I'm giving NaNoWriMo a shot this month. I'd tried it several years ago, but didn't get very far, as it was the first time HP tried to lay me off. I doubt I'll hit the 50,000 word goal this time, but this time I have a sooper sekret weapon up my sleeve - I spend anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours on the train every weekday, and most of that lately has been spent playing a game of tetris (ooh crap, gotta charge the DS, the light went red at redwood city last night... ok plugged in) and although reaching 1000 lines in a single game is a noble goal, I don't think anyone else would really care.
It should be interesting. The one concern I have at the moment is that the trains I take are mostly the old style ones, and the seats are so close together that fitting me and my laptop in a useable position is difficult. I have a plan for that, too, if I can find the charger that goes with my palm tungsten, and find the stowaway keyboard cleverly hidden in a box somehwere.

The Sunday write-ins at OVC and Thursday evenings at Coffee Society happen throughout the year, too. Though I'm not participating this year, I'll likely show up for support at some of the write-ins.
Good luck! Just keep writing. You'll make it. Just remember to turn off your internal editor. Editing can be done later.
