Hello All
As you know this year I am helping Vicky out and part of that is to take control of the online meets. These meets are going to be ran via MSN messenger and hosted by me.
The point of the online meets is not only to give a chance for people to boast about their growing word count, but also to share ideas, ask questions and have a good rant. The other main purpose of them are word wars.
For those who do not know, a word war is a timed event in which for a set time we all add to our nanowrimo and then once the time is up we will tell the group how many words we have written. Technically the person with the most words wins, but of course everyone is a winner because they’ve boosted that word count!
After a fair bit of deliberation I have decided it will be worth holding two online meets a week. These will be on Tuesdays at 7.30pm to 9.30pm on Saturdays at 5.00pm-7.00pm (slightly earlier so our young writers can join in, and anyone going out has time to get ready and of course those of us who watch the X factor!).
If you all add me to your MSN/ Live messenger service: Beccalicious AT gmail.com (and let me know who you are!). I will invite those online just before the meet starts.
I hope these times and days are okay. If you can’t make it at those times, I expect people will be online for unofficial chats and also if you are on deviantArt.com the #nanowrimo chat room is currently rammed with people who are always up for word wars (hence my word count being high).
Feel free to ask me any questions!
Becca
ps. This does not include tonight!

Eeew Man U? That can't be true.
Saying that I won't be able to make the 28th meet up as I'll be watching the mighty Rams beat Reading (hopefully).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Why Tuesdays?! It's the one night of the week that I can't do!!! You're mean Becca, very mean :p
Only kidding, I will be around on Saturdays, so you're not getting rid of me that easily…

Nothing wrong with loving a good team.
Cally- Last time I watched Derby V Reading at Pride park it was the most depressing football match I'd ever been to. I was sat with the home fans who were booing their own team and leaving in the 60th minute!
Firefly- I picked two days because I figured one day would not be good for everyone so at least there is a choice :)
