Technically its both Reading and Wokingham lol. Postal address is Reading. MP is Reading. But as far as council tax, schools etc are concerned we're Wokingham.
I did Nano the last two years, although last year was something of a washout with me going away part way through for over a week. Kinda didn't help - don't know why lol.
The first year I did succeed though. Unforutnately I can't seem to get hold of the password I asked for when I forgot my old one on my orginal account, so hence the new account, which sucks rather, I didn't want to lose my history :(.
I'm really busy at work at the moment, but am determined to give it a real go this time so roll on November.
Hi there I'm from Reading as well! Wow I didn't realise that there would be people in my own area. Do any of you belong to Reading Writers? RNA Reading Chapter?
I live right on the border between Oxfordshire and Berkshire, just into Oxfordshire. Pretty equidistant between Oxford and Reading. I've joined the Oxfordshire section because I'd rather not stay in "Elsewhere" and I was born in Oxford, but I'd love to meet people in Reading as well since that's where I went to school and now where I work! :)

Samuel Goldwyn once said “We want a story that starts out with an earthquake and works its way up to a climax". This is the book of the film. The film will be made later. If you're from Hollywood and want to make the film, give me a call.
P.S. I resisted the temptation to call it “From Here To Maternity“

Wow, Reading is popular. I come from there! I have a quick question for...anyone, I suppose. If I know the username of someone I want to be buddies with, how do I find their profile and add them as a buddy?

At the moment, the Author search is down, while Russ works on improving the site speed. It's normally one of the tabs on the grey bar, after Home and About. You would search for user name, then click their name, and click the "add to buddies" list. Note though that only about 11-12 show in the "My Buddies" page of your profile.
Until Author search comes back, you'll have to wait til you see a post of theirs, and click their name to see their profile.

I've been failing at NaNoWriMo in various parts of Berkshire for the past few years (though I did win the first year I tried...) I failed in Sandhurst, I failed in Reading - this year I'm trying in Blackwater, and thoroughly intend to win.
I attempted last year but failed due to moving jobs mid month, but this year will be my year... even though i am off to Italy for the last two weeks on a work trip...
Hi everyone - I'm just outside of Reading too. I signed up last year, but never really got started. Hoping to give it a go this time...I know I probably haven't got a hope in hell of meeting the daily quota, but maybe if I do extra on the days I can write, I'll make it :)
How confident is everyone else??
Evenin' all.
Like Helzebel, I live on the Berkshire/Oxfordshire borders, but on the Berkshire side. Second NaNo, hopefully second victory. I started last year, pretty much on a whim. Good to see so many of you here!

Sorry if this appears twice - I sent a reply a few hours ago but it hasn't appeared yet,,,
I'm in Sandhurst, in Berkshire despite a Guildford (Surrey) postcode(!) within a mile or so of the Hampshire and Surrey borders.
It's my first time trying NaNoWriMo - I've contemplated it for the last few years. but suddenly this time I signed up...
Good luck to everyone!
