I'm still researching and planning for a real novel.

I came up with the basic idea in March or so.

I remember when you posted the first chapter.

Is that the fantasy deconstruction one?  I've been looking forward to that.

Yeah, a couple of fragments aside, I have written nothing extra.

And even that chapter I'm reconsidering.  If I want to go with the theme I wanted, I may have to follow the "lowly peasant discovers he is the Messiah" route first, for a while anyway.  The whole thing is a take that to this subtype of the genre, so following the format, at least in the early days, may help.

I'd love to do NaNoWriMo, but I just don't have time.

Might be better to start a REAL novel. You know, the sort that's pre planned and takes longer than a month to write.

The thing about NaNoWriMo is that it's not supposed to result in anything GOOD, but simply that it's supposed to get people writing daily, which is hard to do.

What about go-faster lines?

I will once again be a cheerleader from the sidelines.  I know damn well I don't have the motivation, nor the discipline, to undertake such a thing. 
Yeah, this. I barely got past 1000 words last year and it was all shit. I will have even less time this year so I'm not even going to try.

I have an inspirational sentence all ready to go. It has to do with hair, and urine.

I'll try. Let's see how much drivel I can churn out in one month.

How do we become writing buddies with each other? I do not understand this social networking function.

It helps to know people's nicks ;-)

Mine is enkiv2, I think.
