NaNoWriMo 2012, Mizahar style!

Hello Mizaharians,

like every year in November, we are going to do National Novel Writing Month on these boards, which technically makes us NaNo-rebels. Be sure to feed your inner writer throughout November (either that or your personal army of monkeys on typewriters.)

I'm not sure, what is this about?
If you can write 50,000 words of IC posts on a single PC account in November, you win and get a shiny medal. If you can't, you can make up cool and fantastic excuses as to why you couldn't - and if they are cool and fantastic enough, then maybe, just maybe a special "the dog ate my post" medal.

Do I have to fill out any paperwork to sign up? Don't turn this site into the IRS!
You don't. Everyone with a PC account is automatically a participant. You can't hide from me.

Do I have to keep track of my word count? Numbers are evil!
Just like last year, I'll post daily word scoreboards for all accounts on the site. These numbers will include posts on the IC boards in threads that don't contain "OOC" in their titles - simple as that.

But what about time zones? I live on the International Space Station...
As usual, I'm going to be very lenient with respect to timezones. I'll be counting time from the very moment November 1st dawns on the world to the very last minute of November 30th in New Zealand or wherever the date change line is.

I'm out of defensive questions for now.
Good, now go plan your November threads then!

I so love NaNoWriMo Mizahar Style! And in honor of it coming up so quickly, I've cleaned out the old NaNo Forum and put up a fresh OOC thread for our NaNo Chatter.

I've also started a NaNoWriMo Calendar Contest!

Come on everyone! Let's get excited for NaNo. Who all is going to try for the 50,000? Are you?

Oh man we are just recovering from last year! Well here it is again. Doubtlessly this is going to be fun if done correctly. I will have to PM some people and set up some things. I have a few characters I could definitely keep busy all of November.

Oh man I am in...again.

This time though I have a plethora of characters around me so it should be easy. I am looking forward to it.

This is the final reason for me joining, so of course I am. Only need to squeeze out a cs in due time.

It's always the worst time of the year for me, major bummer but I have 2 deadlines for Uni during November, so I'm not going to be able to

I hope everyone has tons of fun churning out the words!

I'll be perfectly honest. I look forward to NaNo because I'm going to use the time to clean up and finish all my threads that are YEARS old in terms of solos. I'll be starting new threads with my PC, but man alive, NaNo is just the perfect excuse to get out and FINISH STUFF!

Agreed on the old threads part. (solos and otherwise)

I plan on doing one solo /long story for justifying that grab bag item I got in RF and working on the rest.

Here's to hoping I have the free time this year.

Looking forward to hitting the goal this time. I think I have some interested possibilities roiling along Sahova.

I am very excited to participate. I think I joined Mizahar as just the right time!
