So, I've chosen a very laid back way to start my very first NaNo in just 25 minutes and counting time. I shall be starting the official writing off of the whole of November in my bed with a very beautiful little Cat called Misty, shame i couldn't come to your kick-off party(anyway from their using the forums tonight) but i'm only 13 and my dad only sort of clocked on at 8pm tonight and as we live up in Newcastle he couldn't be arsed to come down to the kick off party.
Anyway i'll give you a bit of background i'm headig into NaNo having read about 2 pages of NaNo for the insane then getting bored and going back to playing tetris and absolutely no plot whatsover, basically i'm just going to write whatever comes into my head onto a word document. I'm also very worried that my urge to delete will be so great i'll have tocater for it. Anyway, if you have internet in Deaf Hill/Trimdon Station hows the kick off party going or have you not thought to use NaNo yet. Their is now 18 minutes left until official kick off can't wait. Heck I type slow.

Welcome to nanowrimo!
I'm not at the kick off party either, so I'm writing at home and listening to music instead. Just wanted to say hi and Happy Halloween.
Have fun,
Angie

Nothing persomal just don't say happy halloween for to reasons:
A) it isn't meant to be happy
B) I don't celebrate halloween as i have christian beliefs that mean its wrong.
Anyway nice to know i'm not the only one who couldn't make it anyway hows your word count going i'm almost finished page 1 and have passed target a of 500 working towards target B 1000 then its the hard slog between 1K and 5K that seems most daunting 4K between my satisfactory levels not going to be easy anyway set a cut off of 3am for tonight so i achieve a basic level of sleep during the night.
Also whats your novel about?

Upto to 680 words now, but feeling tired already. Think I'll probably manage another hour or so of writing tonight. Sorted out my basic plot, and working on the theory that each day will be a new chapter in the story, so each night I'll finish on a cliff-hanger to entice me to keep writing the next day..... not sure if that idea will work yet, but it's worth a try.
Going to try and make it to Cafe Nero tomorrow at 2pm.

Your ahead of me then. I'm on 655 and very temted to go to bed. Its that dertermination to reach 1000 but that means about 1hr more up writing which really seems quite a hard choice. Sleep or Target B achievement. Well, its writing first tonight for one night only, seen as his is the last day of NaNo i'll have as much freedom to stay up for good long hours as i have had tonight/this morning. Well better right darn fast.

I am at the kick off parrty, but everyone else has gone to bed already. Well it is now 4am, but I am still going strong, and I just hit 3k so I am taking a well deserved break. I am hoping to get up to 7k before everyone gets up :)
