On prewriting--I've stalled since the 16th. If I work on it any more, I'll only be rearranging plotlines, not unlike someone rearranging kitchen tiles. Last night, I was toying with the idea of just scraping everything to write a fantasy on the high seas. With lots of pirates, of course. At the moment, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I have a plan, but I'm not feeling really excited about it. Maybe I should just nuke it and start out with a fresh plan.

More visibility? Well, at least another Nano-er and I tried this afternoon. We put up some flyers around campus and we saw at least one person voluntarily looking at one. Maybe more people will join up, but since I'm now an old veteran hack I feel I have the flexibility to be cynical.
And is it only now the people on Blogger have noticed Nanowrimo? Let me tell you--the first year I did Nanowrimo, I started a blog. So there, what people are proposing now isn't that original.
Today, the fellow Nano-er who was helping me with the flyers predicted that Nanowrimo was going to get bigger this year as well as subsequent years. In my mind, there is only a limited number of writers in the population. Sooner or later, the numbers are going to max out. But this year, well, with the additional publicity Blogger is pulling there might be a record turn out.
Some links: Blogging Your Novel (Part One) - An article about putting your Nano novel progress on a blog by Biz Stone. Na-No-Blog-Mo. The blog which lists people who are blogging their Nanowrimo novels. I was thinking that I should submit it in November when I actually have part of the novel and a novel title.
