NaNoWriMo

November, which has become well known as MoNember to some, has also become known as NaNoWriMo for writers with a masochistic streak or those hoping to impose some writing discipline into their iives. This annual creative writing project began in 1999 in San Francisco with 21 participants. Last year over 170,000 people signed up for the event, and you can add three more people to that number as three bdb'ers decided to take the plunge and join in the fun this year. Anyone else taking up the challenge?

I'm in too. I hope I can hack the pace but it's great to have the permission to just write total rubbish and not listen to the little editor inside my head!

Hey great, I'm in good company then. Lili I think you've done this before. Any tips for first timers?

Some tips would be great. The whole thing is quite daunting!
