Istanbul, European side
Hello, this is my fifth NaNo. I will be writing my fifth novel is a series. This will be the last in the series but not the last NaNo.
I am American, from the Pacific Northwest. I've been in Istanbul 25 years. If anyone would like to meet up, say at the Bebek Starbuck's, that would be great. PM me.
Re: Istanbul, European side
Hi there! This is my first and i am a tiny bit(!) intimidated. But i'll jump in and see how it goes!
Thanks for opening this thread.
Re: Istanbul, European side
Hi all!
I'll also be giving it a go for the first time, even though 50k does seem very, very far away at this point.
Re: Istanbul, European side
Hello everybody.. Last year I couldn't attend but this year I would like to. Deadline is quite tight.
Anyone knows how I need to enroll to nano writing officially?
Thx...
Re: Istanbul, European side
I think you're asking about creating your novel? In "mynanowrimo" you can click "edit novel info" and create your novel there.
I still haven't since i'm still not very sure about what i'm going to write. And i'm beginning to get scared ..

Re: Istanbul, European side
Hi Everyone, its my first time too - first time at nanowrimo and first time trying to write a novel. Its a bit daunting, but also exciting. Am going to try and stay on target each day. I could meet in Bebek. I'm in Ortakoy.
Today is the first day. Good luck everyone!!
Re: Istanbul, European side
Oh god this feels very awkward.
Well, hi. This is my first NaNoWriMo attendance. I'm actually a kid trying to be a writer. I agree uglur, 50K looks very far away for me.
Okay, good luck.
Re: Istanbul, European side
Just keep your head down and focus on the daily 166y words. Try to write more if you can so you build up a reserve in case some obligations pop up (like Kurban bayram!)
Keep in mind that you are writng the roughest of rough drafts and that you are writing a novel, but no one said it had to be a GOOD novel :) Anyway you won't know until you get it all out on the screen, so go for it!
Re: Istanbul, European side
Ok here we go everyone hold tight!!
Re: Istanbul, European side
*panicking* no novel, no idea! already 1667 words behind ..! (good thing we'll have a holiday newt week)
Re: Istanbul, European side
Hey, no new posts here?
Are we all busy typing typing typing the daily 1667 or slacking?
Me; slacking :-/
Re: Istanbul, European side
I have abandoned ship entirely. But for a reason I think is acceptable: a publishing house has said it wants to publish my series of books, here in Istanbul. So I am working with the editor and tightening up bits and pieces.
Incidentally, these books each started out life as NaNoWriMo winning efforts-- so keep at it!
Re: Istanbul, European side
Congrats from Izmir! Do let us know the name of the first book, once that's finalized, so that you can have your first readers from NaNo as well :)
Re: Istanbul, European side
Congratulations! That is wonderful :)
I believe you can be considered a NaNoWinner!
Re: Istanbul, European side
Great news...I hope one day we can share the same news with all our nano friends here.
Well , unfortunately I can't keep up with my novel and I wonder if I will ever finish it.. But at least I tried :(
Next year better....I hope !
Good luck to everyone...
Re: Istanbul, European side
EmsaidSo, congratulations!!! Such good news!!
Its been tough keeping up with word count. i've lagged 2 to 3 days behind most of the time and this week i had to travel for work, so I was 6 days behind. Brutal! But I'm back. I just logged 45,000. my fingers are numbed, but I'm on the home stretch now. I'm working tomorrow, but am praying that I can still do my daily word count tomorrow night. In the end, I didn't have time to keep up to date with teh daily news and encouragement, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on which forums they found most useful.
