This is a thread for all of the NaNo'ers at Agnes Scott (plus Sushi, who will probably wander over here at some point).
NOTE: There will be a meeting on the Monday after Fall Break at 6:30 in lower Winship. (It was going to be during comm. hour, but the 1st years have ASC 101).

I'll wander over so much that I'll be the first to reply. (For those who will be reading this and don't know, I'm an '09 grad. Go yellow!)
When is your fall break, anyway?

Fall Break starts on Thursday (but I'm thinking of skipping my Wednesday classes, so I can go home Tuesday night).

IMPORTANT NOTE!
I'm changing the meeting to TUESDAY AT 6:30, just so that more people have a chance to hear about it, because of it being right after break.
It'll still be in lower Winship.

Hey, y'all!
Just a quick reminder of the meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) in Lower Winship at 6:30 PM. There will be someone there to let in non-Winship residents.
There should be an e-mail about it sent out soon.

Anyway, here I am. You'll find me traipsing about the fantasy boards, I'm sure. Feel free to add me as a writing buddy!! :D

Hey, y'all!
I hope everyone's getting excited about NaNo.
I was thinking about having a Daylight's Savings Write-In in upper Alston. We had one last year, which was fun.
Also, we had discussed starting a Facebook group, so I did: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=170109465002#/group.php?gid=170109...

I would totally come to a DST write-in if I had a couch to sleep on afterward. Oh the joys of not living on campus anymore and being carfree.

Okay, here are the options for the DST write-in, which will be on Sunday November 1st in 2nd floor Alston (the room above the computer lab).
As we all know, the DST transition will occur on the first day of NaNo. I know some people prefer to kick-off in the privacy of their own rooms, because none of us want to see that *one* person who just powers right through the starting gate.
However, I know there are others who won't want to get started in one place and then transition to somewhere else an hour later.
I, for one, would prefer to start in my own room, but I have a roommate, so I'll be in Alston at about 11:45 to get ready for the kick-off. However, if you want to start elsewhere, and join us to watch the clocks fall back, that's totally fine, as well.
Does that work for everyone?

Hey, y'all!
I'm trying to get an e-mail list that I can use to keep everyone up to date on NaNo events on campus.
Please PM me or e-mail me (tdeushane), so I can compile everyone's info.
See you on Sunday/Saturday!

REMINDER!
Daylight's Savings Write-In THIS SUNDAY at 12:00 AM to the second 2:00 AM and beyond!
Also, I wrote a NaNoWriMo song on my ukulele. This is totally unrelated, but I thought I'd mention it.

Hey!
Judging by all these word counts, everyone's off to a great start.
Anyway, I just thought of a fun dare: try to include a Scottie dog in your novel, if at all possible. It'll be our own little ASC dare. Comment back here with whatever you do!

Hey, y'all!
Don't forget that the center for writing and speaking is holding a write-in tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6:30 in the Fireplace Lounge (in Alston).
They're calling it a kick-off party, even though we've already got this party started. Let's keep it going!
Happy Writing!

Hey everyone. This is Gabby. I was present at the get-together the other day. So far writing's been pretty bleak, but I'm pretty sure that's because I've made it extremely difficult for myself lol. Anyway, feel free to add me as a writing buddy. See you around!

I just felt like putting a random shout out here... I finally caught up!!! I was behind all weekend and felt like such a bum. I need to do more write-ins but I always feel guilty going to use wi-fi and space when I don't plan to buy anything because I'm poor. Maybe the 50 cent chocolates at Starbucks will be enough of something for me not to feel guilty...?
Anyway, everyone's word counts are going up and I'm sending a mental high five to y'all that will actually happen when I see you irl. Happy writing!
Btw, anyone else renaming a character five or six different times because they had a name but you don't remember it and you have to keep writing? I'm going to have fun editing this one. XD
