Hello Luxembourg NaNos!

You don't need me to tell you that there remain a tick more than 48 hours!

Go for it!

Don't forget to upload your novel in time to earn your purple word count bar. If you encounter any problem doing this,open up a new thread on the forum. Someone in our lounge will come to your aid.
Don't wait until the last minute to upload your novel. IT can be a tricky monster.

All the Best,
Yvonne

CALLING ALL WRITE-IN ATTENDEES FOR OUR FINAL 2011 WRITE-IN ON SATURDAY, 26 NOVEMBER:

Please do not forget to select a 2 minute passage to share aloud at the write-in. No one will be forced to read aloud against their will. :)
However, who want's to be a party-pooper?!

Could you all help me by brain-storming for an appropriate THANK YOU for Corinne and her lovely Exki baristas? They have been so nurturing to our creativity and our stomachs.

Still 5 days and 2H & 28 minutes left to write the NaNo 2011.
I am rooting my heart out for you all!!

So looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. Come with bells on!
Yvonne

Good Morning Luxembourg WriMos!

It is now Sunday, 30 October 2011 10.00 am.

According to my calculations, we are now in true countdown mode.
If I am not mistaken, the first word of the first sentence of the first paragraph can be officially written in 38 hours and one minute.

Hoping that you are all as elated as I am to get started,
I remain, yours truely,
Yvonne

Dear Luxembourg WriMos!

Are you ready??!! Just 3 more days and we may then rocket out of this waiting mode and begin writing!! THE moment we have all been anticipating!
Keep an eye on our forum for new posts!

Our member counter has turned over to 97 ! That means one more writer has joined our little group!

Have a great Friday and we'll be meeting up very soon!
All the Best,
Yvonne

Hi Everyone!!

Are you all getting hyped up considering that IT ALL starts in just 4 days!!??? Despite it being a public holiday on Nov1st, I have been asked to go into the office as it is not a holiday for the EURO.
No problem, I'll simply incorporate the experience into my novel!

Hi Everyone!

I hope to get a thread up containing possible dates for the Kick Off and Write-Ins.

Looking forward for our little group to meet up!

One important thing I forgot to mention: I believe that our group is composed of polyglotts. I know for a fact that we have English, French, Luxembourgish and German speakers. So, if anyone, feels uncomfortable with English, don't let that stop you from joining in on the threads, ok?
I myself feel comfortable in all 4 and I doubt that I am the only one.

Have fun browsing our new Nano Site!
All the Best,
Yvonne

Hello Luxembourg WriMos!

I 'll get the introductions thread rolling....

For those who don't know already, my name is Yvonne. I love writing and thank my lucky stars that we have NaNoWriMo.
I have been writing for most of my life and cannot imagine not engaging in such a noble and absolutely wonderful craft.
As soon as I saw the Municipal Liaison vacancy, the very thought spoke volumes to me. So, here I am. I hope to serve you all well.

I am a writer with a day job, two teenagers, and a husband so my ML-ing will be straight forward, simple, but consistent and heartfelt. The rest of my details can be found under my profile. Perhaps we have some things in common.:)

With a charged battery for 30 days of unbridled fun,
All the Best,
Yvonne, your ML
