We're approaching that time, kids. Yes, it's NaNo time, where the fae buries herself in a little cave, dimly lit by a computer screen, and spews vast quantities of words into a little file, obsessively checking her word count, finding the strangest tidbits amusing, and insisting on sharing the fun and pain and angst with anybody who'll hold still.

So..who wants to hold still for it this year? I'm updating the nanowrimo filter. Opt-in only, so if you don't want to hear about it, just don't respond. My regular journal may include the occasional wordcount update, but if you want to play along on the home game, tell me to put you in the filter.

Don't be afraid.

They're only words.

And words can't hurt you.

*cool, even smile*

Stoda rocks back and forth, moulting heavily, chanting an incessant mumbling charm.

Well, I'll be in it with ya. :>

This is a good idea... I should probably offer the masses sanctuary from my November Ravings as well.

encouragement as needed. shoulder, baked goods, time with cute wittle kittens, and other such bonuses available by request. :)

also known as "watch the crazy people with delusions of novelhood bash their brains against a computer (or notebook) for a month"

quite enjoyable, on the whole. I learned way too much about me last year. *wrygrin*

oh yeah, i made a separate Nano journal--If I thought ahead I would've just made filter like you, that'd be easier...Anyway, the journal name is [livejournal.com profile] sourcandy2 if you wanna friend it, that's where I'll be doing my updates.

c'mon, it's fun. worse that happens is you don't make it to 50K words. Or possibly, you do, but have a screaming nervous breakdown in the middle. but I theorize people like that are taking it too seriously. *cough*

I so need a good plot bunny and/or ninja icon. perhaps it's time to learn the fine art of icon making. in my copious spare time, of course..

Hey, I just friended you. I'm [livejournal.com profile] ajbunk's sister. If you don't want to friend me back, I understand. My journal is heavily fannish, so it can get pretty boring for people who aren't into that stuff. But I wanted to widen my circle a little more, so here I am. :)

welcome aboard. I think I can probably handle a little more fannishness in my friend's list, particularly since I rather suspect we have some things in common, having glanced at your bio. :)
