The countdown is ON! (counting hours, days and words...) http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/europe-luxembourg/threads/15914 Lylie Hi ho! Yvonne being at work, I thought I could entertain you a little, so that the wait doesn't seem to be too long! :) So, this thread is ALL about counting as it stated! * HOURS => until the kick down at 00.01 (don't forget to set your alarm-clock and join us on gmail tonight!!) * WORDS => starting tonight, let's support each other by having fun over our wordcount! Please share some good numbers and why not... some good words in this thread! :) * DAYS => of course, Nano means... 30 days! So you might hear a few screaming as the deadline approaches! This thread is for that too... counting the days and getting stressed! ^^ And on that note... HAPPY COUNTING!!! (and Happy Halloween too!)

Great idea. Each of us should post a new word for the betterment of our vocabulary. The must not necessarily be in English. My word for the day is : augean, adj meaning extremely difficult, unpleasant, or filthy. If one word is offered per day then we'll have 30 new spiffy words in whatever vocabulary.

I've been quiet lately, but I'm here! It sounds like Saturday's write-in was a blast - I hope I'll be able to make one before the month ends (maybe the last one?

"no, i'm not a vampire. yes, i have very white skin that shines in the sun, and yes, if i look into the sunlight it makes my eyes hurt like crazy. but that's because i'm a wrimo." so guess what she said. "so i guess wrimos are the same thing as vampires?" yeees, my social life has been suffering for some time. i will write until midnight today, hoping that i can finish this before november 25th. there is no was that the NOVEL will be done by then, i am only just about to finish day two. but at least i will have won. kind of. but finishing day one was very motivating. more motivating than any major wordcount-passing, anyway. i will ask you all to disable the caring mother inside yourself, yes, yvonne, even you, and just let me do my stuff and i promise i will peacefully let you do your stuff. and now, i will leave you and eat my pizza that just arrived. i love ordering pizzas, but i never get to do it because my mom doesn't like it. gotta celebrate her absence by doing all kinds of stuff i shouldn't actually be doing. here's to ALL OF US winning this thing. no matter if we win by actually writing 50k, but we win in our heads, and most importantly in our hearts. and yvonne, i almost forgot to write this. you are a most lovely person and i like you and i think your children are very lucky children to have you as their mother, and your brownies are awesome. <3 bye!

[/quote] To All of My Beautiful Fellow Wri-Mos, I thought that I would quote with Ada's post. When we started fanning a future Nobel Prize in Ada's direction, I think that we were all intrigued by having such a young person join us DESPITE going to school full time. Personally, I am floored by what this 14 year old has accomplished so far with us, writing her heart out and being basically a blithe spirit. An actress, how lovely. And I can see you doing just that. And by participating in this Non-Writing-Contest, even if you do not make the 50k, you have earned a lot of kudos and my respect. Let us all stand in ovation and applaud, Ada. (whose avatar reminds me of the image of Sarah Bernhardt I loved to look at in coffee table art books when I was probably her age) This might sound a bit emotional to you. Well it should, because of the sweet words you have dedicated to me in this particular thread this evening. I can't begin to express to all of you, Cecile, Suzanne, Steph, Rosemary. Ada, for the support,enthusiasm, laughs, skill, dedication, continual good cheer and noble constancy you brought to our Write-Ins. A big hug for you all from the bottom of my moved heart. To Kosti : You see 25k was a drop in the bucket. Hope you will be able to make it to our final write-in this coming Saturday. For Mina: I know how important support in writing is, so I hope with all my might (and I am not alone in this ;) That you will be able to attend the last write-in for 2011. For Olivia, Munich-O: You're going to love Luxembourg. Glad that you participated from your Bavarian roost. Please know that without you, every last one of YOU, there would not have been anything but words. xoxo, With crocodile tears puddling, thank you for having given me the best month ever!
