There isn't a region for my area, just a broad "Southern Illinois" region, which I've joined.

Re: NaNoWriMo

Schedule your own write-in!  Pick a coffee shop and put a post out there.  You might be surprised how many are in your situation.  I'm kind of lucky... there are about 1800+ people in my region...  Kind of nice.  We've even got our own google calendar for all the write-ins...

Re: NaNoWriMo
According to my region stats, I make up approximately 8% or so of the words written in my region. Besides, I prefer to write in solitude, and I'm not good with schedules due to school, homework, etc.

Carbondale's about a half-hour drive from where I'm at. Being 14, I don't always have reliable transportation, and I simply don't know the location of anything in Carbondale.

Re: NaNoWriMo

Is to get all mixed up in re-thinking what we've got now.  If we go back and edit one thing, we'll go back and edit fifty or more...  Do that and we'll never get done...  Hence the deadline!

It's our work.  Whatever we want to do with it is what happens...

 

Some authors just leave it by the wayside and go on to other things...

Me?  I got plans baby!

Re: NaNoWriMo

Usually....  How good, or unbelievably crappy and horrible is your first draft?

 

I'm just wonderin'.....

Re: NaNoWriMo
How long does it take for you to complete a draft, and on average how many words are they composed of?

Re: NaNoWriMo
You need an editor. Otherwise, what would editors do with their time?

Re: NaNoWriMo

I just finally ticked over 20,000....  I need to fake my own death, go hide out in some skanky hotel room and write!  I'm just not finding the time to get that many words in...

 At this rate, I'll never catch up to you... Which is alright... I'm finally at the place where I get to write the scene with the Assassin gutting the evil hacker dickweed.  I've been waiting to write this scene for quite awhile now and it's finally here!  Blood and gore for everyone!

Who would work on my or JT's budget.  That would of course be a budget of zero dollars, or as we like to call it, 'the shaft'....

Due to a massive migrain, I only got about 300 words today.

Re: NaNoWriMo
If you haven't read it, I highly recommend Stephen King's book "On Writing." It's actually entertaining, but one of the best serious digests of writing advice I've ever seen/read. He talks specifically about all the stuff you're involved in--the discipline of writing so many words per day, attainable objectives, writer's block, theme, re-writes (drafts), etc.: all oriented toward the novel. It's excellent. Oh, and watch out--there might be two more joining you next November...
