I can't post on the nano forum. Anyone willing to pm me and walk me through it?

What? I hear you cry! Ok, so it's not a long novel, but 50,000 words is a great target. By writing just under 2,000 words a day, you CAN write a novel in a month.
November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). For the two previous years I have done this, and produced some of the best stuff I've ever written (in my opinion), and a crowd here at the AH has joined me in both years.
It really is a sure-fire way to get you on the road to writing a novel. Some finish, others don't. Some blow the rest of us out of the water (Colly?), but others take a more steady-paced approach.
It is NOT a competition, but merely a personal challenge, and one which I find very personally rewarding.
To find out more, go HERE
Interested? If so, let me know. I'm not sure if I can organise things here as I did the past two years (tables of progress, etc, etc), but time permitting, I will try.
The most important thing is to write, and enjoy writing!
Lou
So how do I get started doing this?

go to www.nanowrimo.org, and sign up. It's really simple - you just choose a "handle" like you have here, a couple of quick questions on the profile, and that's it. I think most of us use the same name that we use here, with a couple of exceptions.
There's a forum for help of whatever kind you might need during the month, and this year, the moderators have designated "experts" in the Character & Plot Realism section on just about anything you can think of (I'm the designated native american expert
).You may be able to go ahead and register today, but the forums have been down all morning.

I just did it, God help me. I've written novels before but never in just a month, this could be quite interesting. And thanks so much for your help.

Then write it down and tape it to the pc screen and just smile at it all day long

"He backs me into the desk and leans into me, the thrust of his hips forcing my bottom onto the desk, his open-mouth kiss is hot and frantic; I'm lost, floating in the bliss of arousal, content to lap the taste of chocolate from his mouth and stroke his nubby tongue with my own."cloudy said:
Oh! Wait! That's not a Nano!
Here's a Nanomebbe:
"Summer homes seem to wait expectantly for families to fill them; if they sit too long without identity, then they become lost places, readily inhabited by passing ghosts."
Luck to us all!

And I'll do the counting, thank you very much! *grumpy*
