Re: NaNoWriMo (writing a novel from November 1-30)

I "won" NaNoWriMo twice, but the second time I didn't really win because I didn't realize that I had to upload my data before midnight. I finished writing after 11 on the last day, went to bed, tried to update the next morning - and was rejected. It still stings.
I was already thinking about doing a modified Spanish NaNo, and this thread has me convinced. I'm going to aim for a full NaNo, but if I get to 25000 words, I'll be satisfied. I won't have access to a computer in the evening, so I'll be hand-writing in a notebook - we'll see how it goes!
I haven't planned out my story yet, but it will be by a native English-speaker doing an immersion class in Guatemala, to explain both the hand-written journal and the inevitable mistakes. And it will be in Spanish, since the author figures anyone who finds it may not be able to read in English.
I'm so looking forward to this!
