*taps the mic* Is this thing on?
Salutations, fellow crazy writers!
Welcome to Nano 2009! My name is James (but most call me Jam--the guy, not the preserve) and I'll be your host for the next two months while we work out our ideas, get to know one another, enter the madness with ever-so-much optimism, and go completely mad by the end of November.
I don't know about any of you, but I am shocked that it's been ten months since we finished up Nano. I want to say that after having done this for four years, last year was by far our most successful year in St. John's and I am very much looking forward to it again this year.
The writing community in St. John's and across the province is so diverse and I'm happy to see that our Nano group is reflective of that; different age groups, backgrounds, and people originally from Newfoundland are just a few examples of our varied walks of life that will only help us through a very challenging month of, as the Nano gods put it, "literary abandonment".
Please feel free to post on these forums whatever you like (within reason) about story ideas, concerns, questions, etc. If you have any questions for me about the Nano process or the program in general, don't hesitate to write me on here or email me at amelioratio@gmail.com.
As the time grows nearer, we'll plan our launch and some dates, locations, and activities, but for now, enjoy the quiet before the storm of keystrokes.
Your illustrious ML,
Jam
