i'm doing the mini version of nanowrimo. i think, four years ago now, i swore it would take me a decade to work up to the real thing...and god, it might actually! LOL.
seriously though, i just signed up today and have been in crazy research/writing mode already. i am PUMPED to start. usually i dread it because of...you know...actually writing instead of just talking/thinking about it but i'm so ready this year.

good luck to you!
