Sounds interesting when you put it like that!  I always thought of NaNoWriMo as a solitary experience. So there are forums and cheerleading and discussions and such? 

I usually stick to WriSoMiFu (write something you miserable fuck) on LJ for the hilarity (you pledge to write 10mins a day and check in consists of saying how badly you're doing - it's hilarious trust me) but maybe I should try the real thing sometime.  Will most definitely consider it. 

Thank you!  I appreciate it!  :-)
