Tell Us About Your Novel!

Lady Lunas — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 19:37:44 -0700

We have quite a few people affliated with this region- that means a lot of stories will be written soon. What's yours about?

Mine's a dark urban fantasy with mythic overtones.

Hey, y'all. Man the site has had its problems this year! But it seems to be almost back to normal (today anyway).

Anybody hanging around?

Stats and a Sad Farewell

majkia — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:00:23 -0800

Here's what I've written- I hope to send it out sometime tomorrow evening (before I leave on vacation). Feel free to change anything you think needs it.

Hello, Northwest Florida WriMos!

It’s been a little over a week since NaNoWriMo ended, and majkia and I just wanted to share a few things about the region with you.

The stats:
Regional affliation: 124 people
People that “homed” the region: 85
Active “homed” people: 30

Total affliated word count: 1,224,110
Home region word count: 669,601

Number of “home” winners: 10

It means that out of the 30 active participants in the region, 1 in every three people reached 50,000 words. And that is an awesome statistic.

And just look at the collective word count. Yeah, we didn’t win the Word War against Mobile/Baldwin this year, but we gave it our best shot. We gave our stories the best that we could, and that’s what matters.

Not how much you wrote, but that you actually wrote something.

And, alas, I am sad to report that this will be my last year MLing the region. Don’t worry, majkia will still be here. But as I’ll be moving sometime within the next year, it’s no longer possible for me to be one of your Municipal Liasons. It’s been a great four years with you guys. I’m really going to miss you.

And from both of us, Happy Holidays!

Your friendly MLs,
Lunas and majkia

P.S. We'll miss you Lady Lunas.

The Regional Write-Ins

Lady Lunas — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:28:09 -0700

Hello, fellow WriMos!

Your MLs, majkia and I, have decided to host two official Write-Ins this November. You may be wondering what a Write-In is. Simple. All of you in the area that want to come bring laptops, notebooks, etc. to a meeting place. From there, we sit and write for a specified amount of time. It's a fun way to work on your NaNoNovel with a group of people doing the exact same thing.

The first write has been scheduled!

Where: Barnes and Noble, Airport Blvd., Pensacola
When: Saturday, November 10th
Time: 2 - 4 pm

We'll be meeting in the cafe.

The Kick-Off Party

Lady Lunas — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 12:38:15 -0700

Hello, NaNo-ers!

The Kick-Off Party is scheduled for Saturday, October 27th at 2 pm. We're going to be holding it at Bagelheads on the Beach.

1) It is on Pensacola Beach, so there will be a small toll after you cross the bridge.

2) Here's the website so you can peruse the menu. (I recommend the cinnamon rolls.)
http://uwf.edu/netmarketing1/bagels/beach.htm

If you have any questions, including directions, please feel free to PM us or post here in the Kick-Off Party thread.

Oh, and please let us know if you're coming or not. We need to know how many tables we need to snag. Thanks!

Hope to you you there!
majkia and Lunas
