I’m contemplating doing it this year. I was too badly burnt out last year because of icky day job. That went away, and so’s the burnout. I’ve got an idea, but it would take a metric crapload of research. Not sure I could get downtown to a decent research library before it starts, though. ---

I’m doing NaNo this year. I’ve never contemplated my idea for so long, yet planned my plot so little before. This weekend is going to be a marathon of outlining and laundry. You can always just hand-wave some things if you don’t have time for the research, and edit or add it later. ---

Isn’t the object of the NaNuNaNuNaNu exercise, a quantitive one, and not qualitative. 50Ks worth of a rough outline of a first draft in 30 days, would more than qualify you as a ‘Winner’. Quite often you’ll read of members of Scriv’s crew, going on to develop the stuff they churned out in this or that year’s effort, into a full-blown literary work. The research can be done at your leisure, without the stress of a deadline. 😉 Take care vic ---

I’m in! Though hopefully my binder will be filled with something other than bibble-dee babble-du nanu blork! Though, perhaps the Swedish Chef could make an appearance this year. And if there are any other bilge rats around, I’ll be at the Portland kick-off party later today. ---

Too bad there’s not a “Elsewhere: Lit & Latte-via” region we could all join. Not that it would really do anything really, but… you know… it’d be neat. Like having a secret handshake or something. ---
