    It is so much fun. Really. Even if you don't hit 50,000 words. It's a great supportive community.

    i often think of writing different stories, some would be fiction & others nonfiction. things about real life happenings & your random horseshit. it is hard to sit down & go at it, although i believe i am capable or will be capable one day, until then poetry it is

    I've done NaNoWrimo every year (and "won" by writing 50,000+ words) since 2007. I also write novels just as a hobby, but there are few things as fun for me as NaNo. Anyone who is interested in NaNo, I encourage you to try it.

    I will be publishing one of my novels very soon. The main character is a diehard Pearl Jam fan.

    Not a novel, no. But I'm thinking short stories. In the meantime I continue with my poetry.
