Good morning, NaNoMoJo! We have just under four weeks until liftoff. There are, like, a hundred and sixteen of you watching this community, so why don't we introduce ourselves? Writing is fun, ending up with a novel is more fun, but meeting people is awesomeWho are you

Name's Dea or Jenn. I first learned of NaNo in...2003, and said I was doing it, but didn't actually get any further than a vague plot and one scene. Planned on doing it the year after that, totally forgot. In 2005, I really wanted to do it, but my hand ended up in a cast for 8 weeks, 4 of which were the month of November... In 2006 I did 30k in like a week, got stuck, and forgot about it. In 2007, I didn't do it. In 2008, I actually won! In 2009, I did 10k in a few of days, sat out a couple more, switched plots, did like 20k in two days...and then wasn't "feeling" it and quit.

The year I won, by the way, I didn't actually complete a novel. I have a bunch of scenes, but no finished product. This year I'd like to compete, not switch products halfway through, win and actually FINISH something. The finishing part is important to me, because it's something I can never do.

As for what I'm writing...no idea. I have several ideas I'm playing with at the moment, but nothing that screams NaNo. I will say that it's probably YA, and most likely will have some fantasy to it, probably urban fantasy/paranormal romance. Though I'm not sure about the romance...
