Each year we have a community wordcount graph like this one(from last year).

Just post in this thread to join the graph! (note, graph will be added shortly but since no one has any word count yet, it will be rather blank for a while ;-) ).

To make things interesting, please give a brief, very high level synopsis of what you are planning to write this NaNo and what genre(s) it represents.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm Tim aka NewMexicoKid.

This year I'm writing my memoirs--stories from my life (my daughter told me she wants to get to know me better). I'm planning to frame them as a series of letters to her, so the stories will be told in the first person. I normally write fantasy and science fiction, so this will bequite a different experience for me.

I am a fan of How I Met Your Mother. One of the things I admired about the writing for that show was the concept of the unreliable narrator. I have, in preparation for this year's NaNo, been thinking about stories from my past. In some cases I no longer remember names of some of the people; but I have to call those people something. HIMYM did this with names like Blahblah ;-)

--Tim

Please add me to the faces graph! I'll be writing a sort of speculative fiction story with a heist/mystery mixed in. Plus teleportation, an altered society, and growing relationships. Basically, girl commits crime, girl meets other girl, girls fall in love, awesome kickass lady detective investigates the crime.

...It's hard to explain, but I'm working hard on my outline now!

Hi. I love this graph thing every year, I'm writing a supernatural/horror ya.

Hi! I'm Eileen/RiverSeal, and I'd love to be on this graph again, it was fun last time. As for what I'm writing, I'm attempting space opera sci-fi this year, since it's something I haven't done before. Basically, an assorted handful of people on a rickety shuttlecraft have to save the moons they were born on from the people who live on the planet below (while trying to prevent a war with the other sentient species in the area in the process).

Pretty pretty graph!

My story is a fantasy. My main character has lived the past 10+ years of her life among enemies, without any childhood memories. She's been told she can't return to her homeland, but not the reason why. She will do anything to learn about her past, including agree to an arranged marriage with the Prime Minister's son in order to spy on the enemy government.

Yay, graph!

My story is a fantasy about a knight trying to protect her queen (who sometimes poses as her squire) while they struggle with inner demons, civil unrest, and the consequences of the nearby forest letting go of its magic.

Hello. I love this graph. This year, I will definitely do it.

I really like keeping track of the group's progress on this graph. Please include me. I've done more prep work on my mainstream fiction novel this year than any other year. The story board workshop helped me make the necessary changes to my original idea to make it more interesting.

Hi,

Please add me to the graph. Going to rewrite my Nano from last year which is a thriller/mystery titled, The Daughters...unless it changes! My Nano handle is bdillvarga.

Thanks, Tim.

Barb

Thank, Tim. Love the graph! Writing Book 2 of my YA historical fantasy series of two teenage girls exchanging places, one from the 1890's, the other from today.

Elaine

add me!!

Sign me up! I find this very motivating!

Add me please! I will be writing something, undecided, that takes place in the same world as my 2014 novel. I'm excited to revisit the world.

Add me as well. Thanks Tim.

I'll be writing revised endings to the first two novels in the BarnYard Heroes series.

Please add me to the graph. I'm a NaNo Rebel working on a murder mystery I started last year and also a nonfiction e-book tentatively titled "Reflections in Nature."

Hello,

I'm writing "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN "S"UPER WOMAN GET'S TIRED??? I started on it last year and plan on finishing it this cycle. It's an Inspirational genre.

Hello there,

I would like to be added to the word count graph.

Thanks,

Adrienne

Clamshell Brainjelly 2 is my Nano for this year.

Hi, Alkamy here. Please sign me up for the graph. I'll be writing apsychological thriller in which a political candidate encounters beings who exist only in pure consciousness during a near death experience.

Add me, please!

It's my first year doing NaNo, and I'll be writing a scifi novel set in the near future a few years after aliens have made first contact with humanity!

Please add me to the graph! I have two projects I'm still debating between for this year's NaNo, either a fantasy set in a RPG fantasy video game, where the main character is an NPC merchant who hates that he's in a video game, but has to help the newest Hero complete it in order to save the game from it's creator, or finishing a LGBT romance I'm already half-finished with. I'll decide on Tuesday which one I'm going with this year. Maybe both!

Me! Me!

I'll be doing a new novel (even though I have like 2 on my back burner now... -sigh-... I actually may work on one of those as well, and log those words under scrtrprncsIm not sure yet.

ANYHOW mine will be chick lit ("womens contemporary fiction") I'm calling it Devils Wears Prada meets The Help. About a gal who takes a job for one of those Forbes 100 women type of bosses.

Hi! Please add me to the graph. I'm going to write a story about a group of people at their 20-year high school reunion who try to solve a mystery by remembering events that happened during their senior year.

Thanks!
Linnea

Yay, the graph!

My ideas have not yet cohered enough to summarize in less than a page, but it'll be an urban-fantasy type thing, but set in a rural area. (Is rural urban fantasy a thing? I'm gonna make it a thing.) With a hefty dose of Gone-Girl-style psychological thriller.

Count me in. I can't wait to actually write 50,000 words! Thanks.

I'm going to complete what I started last year. My novel would qualify as a women's lit/fiction/humor piece. Here is a brief summary:

Often complicated. And not what most people would consider normal. But to be fair, what family can actually claim to be normal? Follow the humorous look into the lives of two estranged half-sisters as they attempt to go about their very different lives yet realize in the end, family matters and you can't make this stuff up.

Eve Lomoro: eveofwrite

I'm sort of new to the nanowrimo world, but I'd like to be in on this graph thing. Hopefully, it will keep me writing. I couldn't make any of the prep workshops except the first. Wish I had been there for the storyboard - I've never done on of those. The Title of my time travel/soul mates romance is FOR ALL TIME.

Hi! I'd love to be added to the graph! My novel is a romance about a romance novelist who embarks on a second chance romance with her first love, who is now one of Hollywood's hottest stars.

Please add me to the graph, i'm writing another YA novel - Thanks, Tim for all you do

See you around

I'm writing a bunch of short stuff, mostly about addressing the digital divide. I would like to point out that last year I wrote 53,378 words in November, so perhaps I've gotten reasonable in my writing. Perhaps.

"The True Enemy" is my novel's working title. I like it because it could potentially refer to 3 different factions, depending on who's point of view the reader takes. I don't like it because I just though of it last night and haven't had time to come up with any alternatives.

Hi! I have been peeking in on your group over the past four years, now I am ready to join in on the fun. I will be working on a play/musical about a tribe of women that saves their sister from an evil troll.

Please add me to the graph.

This year, I'll be taking a break from contemporary romance and going back to my supernatural/fantasy roots with the start of a series about what happens when the fulfillment of a prophecy starts toturna reluctant supernatural's works upside down.

I would also like to join the graph, please.

My story is a fantasy novel, the second part of my NaNo novel from last year. It's about someone who can perceivethe future being manipulated by warring political factions.

Thanks!

I would like to join the graph too!

I'm writing an urban fantasy this year, set in Chicago. My main character is trying to live a normal life, but finds that the magic training from her childhood comes in handy when strange things start to happen in the city.

Howdy!

I'm working on a sci-fi thriller in which a group of patients in a psych ward are the first to anticipate a wide-scale alien invasion. Sadly, no one will believe them. Fun!

Kim

Please add me to the graph! This year I'm continuing my science fiction series that is set aboard a generation ship bound for Tau Ceti. Three hundred years into the mission, as the population grows and resources become scarce, the structured society aboard Earth's Hope begins to fall apart.

you can add me!

Please add me to the graph. This year I am going with current events/alternate history(hopefully!) for my NaNo attempt. A family is split up after revolution breaks out following a contentious election and must fight to get back together and restore order to a shattered country.

Thank you,

Dawn

Hello! I would love it if you could add me please.

My novel is fantasy/steampunk, where two worlds are joined together and just beginning to discover each other. They may or may not get along, considering one of the species has wings. I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with it, but I'm excited!

Hi, please add me to the graph! I'm writing a YA novel loosely based on the balletCoppelia.My characters are ballet students, and there's a new girl who is perfect, and the protagonist is jealous of her... especially when her boyfriend starts showing an interest in the new girl. It turns out that the new girl is actually a robot designed to be the perfect ballet dancer.

I would like to be added to the word count graph.

John Casey

It has begun. I started this year's novel in Jay's room briefly, and then we will move downstairs and have a little more revealed. At this point Jay is a fresh young cadet, but by the time the novel really gets going he will be a few years into the training and will have a rapport built up with Kay.

Hmmm, that was 60 words that don't count toward the total--I need to get back to work!!

Sure add me in :)

I, of course, am in.

Hello!

I'd like to be on the graph again this year.

My YA sci-fi adventure is still taking shape but I'm excited by the possibilities.

Thanks!

Add me please!

I'm essentially writing a medieval fantasy, but still deciding how gay I want to make it.

Hello,

Please add me. I am writing a fantasy novel about Captain Hook as a single father trying to save his daughter from a villainous Pan.

Thank you!

Name (working title): Ben & Tom's Marvelous Misadventure

Because of their chronal waywardness, they find themselves tumbling through periods and locations throughout human history. They do their best to keep their wits about them and cause as small of an impact as possible (i.e. they cause the biggest mess of all time).

Genre: Science Fiction Comedy-ish

I'd love to join!

Hello!

Please add me to the word graph!

This year, I am writing about a young girl who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her parents don't want the burden of her illness, so they put her up for adoption. The story is all about her struggles with the illness and learning to love herself despite the hardships she endures!

Thank you,

Taylor

How in the world do people manage to get such high word counts already?! TT.TT My goal this year was to at least not be in the cluster, but people already have 8K+?

Please excuse me while I reevaluate my life choices. Namely, not taking Nov 1st off.

The Graph! Yes, please!

I'm not sure which is more exciting, seeing the graph itself, or seeing all the familiar faces on it. :)

Please add me to the graph!

I am working on a new version of the novel I wrote for last year's Nano, called The Daughters. It will be a thriller having to do with genealogy and DNA and daughters, but I've added some new characters that may cause this to go in a whole other direction and maybe have to be retitled. Stay tuned.

Barb (aka bdillvarga)

Yes, definitely. Add me, please!

We'd love to be added to the graph! We're writing a literary fiction novel about how people affect each other.

Please add me to the word graph

yay! the graph!!! I have no words yet...unless you count the words i wrote on my story outline while waiting for the doctor...lol!!! I'd like to see where i measure up with other nanoers who will be writing at my same slow pace.

Making good progress on The Three Spinsters of Stueben Street, my 2016 project. This is a family secret saga with alternating chapters going forward from 1918 & backwards from 2016. Based on my own family's story with details imagined by me. My better half made be put a "Fiction" watermarl on each page lest by editors -her mother and a 71 year old cousin forget that it is a novel.

To paraphrase Mac McAllany "It's a semi true story. Some I made up. Some I forgot. But its a semi-true story that all real to me."

Hi,

Please add me to the list. Better late than not.

Novel is literary fiction, exploring what drives a man to risk his engagement to the right woman in order to pursue his fascination with a woman who is all wrong.
