I write screenplays to make my own movies and short videos so NaNoWriMo wouldn't be a good fit for me, but I know know quite a few people who do participate in it and are making some good progress in finishing their novels.<br /><br />From what I've read, NaNoWriMo seems like a really cool contest. It helps to make writers challenge themselves to complete something, which is a great feeling when you get it all done...but, I'm sure you already know that and experience that.<br /><br />I'd buy myself a good ol' cupcake to celebrate if I completed a manuscript in 4 weeks, or even 11 months.<br /><br /><a href="http://madlabonline.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a>Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-84249027154320015802011-04-17T08:13:21.711+10:002011-04-17T08:13:21.711+10:00This line busted me up “It will make it a lot hard...This line busted me up “It will make it a lot harder for you to drop out after 539 words.”Southpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539290964546504171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-33727537589980088362011-04-17T04:50:36.698+10:002011-04-17T04:50:36.698+10:00I always wondered what the NaNo... meant and now I...I always wondered what the NaNo... meant and now I know.

My first year was 2009, also. I've been writing pretty steadily since then and have a half-polished MS and a nearly finished one under my belt. Without NaNo, none of that would have happened.
