NaNoWriMo 2009: The Sign Up Sheet

Thanks, Dee, for setting this up!

 I have a book I'm finishing. My goal is at least 1,000 words per day, but I'm shooting for more.  (And to keep reporting on said goal--my usual stumbling block, for some reason.)

 Best of luck to everyone!

My goal, is to complete three novels, already started and put aside for other things.

This would require a commitment of approx 3800 words per day.

I'll probably have to lock the door and turn the phone off!  

I've got write-ins and meet & Greets scheduled for my hometown for NaNoWrimo.  I'm doing their 50k goal and it's going to be a suspense or intrigue.  I'm totally psyched because it was not the plot I had planned at all but it came to me.  The downfall is that the characters haven't told me their names yet LOL.

I'm trying this again this year.  I didn't do very well last year but more prepared this time.  I hope.  Still mapping out my WIP aimed for either AR or SR.  This will be my second novel.  Feel like I sort of know how to go about it now.  Good luck to all!

This is also my first Harlequin NaNo, and my second time doing NaNoWriMo.

My Goal: Novel NaNo - aim for 44,000 words. I've already started my Modern Heat novel so my goal is to complete the first draft this month.

Good luck everyone :) 

I'm working hard on a romantic suspense, so I'll give it a go!  :-)  I'm about 20K into it, so I pledge to finish it, which means a total 50-60K by the end of Nov. 

Once I write the ms, I'll switch over to the Build your Own and clean up a few projects.

I'd like to join. Is this where we post daily comments or is there a sign up sheet other than here?

NVM I figured it out and signed up on the site. I'm in whoot. I'm going for novella length if I'm inspired for 50k all the better.

This is going to be a blast!  Gonna give this a whirl....thanks so much.

I always like a bit of DIY!

My Nano isn't word count based, I need to reverse word count! I have a 60,000 word plus mess in progress- OMG why did I write that chapter, and that one and that one- total disaster area of a first draft. 

I want it reduced to a taut trim and terrific less that 50,000 word rewritten second draft by the end of November.

I'm officially signing up, and I'm going to do a 60K novel about the pirate hero I've dreamed about since my first Pirate romance novel as a teenager. I know, I know, pirates are sooooo passe...but doggone it, I love them. :)

Looking forward to the frenzy, m'friends.

 Best of luck to everyone!!!

Count me in. I'll try to do at least 500 plus. I'm going to shoot for as many words as I can, above the 25,000 not sure if i can make it 100,000...after all I am only on dialup.

It needs to make sense right? hehehehe...

thanks for having this.

I wrote a novel once before on Nano and think the timing is perfect this year. I want to write a novel for Blaze and this will help me stay focused. The tenative title is Cougars. I look forward to making several friends along the way.

NaNoWriMo - official rules & count - 50k, new material - I'm already signed up on their site, but eHarlequin is cozier, so I'm signing up here as well.

Haven't decided which project yet - got a lot of voices yammering in my head - but I will have something determined by Sunday, Nov. 1.

I recommend Dr. Wicked's Write or Die for individuals (like me) who need encouragement to stay on task.

SandySue, even though your project isn't targeted for Harlequin, we'd still like to hear your progress & cheer you on.

Good luck & good writing to all!

I loooooove Write or Die- I used it a lot to keep me on target while first drafting. I've had no problem with it, but a writing buddy told me it crashed her computer. Not to warn anyone off using it, but you might want to set  a restore point first and save your writing regularly, just in case....

Hales--This is the sign up sheet. I'll be adding a link on Nov 1st to the NaNo page, where we'll be leaving our daily totals. :) We're not terribly official here, so this is all the sign up you have to do.

Pizaseven--Yup, this is separate from the Official Nano. It's our community version.

Rhyanna--you can write whatever you like for our Nano. It doesn't have to be geared to Harlequin lines.

Nancy--You can sign up at any time--or stop at any time, too. Lord knows I won't be able to do much Thanksgiving week.

That being said, I NEED to complete some editing AND write a short story by end of Nov. Period. :)

Dee

Hi Dee...where do we post our words?

At the Nanowri website or here?

Thanks.

Rhyanna

I'm thinking about finishing a project that's in need of re-writing.  35k to go I think.  I just want it finished including all the edits.

DJ

I'm going for the 50000, but over a number of projects

I did sign up on the website and picked my reigons. If anyone would like to be my nano buddy. I'm under user name Mahalia. Happy writing!

~Hales

That's good to know I can post my progress here.  Didn't want to step on any toes for not writing something geared for H/S.  If anyone wants to look me up on the NaNo forums I'm SandySue there, too. 

my goal is to finish my adventure book

Ok Is Harlequin having a separate NANO from the main NANO Contest? I'm confused...sigh

besides trying to reformat hardrive on desktop as laptop goes into shop on Monday...

Rhyanna

I noticed that since my first eHarl nano the rules have changed because then we were told to start a fresh project. We could plot and plan but no actual writing until Nov 1. No 'old' projects allowed, only new ones. Interesting. I need to get my current finished ms edited and ready to submit by New Years so I can see where this will be helpful. On the other hand- it might be confusing to keep accurate word count and daily progress on it.

So, though I want to begin a fresh and exciting nano project- maybe I'll try to work on my first ever nano wip this year instead. It's around 50K and going very slow (began in 2006) and mostly a time filler because I want it just right but have other projects I've written in between. I'm somewhere in the last quarter of the story with an end idea, but no end in sight. Need another 20K at least. But need to lose 20K in edits also, which leaves me with a 50-65K ms (hopefully) when done.

So- no matter which project I finally decide on- I'm in. Also on nano site as cmselfridge.

Happy nano-ing!

I'm so excited about starting!  My hands are anxious to get typing on my new idea that I can barely wait!!! 

I'm starting as soon as the clock stricks 12:01am.
