I'm not hard up for a plot, I have now three that I could be doing.  Good advice, though, I do tend to have really weird dreams...

I'm NaNoing! I haven't been on the boards, is there still a free book prize? Last time I "won", I wrote a book for my son and got a free copy from Lulu. Then Lulu quit, there was a stale year, but then who? Cafe Press? Amazon? Offered a free bound copy? Are they doing it this year? I have a little girl who loves a mystery... I had tons of fun one year writing a 'create your own adventure'. It was craptastically funny.

I know, but there seemed to be so few options. Hrmm....

Just a check-in. How's the participants doing with wrapping up their novels in this last week?

I stink! I've had way too many end-of-semester projects.

Ermmm, was I actually supposed to be writing for NaNoWriMo, and not just talking about it here?

My total right now's about 36k words...I need to bump it up a notch. I keep barely making the day's quota...3 minutes before the next day begins.

Fantasy, it's a dragon novel.

 I will totally cheer for your 36k, and I am most decidedly NOT going to ask what the day's quota is - failing is failing, and I don't need to know by how much!

I'm wondering what to do when I finish, though. I'm thinking I'll write it down and edit it from there, but...hmmm.
I'll just concentrate on getting the words out for now.
