I think I'll be giving it another go this year, as Newsjack will have conveniently finished the week before.

Have done (and won) NaNoWriMo 5 times previously, 2007-2011. Though I've never continued with those novels outside of November. Will see if I can actually plot something this year rather than just being a pantser, and aim to carry it on after November and have something to show for it.

Yes - me too. I've "won it" twice myself.

Both sitting on my laptop waiting to be sharpened up and smoothed out.

Mine abruptly stop, so I guess I'll probably try working out the ending first and working backwards for a change.

And two of them stop when they were handwritten. (From the days when I didn't have a portable computer) I don't think I have the will to type them up.

I'm in this year.

And hopefully hit 50k. If I like it, I'll spend early 2015 making it longer, then editing it to a proper full novel

Could we have a version of NaNaNo where we have to write as many radio plays as possible?

They had that as a separate event a while back entitled "ScriptFrenzy." Used to be in April. I think there are still people that do scripts in November under the NaNoWriMo.org banner. Check out their NaNo Rebels forum on their website.

Work out the ending? That's cheating!

I just start writing and see where it goes.

I've got a couple of them too.

Planning to do this again this year. Maybe this time I'll prepare something.

After a few years gap I'm planning to have a go at this again this year.

Yay!
I have a big project due in on Oct 31st so I can't spare any brain cells to plan my Nano book like I normally do. But I'm sure I'll still be doing it.

I know you've done it before. Have you done it lately?

I've half done it a few times, not done it properly for ages. Something always seems to come up in November that means I have to drop it and work on something else.
