If you are interested in attending the online Write Ins, those will be held every Saturday in November from 6-9 pm. The website is http://chatnano.net/tempchats/blackswamp.html
All you have to do is sign in, sign up and you're good to chat! See you all there!

There's an old folk saying that goes: Whenever you delete a sentence in your NaNoWriMo novel, a NaNoWriMo angel loses its wings and plummets, screaming, to the ground.

One of our participants asked how to get signed into the chat program and since they don't accept private messages, I couldn't respond to them, so hopefully they can find it through the forums. I will post my response here for anyone else who was confused. It is also now in the FAQ.
To attend the online write ins:
You click this link: http://chatnano.net/tempchats/blackswamp.html
The link will take you to the front page for the chat. At the top in all capital light purple letters is "Chat Now". Click on that.
It prompts you to choose a nickname. I would use your NaNoWriMo username so I know who you are. Then there is a button underneath that says "Connect". Once your username is in the box, you click connect and it brings you into the chat window. It then says "connecting to chat" and sometimes takes awhile to log you in, but then you will be in the chat and able to talk to us.
You don't have to register your username in the channel, so all of the information about registering happens only after you are logged into the chat where we can talk to you. It's not necessary, but I did register my username so it was mine and no one else could take it. You don't have to worry about that part. We're all a good group of people.
If this doesn't answer your questions or you can't get logged on next week, let me know. If you make it up on Wednesday I can use Panera's WiFi and demonstrate how to log into the chat. That's what I did last week for a couple of people who did make it.
