NaNo Tips & Strategies
	Character and Plot Realism Q&A Could a dog accidentally hotwire a go-kart? How much does a Singapore Sling cost in Malaysia? How might a murderous beautician immobilize her clients using only hair-care products? And how many bats can you fit in a breadbox? You have a question. Someone out there has an answer.

Life During NaNo
	Games, Diversions, and Other Exciting Forms of Novel Procrastination If there's one thing more fun than working on your novel in November, it's not working on your novel in November. Come here for a relaxing mental vacation full of bumping, egregriously erroneous information, movie-title tag, word-association, and much, much more. Moderator: cybele	536	94677	2006/9/21 9:56 shizu_bara
	I Hate Myself and Want to Die I knew it was going to be bad, but not this bad. A clubhouse for novelists in distress. Moderator: cybele	2370	39968	2006/9/21 9:52 Kandybar
	This is Working Far Better Than I Had Hoped In the zone and on a roll, I am an unstoppable novel-writing dynamo. Moderator: cybele	836	12421	2006/9/20 23:31 Ravenwing

	NaNo Soundtracks From polka to punk, music is the most powerful writing stimulant available without a prescription. What CDs do you rely on for writing inspiration? And what are your characters listening to? Moderator: cybele	390	7669	2006/9/21 10:21 TheDigitalNomad
	NaNo Technology PC? Cell phone? Smoke signals? What technology (or lack thereof) are you going to use to write your novel this year? Moderator: cybele	370	4190	2006/9/21 10:10 Pencilone

	Self-promotion, DIY marketing, and stuff for sale Spread the word about your just-released book, sell off your old Alphasmart, or read about special Wrimo-only deals being offered by otherwise-reputable companies. Moderator: cybele	236	839	2006/9/21 0:27 Rolnikov
	The Polling Booth Survey says: post your polls here! There's nothing like a good multiple choice question. Moderator: cybele	491	8303	2006/9/21 2:56 Starsara
NaNoWriMo, Etc.
	Rules, Regulations, and Other Minutiae Do interrelated short stories constitute a novel? If my main character is just me with a different name, does that count as fiction? How can I claim to have written a novel in a month if I hit 50,000 words and am only halfway through? Shouldn't this be called National Novella Writing Month? And why is it called "national" if people are doing this all over the world? The place where the detail-oriented gather to ponder the fine print.

Anyone publish? Perish? Also: Every year of NaNoWriMo opens up new worlds of writerly possibility and pain. Year Two tends to be the hardest for most Wrimos.
