I didn't know Danni was doing it, that's awesome! I don't know about kicking any literary ass, though... Especially when you have so many buckets of experience under your belt. All I know is that we're going to rock NaNo, and it will be awesome. And life is absolutely better with a dog around. I wish I had my big slobbery boy Drover to cuddle while I write, but he lives in back home and fears cars and stairs. Also, he has a tendency to lay his hundred-plus pound self on me if I stop petting him. And Beulah only spends three days a week down here, and she lacks the patience for that sort of thing. I have to make do with my stuffed dalmatian Baskerville... And maybe visiting the shelter just to chill with puppies... Family noveling FTW! I didn’t know Danni was doing it, that’s awesome!

Also, it was all on her own initiative. /sigh. A parent has to strive to live up to their children's expectations. I also learned this morning that my son is also going to try this, through his high school writer's club. Family noveling FTW, indeed! Who says that writers are solitary creatures? :) The very best of luck to you and yours!

A lot of people just sit down at the keys on November 1, start typing, and see what comes out. I hope you have fun with it. That's the most important part. Awesome that your daughter is participating too. Did she do it with her class last year? I love my cat, but he tends to fight the computer for my lap. There often isn’t any prep!

My main goal has been just to ramp up my word count (with little success). My 12 yr old daughter is also joining in the fun. Or rather, it would be more appropriate to say I'm joining her, since this is my first and her second year. We'll have to see if we can make do without the large dog, however. The cats would likely object. I didn’t realize there was so much prep to do before NaNoWriMo! My main goal has been just to ramp up my word count (with little success).
