[ OT ] SatChat : Will you be participating in NaNoWriMo this year ?

I'm a lady living in Asia! I guess I've been writing since grade school, but I could n't tell you when I first started *writing*. I do n't have much motivation, though, which sure is a problem when it comes to finishing long works! I've had north of five thousands words for a novel ( or at least a novella ) that I've been kicking around for nearly three years now, so I might try to grow that for NaNoWriMo. I understand that's not quite how it's supposed to work ( I ca n't count the 5,000~ words I've already done ), but I'd just use the structure of the event to keep me on track without fully participating. 
 
 Now, while my writing skills may be a little rough around the edges, my typing skills are out of this world! The stone age versus the space age, my friends. I average around 115 words per minute when simply transcribing. I'm slower when typing my own thoughts, of course. 
 
 I use a variety of programs to write: Pages, Google Docs, Microsoft Word. Whatever is available on the computer I'm using, really! I'm trying to stick with Pages though, since the footnote system is more to my liking than Google Docs' is. By the way - footnotes in fiction, yay or nay? I'm still toying with the idea. It does n't jive as well with the original 5000~ words, but it worked great for a thousand words that I wrote a few days ago. 
 
 Anyway, that's my spiel! Let's just see what happens, come November.
