Countdown to NaNoWriMo

by

I just realized that NaNoWriMo will be starting on a Saturday. I like that; I think it will help a lot of people to be able to get things rolling on a weekend rather than trying to start in the traditional work week. Will that help more people finish?

No idea.

There are just five days to go and I’m still not decided on whether or not I will be participating. I have been playing with the idea of posting what I write here and allowing people to unleash their plot ninjas on my story, but I would hate to have something come up and not be able to complete it. Plus there is always the time factor, not to mention that would end up being a lot of long posts people would have to trudge through.

While I deliberate about my participation and whatnot, I’m wondering what would be of most benefit to you the readers? Would you like a daily/weekly check in? A place to relax? Or would you like something more along the lines of random plot twists or other types of inspiration?

I liked having the weekly NaNo breaks last year, but if there is something you would like better…

I’m not lacking for ideas, by any means; I am just indecisive. (A wonderful thing to be with less than a week to go…)

Today I have two polls for you, one simple and one only marginally more complicated. They’ll both help me in deciding how to direct my efforts in November, though, so I appreciate your votes.
