Hi all! I'm letheschild (or lethe, never child!) over from the old forums, and the darkest depths of Terror Australis - well, rural Victoria. Life is fairly humdrum, though with the occasional interruption from kookaburras and hawks, the latter having decided to raise a nest in my backyard. This month I'm working on 'Marked' (temp. title), an urban fantasy with (hopefully) hints of noir. March has already begun over here, so I'll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone!

Hi all! Call me Marshmellow, it's my real-life nickname, lol. I'm 19 & kind of aimless. Uhm, I've done NaNo twice, first year I'm doing anything outside November. Takin it slow this time, seein how i do. I like all different kinds of music, I write mainly Paranormal Romance, and I'm so random sometimes it's hard for my fingers to keep up with my brain.

Welcome! I've missed a few of you while finishing up FebNo. Sorry. Hello Elf! Good luck on your 50k & CC. Happy late birthday, Faye! Lethe - good luck to you, too. Marshmellow? LOL Love it I never had a great nickname growing up. Luckily, I never had a bad one either! \o/ points for that, I guess!

Hi all, I'm Norodenn. I'm 19 (will be 20 on March 12th), French and a medicine student. I've been writing fanfics and original fics somewhat regularly for four years now. I won NaNo '10 with 80k and my first novel (fantasy).
This month I was supposed to write something about African lesbian pirates, and ended with a Victorian romance plot which came to me two days ago. So yeah, we'll see how it goes - almost no plot, but who cares ?
Good luck everyone ! =)

Hi folks,
I'm so glad I found a place like this. I was quite disappointed after losing JanNoWriMo and I couldn't participate in FebNo, so MarNoWriMo is perfect for me. This time, I've got all the time I need, at last.
I'm aiming at only 25k because I'm a slow writer. I mean, reaaaaaaaaaly.
I'll be writing fantasy.
PS: I'm from Poland, so pardon my English.

Welkom Kasander! Wel every one types at his own speed And don't worry about your English, I can understand it and you're not the only not native English speaker over here. So people just have to accept your English - at least, that's what I think when I'm rambling in English haha-

Hey all, I'm Flatiron, which if you've been to Boulder, Colorado you know how unoriginal that is as a moniker. One day a long while ago I needed a username and looked out the window where I could not see the flatirons here, but instead imagined that I might be able to see them if I had a better view, instead of the one I had, and so that name went into the form and voila, I've used it in numerous contexts since. Anyway, I'm currently happily without work, for the first time in a while, and as always, seem to come back to my love of writing, of story, of that moment when you tap in to that stream of storytelling that we've been doing for hundreds of thousands of years and get that feeling that you are funneling raw discovery through whatever craft you can bring to the task. And yet, without a deadline, it happens more infrequently than I'd like, so I'm very glad to find that someone's thrown down the gauntlet for March, rather than having to wait until November! Maybe with a deadline and a few fellow sojourners, I'll have the structure that I haven't been able to conjure from thin air over the last few weeks. (And if you're wondering what this flatirons business is, on this page there is a pic of them with Long's Peak to the north, which I can see out the window of the cafe I'm sitting in at the moment: blogtherockies.com/2008/06/30/summertime-in-boulder-colorado/ ) Anyway, best of luck to everybody, and thanks to marsbareater for setting up the forum!

Hey y'all! I'm Lauren, AKA Xenexian I'm 14 (15 in April ) and I love writing so much Last november was my first ever NaNoWriMo, and WriMo, ever. It failed epically at 27K, though I did much better in JanNo (15K), FAWM (15 songs) and FebNo (11K). I'm taking part in a thing called Noveldom and Beyond over a period of three months, starting yesterday and finishing on 31st May. It's a reading contest I'm planning on doing 15 timed artistic challenges this year, maybe more So that's... * JanNo* FebNo* FAWM*No&Be *MarNo *SCrenzy *April Fools *JulNo *50/90 *AugNo *GothNoWriMo *NaNo *DecNa *WriYe and *NoWriYe Crazy, huh?
