Lou,
Truthfully, I'm shit scared!!! Suddenly I have all these doubts about whether what I'm thinking might work, if the story will/can come together. If I can even write a long story ( only done short ones, and it's really different!). My great friend Steve_W has been fantastic, a psychologist, mentor, encourager through all of this. But I'm still uncertain and secretly terrified!!! Is this normal???
Maybe I should add, I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to stuff like this. Once I commit to something, I HAVE to do it, otherwise I feel like I've let myself down. Shit, the pressure!!!

You'll do a great job G-G, just relax and let the words form themselves.
Yes it is normal, I was terrified last year but somehow managed. This year I'm 'cheating' by trying to finish a project during Nano and I'm still a long way from where I want to be when Nano starts. And I'm still terrified.

Sorry I missed this before. Neon said it all... yes, it is perfectly normal, you'll do great and have a blast! It is an amazingly rewarding experience, just let the NaNo wave carry you and you'll be fine.
In my book (excuse the pun) pressure is cool.

GG,
Thanks for bigging me up! I've cut and pasted that into my CV, had posters done to send around town, e-mailed it to newspapers and magazines, etc.
You'll be fine. Anyone with a talent for short stories can write longer pieces, it's just a slightly different perspective. As Lou says, I'm sure the support and momentum of NaNo will be a big help. A bit like running the London Marathon, with all the fun, excitement and support of the occasion, rather than running around a track on your own 105 times.

Steve W,
Thanks for that little London Marathon analogy ( or in our case, the Comrades Marathon). What you don't know is that added to Psychologist, Mentor, Encourager, I'll now be expecting you to be water carrier, mouth to mouth resuscitator, masseuse and did I mention psychologist, encourager...
Thanks for your support and getting me this far! You're the best friend a wannabe writer can have!

Aren't people like Steve great? I know someone similar, who has also done wonders for me and my writing. He's also the guy that introduced NaNo to me last year. It's all his fault.

A one-digit number!!!! 
My company's having a party the 2nd of November. My first office party! My goal is to get drunk for the second time in my life, and end up under the table with my cute boss.
