Okay, the last write-in! This upcoming week, what do people think? Tuesday or Wednesday?

Also, who wants to count down to the end of Nano together? We could organise a Friday night write-in if people are up for it.

Weigh in!

2005 - "Trevor James: Space Actor"
2006 - "Writing a Novel"
2007 - "Basil Turret and the Prisoner of Algebra"

Knowing how little work gets done at a write-in, I don't think having a last day write-in is such a good idea. I am pretty sure I am going to be tapping away furiously at the keyboard trying to squeeze in those last few words. How about a day after last day? Have a get together at AFK and congratulate and commiserate. We could all bring an except from our books and have a reading or something.

Tuesday!
I can make it to both, but Tuesday's my vote.

Is AFK open late enough to have a count-down? (If so, cool!)

I can make all three! I do agree that a celebration is likely to be more productive than a countdaown though.

I'm keen for both a write-in and a countdown.

I promise to shut up this time, 'speshially about Gandhi... and only have bottles of water. ;)

I hope my selfishness didn't effect people's opinions of write-ins and make them less wanting to participate.
For the record, I only came to one. :P

Eh, well, I'll be home until Friday or Saturday at this rate so I won't be able to make the write-in. I'd be up for a clock-over party though. Ideally we could all meet up some place at midnight on the finish line. I do somehow question the logistics of that however as most of us rely on public transport.
Uhm, yeah I think I'll be in a similar boat as Amanda if not already given up. I think I have to hit something like 9k words a day now. I'm going to have to be pretty full on. I dare say that average might get bumped up a bit more as I've got a fair bit to do this week too. I'll be happy with 25,000 at this rate. Still, I'll see what I can do.

Short answer, no I can't come to the write-in so I have no opinion, but I'm all for a countdown party seeing as how I'm hopelessy behind.

Well, I'm not there... I wish I was, but I've been all sad-girl since saying goodbye to LustForLike at the airport *sniffles*
My house is too big for me!!!

Anyway, hello to everyone who's there! Write lots, drink little ;)

Hey every one who is currently at the write in.
As you can see, I can't make it. I managed to do a good 3000 words today so far, but currently am out of steam.
Not far to go, though.

Although not an official write in, I was going to head to AFK tomorrow (Thursday) from about midday. Any one who wants to join me is welcome, although I am going to be seriously writing, not chatting and goofing around. I am going cause I can't access internet from there. (Curse you StumbleUpon!)

See you there, or not.

Sorry I missed you, LL. I tried to respond before I left mah home but my wireless died. As it does.

Big "awww!" and hugs for Stormy.

All the best 'Manda. I think I'll just write from home. Spent all my cash yesterday on bus fare and AFK chips.
Mmm... chips.

I'm not even going to complete this. Damn my social life!

I'm sad for not being able to come. :(
