Yup, I think a lot of us are. I am. I'm actually in the middle of writing several.

Are you going to publish them? What's your full name?

Some people are doing this thing called Nanowrimo. People set a word count goal in November, and try to write that many words in a novel in one month (November). I might do it next year.

Yeah. I've finished one, but it needs revising, and the other three are somewhere in the beginning.

I'm starting to write a book called Viscosity. I guess that counts.

Yea, I'm writing books. Nanaowrimo is NAtional NOvel WRIiting MOnth which is November. You set a goal for how many words you will write of a novel in November only and if you reach your goal....... Great! I reached my goal of 10,000, but some people's goals are 50,000 or something like that. Nanowrimo has 2 websites, one 4 kids and one 4 adults. Words only count if you wrote them in November. However, you are allowed to be writing a book before November, and continue writing in November, so long as you only count the words that you wrote in November.

@ Quicksilver: I do hope to eventually publish them, though only when I feel truly satisfied with them. (Which probably won't be for a long time, since I'm on my sixth or seventh draft of one of them.) Sorry though, I can't give out my real name. If I ever publish them I'll let you know.

I'm writing a book called Walking the Road of Faith. It's about this girl who becomes Muslim, even though her family hates her for it. It's not for NaNoWriMo, but I do hope to find a good publisher for my book. I'm still owkring on teh first draft.

I'm also starting a book where this girl can transport to a different world through her dreams.
