I've written several novels. Currently working on one called Bright City Gone Mad about a deep cover covert operative who accidentally stumbles on evidence about the events behind 9/11. It's set in 2011, and hopefully will also be complete and published by then as well.
I've done NANOWRIMO a couple of times. The key is to write everyday. If you get behind, you can rarely catch up. For inspiration and moral support, join some of the groups of others that are writing. Some groups even have meetups to read their WIPs. Nanowrimo is a real challenge, but the one that kicks my butt every year is the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. I've never finished it. The best writing advice I can give anyone is to read Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg and On Writing by Stephen King. If those doesn't kick start your writing, you're never gonna be an author. Good luck, and please share your experience with us.
