I am. I'm in greater Besiktas, on the Bosphorus, writing about the Bosphorus.

I am! I'm in Beyoglu, writing in my apartment and in verious cafes in Cihangir.

This is my first NaNoWriMo, and I'm loving it so far... Istanbul gives great inspiration!

I tried to send you a NaNo mail, but it failed. I confess, I read your blog. Good stuff!

This is my third NaNo, I've finished both times before this. I've never met up with other NaNo'ers, but I would like to.

I see you are new to Istanbul-- it *was* very welcoming of them to give you a parade. The pride themselves on their hospitality, afterall. The day I arrived they put on a jazz concert and presented me with a husband!

I'm in Izmit (yes, I know, it's not Istanbul), so only an hour away. How's everyone doing? I'm getting a late start on this.

I've 10,300 words as of this morning, so I'd say it's going well :)

I am in Istanbul, only registered today... So, I cannot be accepted as working on my novel yet. Anyway, I will try my chance.

My first goal is to make 20,000 words (a novella). By mid-month, I guess I will see where I will end.

I'm up to 26,000. Check out my banner. Do you think anyone will have a hard time understanding where the book is set?
(It's just the working title...)
