After a couple of years of not participating, I think I’m going to give NaNoWriMo a go again. You know what I think I’d really like to write? Just a Harry Potter fanfic for me. I’m intensely curious as to what happens with the next generation of witches and wizards. What does a post-Voldemort world look like anyway? So, I think that’s what I’m going to do. Just have a little bit of fun and not worry about it. I’m a little bit rusty writing-wise anyway. My username is “danahuff” if you want to friend me on NaNoWriMo’s site. I don’t know how active I’ll be in the forums.
NaNoWriMo is fun for me because everyone else is also trying to write, so I feel like I’ve got this invisible support network. Plus I feel like it’s a fun way to start a book. I have a couple of books partially written that need to be finished (and need quite a lot of editing), but NaNoWriMo gives me the push to get started writing—even if I need to find something else that gives me the push to finish and edit.
So what do you say? With me? It could be fun.
Sounds like a super fun project! I hope you do awesome! I’m not doing NaNoWriMo (I never do, I am horribly lazy), because I’ll be traveling for a lot of November, and I don’t want to give it an unfair shot. But I’ve been writing a lot and I’m hoping that in February or March I can have a go at writing a large set number of words in a month. 30K at least, right? That’s manageable even in winter?

Totally manageable. I am already making notes for this project. It’s super liberating to have a project that is just for my own entertainment. I mean, obviously, I can’t try to publish it or anything. But in terms of just having a good time? On it.
Such a good idea! I hope you have a blast with it. Its so important to stick to whimsical fun projects sometimes; huge stress reliever.

Thanks! Those were my thoughts exactly—just to have fun and write something I really would like to read.
