Might as well. So you guys want to meet regularly? xD Once a week or something like that? I can try sorting out the scheds. Just give me details for your free time and contact info on nanomail, as well as any suggestions for meeting place. As for what we'll do. I don't know. Let's all meet first and see what happens, yes? If all you guys want to do is have lunch or cry on each other's shoulders because you have no idea why you're doing this then that's what we'll do. We shall see. XD As for any workshopping. We can do that when the month is done. We'll have to give consideration for the length of course but we'll see if it's doable.

But, yes, to start it all off. Does everyone want to attempt to get together next week? It's enrollment so we don't have to match class schedules yet. Maybe Wednesday at around 5 PM so everyone can get their enrollment all sorted out first?

That sounds like a good time. Hopefully, by then, I'll be able to get those annoying subjects that just won't give themselves :P

Any particular place? Say...hm...AS lobby? Casaa? Or somewhere else? I don't know how many will be able to go so...yeah. But this still sounds fun~ =3

I've never written anything so long....

Yay for you UP Diliman people. \:D/

If you guys have finalized a schedule on when you would be meeting, can you let me know too? So I can put it on the calendar too. And if you need to have it announced through email, let me know too so I can spam send an email to everyone. ;)

kk, Tina. I'll let the week pass to see who else is interested. I should be able to give a venue by this weekend or so.

Wohohohoho! This smells fun. Hindi pa ako nakarating sa mga meet-up dahil masyadong malayo for me! A UP Diliman meet-up will be nice :)

Place? Suggestion pwede?...

Sa ERG Discussion Room sa Eng'g Lib II . Located ang Eng'g Lib II dun sa orange building across NIGS na may rampa in lieu of stairs. Pwede tayo mag-ingay dun!

And yes...convenient para sa akin dahil taga Computer Science ako, at ang building na yon ay ang homebase ng Computer Science :P :P

>_> I figure we might as well make it simple for this week. Wednesday (Nov. 4) at the A.S. steps at around 5pm. Just a meet up to familiarize ourselves with each other and we'll see what happens from there, yeah? If you haven't given me your contact info yet, please do so so you don't get lost trying to find us.

Oh. I wasn't suggesting ERG for the Enrollment meet-up. More like for weekly meet-ups (if that plan materializes). I don't know kung hanggang anong oras yun bukas but I've stayed there up to past 5.30pm.

And yes, pwedeng mag-ingay dun. Ang ERG Discussion Room ay isang sealed-off place sa loob ng library, sound-proof and tailored fit for...well...discussions. XD

Enrollment meet-up is okay then. AS steps would be good enough.

If it rains...AS lobby then?

The ERG...isn't that a bit far? o.O Not *that* far though. That discussion room sounds wonderful. It would be great if we can have weekly meet-ups there...

...if the weekly meet-ups are sure to happen ^-^

Hours left 'til we start writing! D:

Hey, this is cool a meet up of writers. I would like to join the meet up. I am not familiar with the landmarks you mentioned. But I will send my phone number to you.

Aw. I won't be able to come on the 4th. I'm enrolling tomorrow and I'd have to go back to Pampanga right after. I'll tell my friends though. :)

You're from Pampanga @starscoudlfall? That's interesting because I reside there too.

*wave* hi. certified newbie (nOObie?) here from UPD. got pushed in by a friend.

er, frankly, medyo nawiwindang pa ko. I'm confuzzled as it is, and I'm trying to get writing done even if the words I've got down are horrible, thinking that I could just pass this off as my first draft and edit stuff afterwards. If I actually get it finished by the end of november, that is. >>.

so like... um.. should I just drop by, wave at you guys, and see where it goes?

someone humor me please, and tell me what you want to know, and what you want me to do. :D thanks.

Hi Jaeh. You joined Nov 1, 2009. I joined Nov 1, 2008. I think parehas lang tayo ng sitwasyon last year. Nakita ko ang NaNoWriMo about a week before November sa blog ni pareng Neil Gaiman. XD. Hindi ko talaga naisipang sumali. Bigla lang akong napitikan ng desisyon saktong Nov 1.

At ayun! Sulat to the max agad. Pero wala akong plot. Wala akong istorya sa utak. Wala lahat. Naisipan ko lang talaga sumali. Well, hind ko talaga inasahang manalo at nangyari nga ang inaasahan :P .

Hindi maganda yung istoryang naisulat ko (pero siyempre mas maganda pa rin sa Twilight--isang bagay yan na ipaglalaban ko). Hindi coherent ang plot. May quote si pareng Neil na:

Quote:
The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising ("but of course that's why he was doing that, and that means that...") and it's magic and wonderful and strange. ~ http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2007/10/why-write.html

Madaming beses nang nangyari sa akin yan sa tinagal ko nang nagsusulat (parang "The Flow State" ng psychology) pero HINDI nangyari sa akin yan nung Nobyembreng iyon. Kabaliktaran pa nga eh. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba ginagawa yun ng characters ko. Hanggang ngayon, matapos ang isang taon, hindi ko pa rin alam :P.

My advice: enjoy lang! Read "What is NaNoWriMo" from the "About" button sa navbar ng website. Then you'll know NaNoWriMo is for people who know what they're doing AND for people who don't know what they're doing as well.

Happy NaNoWriMo! [waw ang haba ng reply ko :P]

thanks for the vote of confidence, and for the reassuring words. :D Medyo nawiwindang ako dito - di ko alam isusulat ko. 323 words palang. hahahaha. (and the Twilight thing helped. really. at least alam ko na kung anu man maisulat ko, mas maganda parin un sa librong un. hahaha)

Basta... sige... kung anu lumabas sa kokote... hehehe! Thank you again. :)

I'll try to see you guys there tomorrow. :)

>_> For the record. Look for a guy wearing sunglasses tomorrow. Yes I know I said 5pm. I'll probably wear a black shirt too. If you have my number, you may utilize that to locate me as well...and if all else fails just scream: "where the hell is that bloody bastard?" and I'll be sure to know you're looking for me. XD

Well, I hope that you'll be the only guy who wears *that* tomorrow. I haven't figured out what I'll be wearing exactly, but I'd probably be the girl in mismatched chucks colored black and white. So like, see you guys around. :D

mhmm... n.n;; I'm going to see what I can organize for you people then. I'll keep you all posted but I do want to see schedules. Although tentatively, we can do it Fridays after class.
