I'm sure you all know this, but I didn't; Daylight Savings ends Nov. 1 at 2 a.m. That means If you start at midnight, you can write for two hours, roll the clock back an hour, and write until 2 a.m. again.

A free writing hour! How cool is that?
Of course, you have to be awake at that hour to take advantage of that... *grin*

But if you aren't, just remember to roll your clocks back an hour before you come to the write-in at Grass Roots at 10:30 a.m. that Sunday.

Remember -- no matter how many or how few words bleed from your fingertips, by Nov. 30 you'll have written more of a a novel than most people write in a lifetime. Keep writing! Because darn it, it's fun!

Okay, I'm really embarrassed to admit this, but I do not know how to find the write-in schedule. Help!

No problem. Go to the Albany-Corvallis forum on the NaNo website. Click the view tab if it's not already clicked. There is a scrolling schedule on your right.

If you have a Google account, you can click on the oblong Google icon under the scrolling box and see it in monthly format. You can register for a Google account for free.

Yet another reason to love the extra hour in the fall...2k! OK, off to bed now before everything I write just turns to gibberish. I hope to pop in to Grassroots tomorrow at least for a little bit. Speedy starts to you all!

I definitely took advantage of the extra hour, and have already reached today's goal! Yay! I hope to double it at the write-in today. Woo hoo! NaNo! Bring it!
