.
