1A - Sign up for NaNoWriMo here. Put your P2PU username and your Nano user name in this spreadsheet, and track the tasks you complete by day.

To earn a badge, choose any 25 tasks from the lists here (to be posted Sept. 30) or create your own tasks. Complete one per day between October 1 and 30. You get five days of your choice "off," and October 31 is a day off for everyone. Record which tasks you completed on this spreadsheet.

These tasks should all be PRE-WRITING, not actual parts of your novel. (You can't start writing that until November 1.)

Remember you don't have to post any of your writing or ideas here if you don't want. If you do want to, just post a link as a comment in the relevant task thread.
