Unfortunately I missed out again this year (was totally unprepared when Nov. 1st rolled around, as per usual) but I like to see how many people actually participate/know about it, see if anyone cares to share their favorite helpful sites, pinterest pins, etc. Hardly anyone I know has heard of it, sadly, but I'm determined to have at least ONE idea come next November. >:[

"We Don't Care If You LIKE The Game, Just As Long As You BUY The Game!"
I Disapprove (Naturally)
I Took The Pledge!
It can be hard to come up with inspiration, I'm usually a pantser and will sometimes just go off of just on little scene I want to do or whatever and build from there as I write. Of course this would scare the crap out of me during NaNoWriMo, but I might try it one year. Of course I'm working on a novel like that too, that just started from one little scene... it's been 3 years, I have 10k words. Doesn't give me hope about working that way. LOL. Of course if I worked on it more it would help. XD
I don't really know anything for helpful sites. Other than for ideas I like to mess around on Seventh Sanctum, I'm just play around with the writing challenge generator and see what it gets me. I've actually gotten quite a few good ideas from there, though I've gotten some (a lot of) bad ones. When I'm done NaNoWriMo I have a story I'm working on that I used that site for inspiration on and I'm just having a blast with it. So if you need/want ideas it might be worth checking it out.

@dreamerz13 - Haha I do that too. I have so many ideas in my head and I want to start writing them, but then when I actually sit down to do so I'm like "WAIT. NaNo is sooooonnnnn!" lol. I like Seventh Sanctum, but I wish some of their stuff wasn't so...... silly. You know? Or more suited for D&D.
@MelanieSimlish - Agreed. Jumping in in the middle is just more stress than I need. My friend who's participating calculated that you need to write about 5k words a night to complete the goal, I think? Or something like that, idr. But jumping in in the middle, you'd have to write for hours and hours a day just to catch up. >> I'm stressed enough as it is without that on my head lol.
@Sue_D_Nim - Lady Gaga is overrated anyway haha.
