So sorry ladies, gents ...

Sandtiger — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:11:30 +0000

I'm sorry I've been ... well, absent this year. Most of you kind of know what's going on with me, and although my spirits are doing a bit better, my creativity is lacking [if the barely-2k word-count isn't proof enough].

I've wanted to come to the meets, but have trouble co-ordinating dates/places. EarthFare is pretty far out for me, especially on a weeknight, from where I'm now living [more than a 45 minute drive], and I've unfortunately had my son on the days the meetings were at BAM. And while I love him dearly, he is a great distraction I haven't wanted to burden anyone with.

I am free to go to BAM this Sunday, if anyone else will be there [Bran will be with his daddy].

[[luvs]] to everyone ~

facebook group

I was just wondering if there is a facebook group for the augustan nanowrimo-ers,
if so, I would like to join it, and if not, well, we should start one. :)

All-Nighter

Sandtiger — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:18:26 +0000

Mou ... I am seriously lagging behind. My fantastic plan of working on my novel furiously the weekend I didn't have Bran totally bombed, because I was constantly traveling back and forth from my where I live now to where I USED to live, in order to pack it up and clean it out. =(

Are we planning on pulling an all-nighter together this year? If so, ideas on where and when?

Where is Your Muse

Stravos — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:07:38 +0000

Over a week of terrible distractions, earth shattering news, reality changing questions and I finally got around to sitting down at the PC and get back my focus. Wait, where is my muse? Where is the inspiration that keeps my fingers dancing with the keys like some goofy geek Fred and Ginger thing? I stare at the keys. I stare at the screen. I get aspirin because I've been staring at the screen. I stare some more. No muse. I've been derailed.

The search took over three days and it wasn't good news. Yes, I found my muse. It had been on a week long binge at the library. I found it lying in a puddle between the autobiographies and research. It was still holding firm to a 64 oz. jug of coffee and a line of pixie dust still coated its nose.

"1667, just 1667," it kept mumbling as I carted it off.

Its in bed now. Not sure how its going to handle the next few weeks. I'm going on autopilot, writing more exposition than dialog. My motivation is exhausted and I can't blame it. My thoughts are on my wife, my family and the possible move to Washington state. It just isn't here.

Wait....my muse just came downstairs, a bit dishoveled and wrapped firmly in a comforter. It doesn't look happy.

"What's that," I ask, trying to hear its muffled whisper.

"Shut up and write," it snaps. "Don't make me go Madea on you."

You know, I hate my muse!

Introductions!

silvergenji — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:55:58 +0000

I know that a lot of us already know each other, but I'm hoping that we get some new people this year as well! So... for the sake of reference...

Hi! I'm Jen. I write primarily in the fantasy genre, either in young adult or really, really adult... I'm trying something in between this year, though! I have three kids (4, 3, and 2) and my husband is stationed at Ft. Gordon. This is my sixth year of NaNoWriMo and I hope for it to be my fifth win. :)

silvergenji — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:15:16 +0000

We are meeting at Earth Fare again tonight, which is at 368 Furys Ferry Road in Martinez.

So instead of BAM, feel free to join us there tonight. I should be online for the rest of the day, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them! Also, I am available to give rides, but I need to try to be home by 8:30 because my husband works tonight.

Sorry for the short notice, I got so caught up in writing that I didn't even realize it was Tuesday already!

Heya Guys

Falkin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:39:39 +0000

This is Kinneko and Deo Ward. We've created a joint account because we recently got slapped in the face by both our muses for a new story. We are co-writing it together, along with our own personal NaNo project.

So, Augusta will get some extra word countage. Oh yeah.

A challenge for you all

silvergenji — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:51:38 +0000

I noticed something right at the end of September. Last year, we, as a region, got something like 987,000 words (yes, I made that particular number up, but the actual was close to that). I think that we can break one million words this year! Who's with me?

Website really slow?

Kinneko — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:30:44 +0000

Or is it just me? I have to refresh my page like 5 times (with nearly 10 minutes loading each time) before the website shows up. Even then, when I'm on my page, I can't click on "Writing Buddies" or "NaNo Stats" because the pages won't load.

Is the server that busy? I'd assume since there's so many people on it... but jeez. @_@ It takes me an hour to update my fricking word count. I have to plan to do it way before midnight to get it done.

Tuesday November 3rd

silvergenji — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:46:05 +0000

We have discussed changing meeting places and even tried a few...

But Books A Million is still the most welcoming venue that we've found. I'm casting my vote for if it's not broke, don't fix it, so BAM is where I'll be tomorrow night.

For those of you near Grovetown or Fort Gordon, I can give rides (hooray for the minivan) but I have to try to be home by 8:30 since my husband is switching to the night shift.

Facebook Collection

Kinneko — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:18:34 +0000

Quick thread to keep track of anyone who has Facebook. At the Kick-Off Event we mused on the idea of created a NaNo group on there for all of us! If you have a Facebook page, post the link here~

I'll update the list as more people post their pages!

Sunday November 1st- Kick off!

silvergenji — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:22:18 +0000

Since everyone seems to like the idea of IHOP, we're going to go ahead and do that for a kick-off event, I think. We'll be meeting at the Evans IHOP near the Kroger and down the street from the Walmart (since they have more room than the one near the golf course, and wi-fi).

**Please try to be there right at 9 or even a little before, if you're coming, because I know that they like to seat the whole group all at once on Sunday mornings.**

If anyone from Grovetown or Fort Gordon needs a ride, let me know!

The Midnight Club

silvergenji — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:10:34 +0000

Sooo... who else is up and refreshing the forums insanely waiting for midnight to roll around so that they can get started? I'm all settled in with my late dinner and my coffee and my NaNo fuel (aka leftover halloween candy) and my journal and my sticky notes and I can't wait! Hopefully I don't crash and fall asleep before midnight.

Genre Question

Kinneko — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:03:15 +0000

So, yeah... I'm not sure what genre to put my story under... any help? Here's the synopsis:

Quote:

In a future where gaming and virtual reality have become honed into a perfect combination, a girl's parents are on the verge of divorce, arguing constantly, abusing each other verbally and physically, and sometimes sixteen-year-old Angel gets caught in the middle. She escapes the woes of life, delves into a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), and begins to lose touch with her own reality. There she has friends, good friends, who listen to her. She has a loving boyfriend, who is always there for her. However, when her friends begin to quit the game and her boyfriend mysteriously stops logging in, how does she cope?

Kick-off event?

silvergenji — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:07:47 +0000

Right now we don't really have anything planned. Does anybody have anything that they would like to do? My idea was to meet at IHOP for breakfast (the IHOP in Evans has wi-fi!)... But November 1st is a Sunday and it will be CROWDED.
