megwritesSince NaNo is soon approaching, I thought I'd share some helpful links that might be of some use to those out there who are about to take on the challenge.

nano_icons is a fun community with LJ icons for NaNoWriMo for you to use. I got mine from there, and they range from pretty to very funny.
Speaking of the LJ-NaNo connection, LiveJournal.com is actually doing it right (for once). This year for NaNoWriMo, they're giving half of the proceeds of "encouragement" V-gifts to NaNoWriMo, as well as $1 for every LJ'er who wins. So go comment with your NaNo username to be counted in. And five random winners get a year's free paid account. Nifty, no?
For wordcounting, I recommend the Zokutou Wordmeter, which is that little colored bar you see everywhere. You can go by chapters or words, and it gives you a percentage of your total.
Also, you can find the tips and tricks for NaNoWriMo success that I posted last year. If any else has their own methods for winning NaNoWriMo, please, share with the class!
Oh, and a spreadsheet that's helpful for keeping track of your progress. I created it, so feel free to take, share, modify, go to warp factor nine, whatever it is you do with spreadsheets. If you have the 2007 version, you'll need to change the days of the week, because this year the 1st is on a Saturday, not a Thursday like last year.
