First off, we're sorry the site was down for an hour this afternoon. Sam says it was his fault, but Russ is trying to take some of the credit for breaking it too. We're too busy being excited about the upcoming November 15th Night of Writing Dangerously Write-a-thon to play the blame game. (Just between you and me, I blame Sam.)
But back to the Night of Writing Dangerously. If you haven't already bought your plane ticket to come to San Francisco for it, you need to do so now. Not just because you get a great dinner and a chance to win heaps of prizes, like new laptops and iPods and a baseball signed by Judy Blume. And not because you get unlimited caffeine and wine and candy and five hours of noveling time with a ballroom full of NaNoWriMo staff and participants. And not just because the night is a huge fundraiser for NaNoWriMo and the Young Writers Program.
No, you need to come because I'm going to be standing up during dinner and giving a talk about 10 years of NaNoWriMo, illustrated with lots of embarrassing photos, and I'm already nervous about it, and could use a lot of moral support.
Yes? Good. Try Orbitz. We'll see you at the SomArts Center.
Thanking you in advance for your calming presence at this exciting event,
Chris
