Nanotime!

I wasn't going to do NaNoWrimo this year as I have a ton of other things on my plate. But last night-- wham.I had a dream that included setting, plot starter, and characters. So here I am again. I'm usually a NaNo failure though-- I've only ever completed it once, back in 2006. However it is fun to try. So....

1. Are you doing NaNo this November? Why, or why not?

2. How do you feel about the challenge of writing a novel(la) of 50k words in a month?

3. If you have tried before, did you succeed? Fail? A bit of both?

4. What advice do you have to a would-be-novelist (NaNo or otherwise)?

5. Are you a plotter that outlines everything ahead of time, or are you more into figuring it out as you go along?

6. What will your novel be about this year? Who are the characters? What is the plot?

7. What NaNo support would you like to see charloft offer?
