NaNo Tips & Strategies
	Character and Plot Realism Q&A What color paper do TPS report covers go on? Do pregnant whales get morning sickness? What sort of mayhem could a clown create using only balloons? Could a hero hide his broadsword in a wombat? You have a question. Someone out there has an answer. Moderator: cybele karalianne	6006	54901	2007/9/27 2:00 NovaeFire

	Reaching 50,000! Everything from deep spiritual wisdom to down-and-dirty word-count tricks to help keep that book moving along towards the 50K finish line. Moderator: cybele raeble	827	29184	2007/9/26 6:35 August Falcon
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.

NaNo Groups
	NaNoWriMo Alumni Lounge The place for returning Wrimos to swap tales of their off-season literary exploits, and bring everyone up to date on the state of their previous NaNo manuscripts. 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.

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.

	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	379	6336	2007/9/24 17:07 Sam Junno
