Hi, I'm new to the forum. I found a link from Nanowrimo's website. I write YA fantasy, and I'm interested in trying to actually finish a story or two. I had unfortunate circumstances stop me from finishing nanowrimo and I love the idea of this board.

My uncle died halfway through.... kind of put me off writing for a while, But thank you for the welcome Aw man, I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand. M y grandmother died halfway through NaNo this year. I stopped dead in the water for a while with everything after that...then ended up writing madly just to stay sane in the midst of dealing with that and everything that life decided to throw at us simultaneously. Then I stopped dead in the water again. :-P So this year I'm trying to get back into things too.
So, to all members, I say -- *raises glass of strawberry fizz, whatever that is* here's to kicking off 2015, a year full of climbing plot mountains, long journeys, and wins! :-D

Hello! My name is Jacob, I'm a 17 year old high school student in the currently extremely frigid regions of Wisconsin. I've never written much, but always fantasized about actually writing something significant. After hearing about NaNoWriMo, and seeing that I missed it this year, I'm excited to try my hand at the February or March challenge.

Not really, but beginning the planning of writing something on this scale is making ideas bounce around easy.

Hey everyone, I'm R.A. Lewis, or celticzombie. I am a first time author and I just finished my first draft of my first novel, started during NaNoWriMo this year and finished TODAY! I plan on publishing by June and have already started the editing process. Super excited It's a post-apocalyptic adventure novel. Part one of nine!! Anywho, about me, 28, have two degrees from UO in Psychology and Sociology. I love people, clearly. I love to read, write, binge watch TV shows, nerd out over random things, sleep, learn, research, and day dream. I LOVE zombie movies. When I'm having a bad day, zombies always make me feel better. Oh, and I believe in bigfoot and ghosts. So I hope that gives you a good look at who I am. Feel free to chat with me!

celticzombieWelcome to Steve! Congrats on finishing your NaNo novel, by the way! If you want to jump in to January stuff, feel free to sign up, or if you just feel like hanging out, that's fine too.

Hello! I'm a 35 year old Ohioan who's honestly just getting started with actual writing. I've been writing fanfiction for anime for years, and after finishing, editing and completely wrapping up a 321k word fic in under 2 months, I had a few people mention I should get into writing original novels, so I've been looking for challenge sites because it seems like it would be more fun to write like this!
When I'm not writing, I'm a voice actor and mother of 4, I love watching anime and reading manga and camping. It's a pleasure to meet you all!

Hello jasminflower and welcome to Steve! We've got January stuff winding up here, but feel free to jump right in, if you want. Otherwise, you're just in time for February! Got any idea what you would like to do yet?

Yeah, I've come up with the idea to try and finish a 100k book a month for the next year. It should be an interesting series, so I'm dabbling with story lines til February starts.

Wow, that sounds like a big challenge! Are all 12 books in the same series?
