It amuses me to see this post. A few days ago I had a dream that it was suddenly five days into November and that NaNoWriMo had started without me! I was in such a stressed panic that I hadn't thought of what to write about and I was already behind.

I would like to participate again this year. Last year was my first time and I had a lot of fun with it although it was very stressful in parts. I had reached the 50k line by the 25th but I never finished my novel. It ended up with a mind of its own and I just followed my muse.

I'd really like to continue on from what I was writing last year. Maybe add another 50k words but I would also really like to write new material. I see NaNoWriMo as a wonderful writing exercise that gives me ideas that I can maybe re-write later on. Nothing I ever write follows a proper layout.

I don't think I would have done very well last year without the support of this community and its members. The daily prompts for the word counts to keep you on track and the little quotes and questions were a wonderful break. They were also really inspiring at different moments. I hope that it will be the same again for this year.
