NaNoWriMO 2014

NaNoWriMo 2014 starts in just 6 days on November 1. NaNoWriMo challenges you to write 50,000 words in 30 days. It breaks down to 1667 words a day. I tried it last year for the first time and fizzled out at about 15,000 words. I lost steam, motivation, and ideas. This year I'm trying again.

My idea for this year's writing came from a dream I had a few weeks ago. The dream gave me two main characters, their names, and occupations. Plus a vague idea of what should occur between them. When I woke I wrote down as much as I could remember and knew I needed to find out what would happen next. I'm very excited about giving this story a go.

Have you ever participated in NaNoWriMo? If so, how did you do? If not, why not give it a shot?
