    I'm good! I moved across the U.S. and everything is finally settling down from the big move and I have time for Mibba again (and hopefully writing) :D How are you? I'll keep an eye out for your story, do you have a title yet?

    Hey, you're back on Mibba! How are you? Cute

    You definitely don't have to write a 100% new story (though most people do). Honestly, if you could write 50,000 words in one month and work on many different stories, I'd be so impressed because I'd get so distracted if I had that many projects going on at once XD

    I'm participating again this year but I don't have a summary up yet. You should check it out when I'm posting it though! Cute

    You could put your other stories on a whole, or choose one to work on and make it your goal to add 50,000 to what you have!

    Another way about it is to find a month when you aren't busy and work as if it was November - get to 50,000 or whatever you can over that amount and when November comes around next year - post it. Some would consider this "cheating" but I think it's just working a novel writing month into a busy schedule.

    That, of course, is if you plan to use the Nanowrimo website. If not, the idea of writing 50,000 between stories is also good. Everyone does something different and I honestly suspect that some people start writing well before Nano anyways. I'm doing mine, link in signature, about myself in a weird way but not really. It's a "paranormal" for skeptics, realistic YA fiction for believers.

    I'm definitely going to check out your stories and see if there's something I can work with as far as 200 words goes! (I only have a summary and "prologue" for Twenty-One, which is my Nano, but if I do comment I'd appreciate feedback. The "words" link goes to a poem instead of putting the poem in my summary.)
