NaNoWriMo anyone?

Yes, it's that time of year again. Or almost. The boards are reset, the posting has begun, people are planning their get-togethers, and the plot-or-not debates are heating up.
So how 'bout it? Any other Dresdenphiles planning on attempting NaNoWriMo this year?

I'm tempted to try it again this year: I actually managed to reach my quota last year, and this year, I just might toggle in the third part of a trilogy of fanfics that I'm working on

I think I'll take part. It's been a while since I tried and I've been neglecting my novel-length ideas.

Nope; though if I can keep writing at the rate I am, I may well finish a novel in November.
My life is a lot better shaped for 2,000-5,000 words every week than it is for a novel in a month, and if it
was
, it would be a less depressing month.

I signed up for the first time this year--I'm going to write the sequel to my current WIP. I have the plot worked out; now I just need to finish outlining.

Considered it and thought I might but I've still got to finish my current draft before the end of the year. That's the deadline I've set for myself. It's a monkey on my back and I'm pretty sure I'll make it. But it won't happen if I drop everything and work on something else for a month. Maybe next year...

It'll be my first year, and really my first try at something quite this big.

I'm giving it a try. I'm still in the research stage and I have a few kinks to work out for the back half of the plot, but I'm willing to go for it.

Just five days to go! Have to finish my outline and a talk I'm giving on the history of puppetry before then. Are you all using the same screen names you have here? I signed up as "Apochralypta" - no idea why, but it seemed like a good name at the time.
