How to win nanowrimo
It made me
ye gods!
 "...how did THAT happen?"
How I did it: Would you believe me if I said I had no idea? I just...er...gave up, then didn't give up, then gave up again, then didn't give up, then...just wrote. And wrote and wrote and wrote (and angsted) and wrote (and got drunk) and wrote and then on the 29th of November, in the early morning, I had a novel. Lessons & tips: Write. Just write. I suppose it also helps if you really love the characters you create, too.

How I did it: I have signed up for NaNoWriMo every single year and never won it. I would start out well enough and then crash and burn after missing a few days of writing. This year I was determined. I missed a week's worth of writing, but then I just sat down and did it. I knocked out 15K in two days. I am still not done with my story and I am doing a DecNoWriMo with some people on the NaNoWriMo forums. Come join us… Read how I did it…
I want to win National Novel Writing Month so I can feel proud with myself. I call myself a writer but I’ve nothing to show for it. I think it would be an amazing feeling to reach the end of the line as a winner. Wish me luck. :)
I keep meeting people who have done this and shaking my head in amazement. How is it possible? I’m going to find out this yaer.
I have attempted NaNoWriMo four times. And four times, I have failed. Will 2008 be the year? I can only hope..

2005: First year I tried, wrote my 50,000 words but the resulting novel was unpublishable, and perhaps unreadable.
2006: The resulting novel was actually pretty good, after more than a year of revisions. It’s out to prospective agents now.
2007: Worked out pretty well. This novel is still in revision, so we’ll see if I can make something out of it. I excerpted Chapter 5 and submitted to a literary magazine.
not this year. i was doing good and i like my plot, but i got too distracted, mostly by the WGA strike.
i got about 13k
i thought about entering NaNoFiMo but i’m too tired. i’ll continue on january
I reached 50,058 words on the evening of November 27th and finished NaNo WriMo with three whole days to spare.
This competition rocks! For people who have always wanted to write a novel but could not seem to apply the seat of their pants to the seat of their chair, Nano WriMo provides the structure and the incentive to start and to finish.
Now that I have finished my NaNo, I still need to finish the novel but it’s all happening!
Happy dance!
damn. only got to about 15k. but i wrote 1000 words yesterday, and my goal is to hit 50K by the end of december. NaNoFiMo, anyone?
I did not write yesterday… that’s the first time all month. I was just too exhausted. This evening, after a nap, I passed 35,000 and then 36,000 words. Most of them were not brilliant words but I am working hard on just getting them down.
This is the last weekend so it needs to be BIG! Big word count.
I am totally going to reach 50,000 words by November 30th.
At 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 18th I wrote my 30,000th word. I am going to bed now.
