The good folks over at NaNoWriMo have built up a community to help you along the way with more forums than you can possibly visit in 5 years of NaNoWriMo.

Make sure you add me as your “buddy.” Search for alexismroark under “authors.”

You’ll find me on Twitter, most weekends of NaNoWriMo and Camp NaNoWriMo (more on THAT later), over at NaNoWordSprints. I’ll challenge you, cheer you on, and help you reach whatever goal you set!
