Yes - you see it - we have a Weekend of Writing Dangerously Write In planned! So don't worry ... even if you fall 10k behind or need to write ahead for the holidays... we are already thinking of you! Its on the calendar so pay attention for details!

NaNoWriMo 2011 begins in just over 36 hours and things are going to get going pretty quickly once 11/01/11 12:00:01 hits... so get ready, the time is near. Which means your faithful MLs are scrambling to monitor messages, answer emails and consider their own very-very-late outline plots. PLEASE SEND US A PRIVATE MESSAGE IF YOU WANT A WRITE IN TO GO ON THE CALENDAR!!?? PLEASE!!?? Otherwise have fun in the forums, on Facebook, at the Kick Off Parties and additional Write Ins.

In the words of Christ Baty:
"We can all do amazing, impossible things when given a deadline, a supportive community and unlimited access to chocolate and caffeine."

We includes YOU!!
Writing Happens,
Courtney
