Welcome to UAE NaNoWriMo
Welcome to everyone in the UAE, or formerly in the UAE, or other associates who are planning to tackle NaNoWriMo 2006, or National Novel Writing Month.The aim is to write a 50,000-word novel from scratch in the thirty days of November. You can have come up with the synopsis etc beforehand, but you can't enter any previously-written prose. These are the rules if you want to be in line for an official NaNoWriMo certificate.
We are also encouraging people to enter in an "honorary" sense. This includes people that are already half-way through writing a novel, or that can't commit to 50,000 words but would like to write a shorter novella.
If you would like a member invitation here, please comment below.

thanks SD for setting this up ... I'm still on the fence but will definitely offer support! mainly undecided because I can't think of a plot outline that doesn't seem horrendously naff!

Not sure I dare to post any of mine. Also I'm an "honorary" entrant, because I'm already 10k into my turgid lame piece of shite set in the sandlands.
One chapter starts:
While the fat sheikh hammered into her in the Arabian way (an extra hundred dollars), Rasha's mind was a thousand miles away. She uttered regular automatic small moans and cries of "habibi" "so big!" while she planned her social calendar for the coming weekend
