p.s. Oh, group Mods: would you consider switching this group to a general nanowrimo group, instead of just for 2010? Is that even possible?

Oh, and you can choose when to do it - any month. They're just launching it this summer. I'm a Founding Donor. *proud look*
I did nanowrimo back in 09... but I'm looking forward to the idea of actually having time to write during the week, as I'm only working this summer, not being a college student. (last time I wrote something like 70% in the last 5 days, if I remember correctly.) And besides, I have this book just cooking somewhere between my frontal lobe and my limbic system. ( ;
Anybody: pros/cons of posting nanowrimo novels piecemeal on protagonize?
-Foggie
I'm probably going to go for September :) I'm pretty busy August and although September's the first month of school, we don't have a huge amount of work and there aren't any exams, plus it gives me time to recover before NaNo! But I expect I'll cave and do July as well :)
Anyone have thoughts on the pros/cons of posting them on Protag? I've not tried it, see, but I'm considering...
-Fogster
I posted my NaNo novel on Protag as I went last year and I quite liked it because it meant that I could actually see how much I was writing. I usually write 1,000 word chapters so I knew that 10 chapters was 10,000 words - I found it quite satisfying. I don't think I'll be able to do that this summer as I'm away for a bit in each month but if I am near a computer I'll probably post my chapters.
Feedback, comments, typos pointed out, means you don't disappear completely from Protag while writing it, people know what you're talking about when you talk about it, blah blah blah....
CONS
Might be unpolished, if any good you might want to publish it so copyright issues, people get fed up of it, clogs activity streams!, etc.......

I'm interested.
Please point me in the right direction for info etc.
@Sly: Oi! Well, I'm prolly not the best to explain, but basically Nanowrimo is a novel-in-a-month, speciffically the month of November. But the folks who run nanorwrimo, (over at nanowrimo.com) are starting a summer sort of version. I don't really know much about the details, really.
I'm currently thinking of starting mine in July, and trying to reach the word count by the end of the month, but then probably finishing whatever I've started in August. I'll be posting on Protag, I think.
