Thanks for this board, I'm so glad it's here! I am trying to get involved in my local nano board and go to write-ins but I'm still a little introverted for that

I gotta tell you, it makes me so happy when I see NaNoWriMo things elsewhere on the Internet! This will be my 11th year!

It's my 8th and by now I rarely meet people who have been doing NaNo longer than me.  It's always exciting to see another long-time WriMo.

This is my 8th year competing as well

I'm 4k words in and so excited this thread popped back up! Good luck, WriMos!

ETA: This is my 7th year, I have 3 wins and 3 losses, hoping to tip the scales back onto the winning side of things!

It's very rare for me to find people who've been doing it longer than me too (obvious reasons).  So every time I say I've been doing it as long as I have...I kind of feel old lol
