I can even tell you how many years I’ve attempted NaNoWriMo and failed to hit 50,000 words. Well, not this year. 50,000 or bust!
Starting my prep already and I am trying to recruit buddies and be present in the forums. But not too present as forums really eat up writing time.
I recently started working at my local library and my immediate supervisor has attempted NaNo in the past. Hoping we can cheer each other on this year!
Here are some of my prep links:
