The official NaNoWriMo is still months away (Nov 2014). What are you doing NOW to prepare for it?

Sub-board: Workshops

No plot? No problem? Or is it? Gulp! Use this board to help with your NaNoWriMo plot buddies, fish for ideas, or even get feedback on if your plot even makes sense.

Sub-boards: Character, Setting

What are your tips and tricks for surviving NaNoWrimo? Maybe you don't shower for 30 days or only eat foods that rhyme with orange. Perhaps you only speak in iambic pentameter or refuse to talk to anyone whose name isn't William or Chris. Or maybe, just maybe you just sprint until your eyes bleed. Either way, share your tips, tricks, hints and secrets here.

Sub-boards: Playlist, Nano Recipes

Let's hook up tinderly, NaNoWriMo style.

Sub-boards: Social Media Promotion, Rebels, Genre, Regional

Rah Rah Rah! Do you need a pick me up? Has your NaNo got you down and you feel like giving up? Or maybe you just want to cheer other people on as they count down those words! Post here and we'll rally around you and give you what you need.

Sub-board: Motivational Graphics

One November hits, use this board to post your daily word count totals.

Have a section of writing you want feedback on? Want another set of eyes or twenty to tell you what they think? Simply put a 500 word (at a time) section of writing here and get others thoughts.

Are you looking for someone to critique your work, but you want to have a relationship with that person. It's more than just reading a few pages and being done, but a mutual reading and open honesty with each other's work. If this seems like something you're interested in, put out an ad here about yourself, your work, and your writing and perhaps you'll find 'the writing one'.

Are you stuck? Burnt out? Ready to throw in the towel? Massive paper cut? This is the place to seek help and refuge with your writing.

Tips and Tricks for this wacky thing we call writing.

Sometimes you just need a challenge. Here we post our own writing challenges (ie: ways to stretch our writing). If you have a challenge from another writing community or would just like to start up one (such as writing 5000 words a day for a week) or any of the like, feel free to start a topic or join in on one that's already set.
