My 24th birthday happens to be November 1st--the day NaNo begins!
Any others out there celebrating a birthday during the month of the 50K novel quest?

My birthday is December 1st so that has something to do with NaNoWriMo, because the minute the November ends, I turn 19! And my sisters birthday is November 30th.

I'm turning 21 on the 18th. Seeing as there will be a week of partying involved in that... and that my dad is taking my family to las vegas during thanksgiving break in celebration of me being able to gamble legally... my novel will definitely have some interesting turns and twists in the second half of the month :P

From one Sevvie to another...my condolences. Still, at least it's on a Friday this year, so you can send everyone else off for their TGIF party and get the best birthday gift one can give a NaNo--several uninterrupted hours of sheer writing glee. This year, it's going to be especially vital!

I'll be turning 30 on November 10. I'm trying to think of something really special to do, but I haven't come up with anything so far..... My husband and I want to buy a Nintendo Wii, and that might happen sometime mid-late November. Right away, when we decided on that rough timeline, I said it could be a combination birthday - NaNo present.
I usually take that day off, assuming I'm far enough ahead at that point in the month, which I have been the past few years.\
Happy birthday!

It's not my birthday, but it is my best friend's - which means an all weekend party (we lump her birthday and a big BBQ and fireworks (for bonfire night) together over the weekend). It'll be fun but I'll have to try and get at least a half what I should write over the weekend done by Friday night.

I don't have a birthday in November but I know about four people who do right at the start, including my boyfriend :P so I have a feeling I may get behind quite quickly...
