Anybody? Anybody?

I've stalking the forums for hours and have yet to see any post here, which makes me sad.

Therefore! Hello Buffalo! Is anybody home? I know I'm not the only Nanoer in Buffalo! Helloooo?

I'm home! In Williamsville. Though... last year I promised myself I wasnt going to do NaNo again this year.


Apparently, I can't be trusted. X|

I'm here too. I swore last year that this year I would win. Let's hope I can be trusted.

Greetings from Lancaster! :)

I always tell myself I'm going to be a good girl and write my quota every day and finish without losing my mind.



.... it's never true.

Yay Buffalo people! Hello all!

*waves* Howdy.

hola! *high five* happy nanowrimo buffalonians

*waves back at Twiki*
*high fives SWrite*

I don't feel so lonely anymore!

Wow, snazzy new site! love the new color scheme. fitting :-) so when do we start hanging and writing?!

I'm all posting in the wrong place and stuff.

Man.

OK, anyway, hello!!! I'm not as psycho as I look/sound/smell, I swear.

@hokej
Hello! Isn't the new site epic! Sadly we can't start writing yet :(, but I we can chill here until then!

@n_taber
Hi taber! And don't worry, I'm insane too :)

Hi! *waving*

They'll have the kick-off party sometime before Nov. 1. I think we usually have it on a Sunday, if I'm not mistaken. Our glorious ML's (hi, Oceanid and MylaFantastic!!) will let us know. I can't wait! I'll bring stickers (I always bring stickers) and Markers. It's always so wonderfully awkward at first, and then everyone warms up and gets to know each other, and we realize that we're all freaks and it's OK.

So if you're scared to go, please go anyway. Most of us are scared, even the ones who've done this a lot (like me, I'm terrified of the Kick-Off and the Thank Goodness It's Over Party every year, and every year they're great).

Bonjour, fellow Buffalonian NaNoWriMo-ers! {Although I'm actually typing from Alden, which is a town that generally not a lot of people have heard of, for some reason.}

Just a brief sidenote: any teenage-d NaNoWriMo-ers present? I'm seventeen, and I've participated/won in 2009 and 2010, but I've always felt terribly awkward and shied away from forums because I felt too underage or something...

Oh, just took the time to see jemzgirl161. Hello! :)

Oceanid! You're from Basom? I used to live in the town of Alabama. How odd is that.

Anyway, I was in the Rochester group before but its too far from where I am and I'm not comfortable driving in Rochester. I at least know where Alden, Basom, Lancaster is so although its a hike from Wyoming County, I'm more familiar. I could drive there easy enough plus I grew up in Buffalo. Seems a better fit.

I wouldn't feel too young Sarahirene, there are a lot of teen writers on here.

This is my 1st year doing NaNoWriMo and I'm still not 100% sure I will be able to complete it... it seems like a very time consuming and daunting task!

Any pointers out there from anyone?

Why Hello! I'm from Medina, NY but I'm going to school in Fredonia. This is going to be my second NaNoWriMo and it's going to be a little different for me. Last year, I was fortunate enough to not have a roommate during the month of November (she actually moved out Oct 30th and I didn't get another roommate until Dec 6th). It was nice because I could talk to myself and act like a crazy novelist (i.e. not come out of my room for days and days) without having to worry about freaking someone out. Well, now I have a roommate. I have some strange habits already, but if she didn't think I was crazy before, she will now.

I'm excited about this year. Maybe I'll actually go to some meet-ups.

@writerchaz The only thing I can really say is don't give up. My first year (last year) was terrible but I always found a way to push myself through the blocks. Find someone that you can read the story to or share it with. If they like it, they might push you to keep writing so they can keep reading. Make sure you enjoy your story and have fun. You don't have to do this, but when you do finish, it's one of the best feelings in the world. And it's awesome to tell people "I wrote a 50,000 word novel in a month" and see their faces. Priceless!

Hi everybody! I'm Hugh and this is my 7th (really?) year doing Nano! My advice is come to the write-ins and stay social. We have a wonderful group of writers here in Buffalo, and their support is what helped me to my nano victories.

Here from the Tonawanda's. This is my 4th nanowrimo :)
