Better yet, I wish I had that much time on my hands to actually create this – because it’s VERY cool! :)

It’s a long-ish one, but totally worth it. If you don’t laugh, you obviously haven’t been in the writing scene for too long. ;)

Today’s comic by Debbie pokes a little fun at NaNo nicknames. Unfortunately, mine isn’t related to NaNo at all. I’m ‘simplywriting’ over on the boards. Why? Because I’m simply writing. Well, actually – that’s how the nickname started years ago, but I use it on the boards because it is the name I most often go by on the ‘net.

If I was going to come up with a NaNo specific nickname, it would probably be ‘BringMeMoreCoffeeICan’tStopTyping’. Yep, that’s it.

So what is your nickname and why did you choose it? If it isn’t NaNo specific, what would YOUR NaNo name be?

NaNoWriMo Edward

Ha! I was gagging right along with him. However, it is true. Writer’s all get their inspiration from a wide variety of places. I don’t have one singular place I get it from. It all depends on what I am writing about.

I usually do several weeks of research before I sit down to start writing. I research setting, characters, occupations,  names, etc.

I am not much of an outliner, but I do take notes. So what are you doing to prep for NaNo?

It’s time. Finally I feel as if there is a true countdown to begin. We are getting closer everyday and I’m so ready to work. I have plot bunnies galore running through my brain and I am just trying to sort it all out.
Are you ready to get started?

This comic couldn’t ring more true for me. I have the restraint needed to keep from writing, but it’s difficult to say the least!

Do you have the urge to write?
