O...M...G...I've Done It

It's been four months since I last posted which is completely disgusting.
So I'll just jump in here like I never flaked out on y'all and make my announcement:

I just joined NaNoWriMo.

For the first time.

Ever.

And I'm terrified.




Not terrified like BOO a monster just jumped out of my closet to eat my eyeballs or anything, but terrified because I'm doing this to help myself and to prove to myself that I can accomplish something I've been wanting to do for years.

So I joined today and I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT.
Is anyone else in my boat?
If you want to friend me(PLEASE), my username is Jules11.
I'd love to know who all has joined this craziness with me!

I'm looking forward to it even though I usually don't even get home until around 8 every night of the week which means some long nights for me.

So wish me luck and any advice you NaNo experts can give would be much appreciated!

To anyone who has joined or has done it in the past: How did you come up with an idea?
Have any of you ever just jumped into your writing on November 1st with no idea where you would go from there?

Happy Almost November!!!

  2. I'm doing NaNo and am so excited to get started! I have my story idea picked out and it has an outline. I've been meaning to write this story for some time and now NaNo has got me motivated to finally do it. I'll look you up on NaNo (my username is Nickles). Good luck!

  3. I'm doing Nano! It is stressful and exciting, but more exciting.

    My advice: Just write.

    I'll friend you!

  5. Welcome back!

    I'm not sure if I'm doing Nano. I'm in the middle of revisions. But if I do, I have a vague idea and not much else, so basically I'll be pantsing:) Good luck!
