Canada :: Ontario :: Brantford-Norfolk

Aaaand... that's a wrap, people!!!

You survived NaNo 2011!!! We ended with an incredible regional word count, an amazing number of participants past the finish line, and many, many novels & projects started this month...

So, why not celebrate your accomplishment by coming out to the TGIO party this Saturday?

Looks like we'll be having an unofficial afternoon event and an official dinner event. Come to one, or come to both... RSVP in the thread below!!!

Final details to follow :D

It's the final countdoooooown!!!!

KEEP WRITING!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Also... check your time zone to make sure it's adjusted for daylight savings, so you don't lose an hour at the end of the night... then VALIDATE, VALIDATE, VALIDATE and win!!!

WINNING!!!

No, it's not Charlie Sheen. It's YOU, finishing your 50k and validating your novel... and WINNING.

Not sure how to do it? Post coming soon!

Also, place your VOTE for our Wrimosaur's name... and chime in on the TGIO Party! DO EET NOW.

KTHXBAI

This is it, people.

We're in the HOME STRETCH.

You've made it this far... what's another week of pounding those keyboards?

YOU CAN DO IT.

...and remember, there are tiny dinosaur plushies waiting for those who win (& are at the TGIO to claim them)!!!

PS: Final days to submit your name ideas for Wrimosaur!!! VOTING COMMENCES AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

Guess what? Guess WHAT? GUESS WHAT???

We're HALFWAY THROUGH THE MONTH.

Welcome to week three and the halfway point. Take a moment to stop, breathe, and look at what you've done so far. Isn't that awesome? You deserve some chocolate. And a cookie. And possibly several rounds of "hip-hip-HUZZAH!".

So today, be sure to give yourself a pat on the back to congratulate yourself for making it halfway through the month. Whether you have 3k, 30k, or 300k right now, YOU ARE AWESOME.

And if you want to catch up? Come on out to tonight's write-in. Details in the calendar below. Let's word war it up and give those word counts a boost!

Welcome to WEEK TWO...

...and so it begins. Feeling behind? Right where you want to be? Surging ahead? Join us for round two of write-ins, starting TONIGHT (Nov. 8th) at the Blue Dog, 7pm.

Keep going! You have plenty of month left, so tell that inner editor to take a hike and let those words pour out!!!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF NANO!!!!

Don't forget, we have our first write-in tonight... if you've already hit the word count for the day, come out and give yourself a nice buffer of words! If you're still plugging away at that first 1667, come on out and let us encourage you!

7pm @ the Blue Dog... see you there!

Thanks for an awesome Kick-Off event, everyone!!!
