Noveling in April / May anyone?

caffeinecadet — Fri, 4 Apr 2008 07:30:23 -0700

Is anybody out there?
Having read 'No Plot? No Problem!' my burning fires of novel writing desire have been sufficiently stoked to attempt the madness. I have whipped up in my enthusiasm a small group of 4 to attempt a NaNoWriMo of our own.
Having stumbled upon this forum for the great region of Chelt & Glos, the home county, I'm throwing open the invite for you, good novelers of Gloucestershire, to join us!
The date is set and the countdown clock is ticking. April 14th - May 14th. (I was originally going it alone and wanted to coincide the end of NaNo party with an end of Uni party. I'm thankfully no longer alone but the date stuck.)
So, anyone interested in a pre season warm up before November strikes?

Our Thank god its all over party is going to be Friday the 7th, unless anyone has any huge objections, so lemmie know in this thread, via PM or email, or if you know me in person at Uni, grab me there ;)

Cheltenham meets

Kaiberie — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 02:18:09 -0700

Ok
Monday's are out, cause I have a standing commitment.
Wednesdays, similarly.

Other than that, I'm open. SOOOOO.
Could people call a day they'd like to meet up, in Cheltenham, during the evening. I'd ideally suggest Friday, for a couple of hours before we all go off to do other things, or go home to our families, but that's just a thought.

:) Provisionally, though, our kick off meet SHOULD be the 2nd of November, cause I've just been totally pants at organising stuff ;)

Friday meet 23rd November

Kaiberie — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 11:27:07 -0800

WE can meet at Varsity, for those interested, on the 23rd of November. I'll be there from 7pm, and SHOULD be in my Nanowrimo t-shirt, but if not, look for a redhead with shorter hair than my profile :)

Look forward to meeting anyone that makes it!

So, how's it goin?

Kaiberie — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 01:23:52 -0800

I thought I'd start some new threads and see if we can't get people talking in here too. I know, its wordcount you could be applying to your novel, but humour me.

;)

So, how's it going? Is anything happening you didn't expect it to, or is it, in fact, going exactly as planned?
:)

And now, for something coompllleeeetly different.

Kaiberie — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 01:26:54 -0800

Ok. So, yes the Nanowrimo is all about WRITING. But I was wondering what other hobbies people have. Mainly because I have a standing bet with my other half that most of the people that end up National Novelling around ME are gamers. Dunno how we did it but a fair chunk of the Scottish contingent (cause that's where you guys got me from) are gamers, and last year we landed with quite a handful too.

So.....
What's your hobbies?

(other than writing, reading and imbibing caffeine of course, they seem about par for the course for writers)

The pep talk thread

Kaiberie — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 05:39:58 -0800

Ok.
Something we discovered worked really well on the other forums I was on was the 'pep talk' thread.
I can offer ANYONE that wants one, a pep talk. You can have it via PM, if its something personal that you're having 'issues with' (I'll explain the 'personal' in a sec) or in public, if its general enough to fit everyone, or at least most people.

Personal versus public
There are some people that need pep talks in private. Perhaps its to brainstorm a plot problem, or more commonly, its because they don't want to tell people that something is going on. Having lived with an ex who didn't support my writing, I know that's one of the main ones I wouldn't wish on anyone, but can 'pep talk' in private.

Public ones - these are usually - 'omg lawls, can't get over writers block' - and yes, I had one of those once, we did it as a very funny agony aunt spoof.

I run SOME of these on my blog, but I won't do that unless I get permission, but to be honest, the ones that end up on the blog, are usually the ones I see about 10 times a day ;)

So, feel free, request away - either here (which makes them public) or by PM (in which case its in private) and I'll do what I can ;)

A good start?

Tinea — Sun, 4 Nov 2007 01:32:04 -0700

Did the meets go ahead on Friday? I was unable to attend any as I had to go to my partner's works Christmas do (I know, I don't know either), but I do want to go to future meets.

Besides that, how is everyone getting on? How are we feeling? I see some scary big numbers for some of you...

For the Records~!

adtherat — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 17:04:39 -0700

For everyone and for myself, I'm going to work something I sorta started last year. Since I got about 1733 words already written, my aim is to write 51733 words... basically start counting from now on.(I can dream, can't I?)

And it's 3 mins pass midnight for us.. Goodnight for all of you! =D

Stroud meeting?

rachelemma — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 16:39:09 -0700

Anyone up for it? If people want to PM me your availability & phone numbers I'm happy to try and organise something.

If anyone's free on Tuesday evening I'm suddenly at a loose end... it won't be November but it might be nice to meet and say hello when it isn't detracting from writing time ;)

Kick off meets

Kaiberie — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 02:34:02 -0700

OK guys and gals.
Cheltenham is covered (there will be a post in a couple of hours when I get through finding out what my timetable is like for that week) and I *think* Gloucester is too, but if anyone wants to organise a meet closer to their home, then please feel free to message me or otherwise get in touch.

If you're up for arranging meets in your area, then I'll probably send you your group's share of whatever 'goodies' are sent, unless you otherwise ask me not to - so please bear that in mind before 'vollunteering' ;)

Other than that, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible, that I haven't already met on other occassions - and it'll be great to see those of you that I've not seen for a while too!
