It's Saturday, October 27th. Only 5 days left!  Today I managed to catch the tail end of my region's "Kick Off Meet Up" hosted by our ML at the library in Burlington. There were a little over a half dozen people there when I arrived, but there had been a few more, the tables were littered with index cards with all sorts of character notes and plot stuff. I missed all of it, but I got to meet a few people who will be writing in my area, and hopefully we'll get to hang out a little bit over the course of the month. PS: I got some extra nano stickers, I'll mail you one if you PM me your address! |

two days! two days! is anyone else excited? or scared? or trembling in abject terror?? (or is it just me?? boy am i nervous!)
we were at walmart the other day, and I happened to walk by the stationary section...BAD idea. the pens and pencils are bad enough, but NO, i had to walk right by the section with scribblers (notebooks). And I bought one. just for NaNoWriMo! i'm so excited, and it's super hard to NOT write in it yet!
anyone else have something specific that they bought just for NaNoWriMo?

So far I've resisted buying anything. I downloaded something that I may well buy after the trial is over.
I was thinking about asking a published friend what tools he uses, but now it's so close! Ahhhhh!

Only an hour and a half to go, still no novel created... the muse is throwing ideas at me fast and furiously, but I'm having trouble giving one the thumbs up. I AM putting some aside for future use. (In fact, I'm putting them in my blog so I can't misplace them.)

Thanks! 1:AM wordcount: 627
Not bad for having only the word 'Citrus' written almost an hour ago.
I still have no idea what I'm writing, and my MC's name is Aa so that later when I know what it is I can have spellcheck do a find and replace action to fill it in.
So far there's some sort of lost time issue. She has no idea how many days it has been since she was last conscious and boy is she hungry. She is not surprised by this, but is keen to know how long she's been 'out'.
She lives in a tiny apartment somewhere... er, yeah. We'll see what happens I guess.

I'm going to bed, taking the wee ones trick or treating was harder on my body than I thought. I've made an ok start, I'll write more this afternoon. Sorry I won't be around for your midnight Freedom, but have a great time! Word count: 857
