World of Warcraft Nanowrimo Procrastinator Guild on Misha (Alliance)

Yep. Still going...

I've been keeping it alive by the skin of my teeth, often being the only one online for months on end. But it's still there. Malveka helped me to get it to level 2, Dragonea to level 3, Graedis (sp?) to level 4. Chek and Graedis are back. I got an in-game mail from Traveller but haven't seen him online. So just three of us right now.

The purpose of the guild is social, to provide a way for WoW players to procrastinate from Nanowrimo for short periods with others who will be willing to support you to get back to your writing. We have even been known to have Word Wars and Writing Challenges! :`)

The guild was originally set up by Teacake (so blame her for it being Alliance! lol) Then the torch was passed to Dragonea. I inherited it from her and now I can't remember how long I've been Guild Leader. But then my horrible memory is epic. I'm sure Teacake or Dragonea, both of whom have younger brains than mine, will be able to tell you.

Anyone away for more than a year has been removed from the guild due to potential hacked accounts, and of course would be welcomed back wholeheartedly at any time. Simply join the nanowrimo chat channel ( /join nanowrimo) and tell us your nano forum name. Or if you can remember anyone's names add them to your friend's list and if we are online whisper one of us to invite you.

The previous note also goes out to anyone who would like to join us for the first time. Make a toon on Misha server, Alliance side, follow the instructions in the previous paragraph. Say hello here also, so that we know it is you asking for membership.

Thanks, all. Best of luck with Nano this year and see you in WoW!

Awww! I remember this guild! I think I quit it because I ended up feeling guilty every time I logged in. >_> (I haven't finished NaNo in years. Bleh.)

Good to see it's still around, at least. lol

Sorry, I'm not going to be able to attend the party tonight... or play for several weeks, probably.

The snowstorm knocked out the internet and power lines (currently posting from another location). Hopefully I'll get power back in time for NaNo.

Have a good party all! :)

Hey, what party? I am still on the server with all my alts, and I've been playing sporadically throughout the year. Moonage is in her 60s now and I also have Bryxie and Styxie and some other alts I can't remember right now. See you soon!

Hello! Another year of NaNo, another year of wondering if little Eury the gnome warlock is going to get any playtime. She had a burst of playtime in late October and a bit a few weeks ago, and she's now actually level 26 instead of still languishing at 12 like she had the previous three years.

Jander, as for the guild history, I was checking creation dates for all my WoW characters a few months ago, and Eury was started on 11/8/2007. I believe that's the year that the guild was first founded by teacake. I also think there are ways in game to check when a guild was founded, but it's been a few years since I was a guild leader so I don't remember them. If you're just going for when you took the reins, what was going on in game when you became the leader? Was Wrath out yet? What about the Argent Tournament? Random Dungeon Finder? Cata? If you want, I can give you a rough guess of when each was.

I've been negligent in my WoW-ing for several months, and horribly neglectful of Rugs, my NaNo Procrastinating dwarf rogue. But I hereby resolve to get on and figure out where the heck she is and what she's up to this week. But not tonight. Or tomorrow (damn social life).

See you on Misha soon.

*grins* I finally made it to level 30! It's only taken me two years...

I finally got my power and internet back~!

Now all I have to do is make up my lagging word count. :/

I just want to say something I think is important.

Week two is coming up fast! Remember that week two is all about getting through. One word in front of another, slog it out until you are out of the doldrums and sailing into the brisk fresh air of your novelling again!

And remember this: You are all winners now! Every word you've written so far is a win! Cause it's words that you had teh courage and passion to write! Love ya all!

So, has anyone got an excerpt up yet? You guys know how I love to read them...and if you don't, YOU DO NOW.

I wrote so few words yesterday that I didn't bother to update my wordcount. But taking a day off helped. My goal for today is a 5k sprint. Join me if you want. I challenge you! ;`)

Also, my excerpts from my nanowrimo novel MENTOR, with illustrations are here (scroll down to the 2011 Day 01 and read up): http://www.30characters.com/author/j-s-rowe/ Leave a comment there and let me know what you think. Thanks!

So, I made a gnome... hehe, her name is Tortugarae and she's on Misha to join the guild.

What's the actual guild name/tag so I can check to see when any of you are on while I am and get an invite?

Thanks

Sorry. I guess it wasn't clear in the title of this post. The name of the guild is "Nanowrimo Procrastinator". It gives you a huge label under your name so that everyone on the server can shame you to go back to writing. :`)

But seriously that is the name. Been too busy to get online myself lately. will try to check in later tonight. circa midnight est maybe. I have lots of writing to do before we leave for North Carolina on Saturday.

I'm feeling a little daunted by the challenges I set myself today. 5k for nano and three character pieces for the 30characters.com challenge. Which hopefully will get me back on track for finishing nano by the time we leave for vacation in N. Carolina on the 19th of November.

So if anyone wants to join me in my 5k today challenge you are most welcome!

Everyone is doing a great job of getting those words written! Sprint!

I have a lot of catching up to do today to hit my personal goals, but I made myself a character, finally got WoW all fixed up to run last night, and will be showing up to bother you guys soon!

I haven't written a word today. Partly it is because my life is hectic (oh, hey! we are moving out of the city AND our bathroom is being renovated AND our car got side-swiped this weekend AND I'm sick with my 2nd cold in 2 weeks!). But partly because I am stuck on a pretty major plot point.

So, my fellow guildies, please help me out: which one gets murdered, her husband or her lover?

Husband! >.> Much drama there.

I didn't make my 5k quota yesterday and I'm having trouble getting started today again. Throws tantrum::Waaagh! Idowannadoitanymore!!! waaaagh!:: Ah, that feels better! And so back to work. If I don't write 5k today you won't see me online tonight. I hate not making my promises. Wish me luck. (and you're welcome to join me)

I wrote all day and as you can see I made my 5K goal and then just kept on writing. I was on a roll!

Okay - I must be on the wrong server - because I cannot find any guild with nanowrimo in its name!!!
I'm sad
