I don't know if you want this here, but I think its importance warrants its location.

NaNoWriMo stands for (if you don't know) The National Novel Writing Month and is a very popular contest where people all over the world take part to complete a 50 000 word novel in the 30 days of November. This year is the contests tenth anniversary. last year over 100 000 people took part!

I haven't taken part before, but I am this year.

Will anyone from Revora be joining me?

Woah, just noticed this. Yes, I will be joining you, hopefully. 50'000 words, eh... That's pretty good going for a month. Good luck, fellow Yorkshire-dweller.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Heh, just saw this. That's what, 250 pages or so? That's say, 10 pages a day because you've got to take some time off. That's insane. :p

I'd do it if I could dedicate every weekend to it, but I can't, so good luck. Hope you guys don't get writer's block at page 175 :p

No, it works out at 1667 words per day, which isn't that much, really. The problem is doing it every day for 30 days. I don't know if I'll succeed, but I'll give it a damn good go. I'll put my final effort up on here after it's finished, in case anyone's interested.

I'm not doing too well so far :p

I'm too busy working on revisions for my WIP... Can't concentrate on NaNo... Oh well, I'll have to have a massive catch-up day.

Yeah, I'm kinda going to need a massive catch-up week. :p I have problems with concentrating sometimes.
