NaNoWriMo Official Banner, Personal Invitation, and Buddy Request!

It is getting closer to Nano November. I am stoked that I made a decision about what project to take on. Which opened the floodgates of ideas.  That’s not exactly a good thing as it is much too early. I can’t write anything for 14 more days and I am worried about forgetting these little plot snippets.

I gave this a lot of thought.Personally, I am a pantser. I am not a plotter, I am not exactly sure what the acceptable and unacceptable points on plotting and planning are for Nano, so I continue to play little games with myself.  I have seen posts where people outline their book in the time leading up to Nano and others that say research is fine.  I am researching and thinking, but until 2 am this morning, I had not written anything down.  

 I decided to use creative license and send myself  a vague email with little hints in order to have them during my writing month.  It was the only way to turn off the questions roaming around in my easily stimulated brain and grab a few hours of sleep.

Need a buddy on the NaNoWriMo site? I would love to have you join me and share the adventure. Here is my Nano info! Vicki Goodwin Buddy Link.
