Hey everyone!
Folks are starting to make plans for Nano-related gatherings and I thought a new thread would be a good place to dialogue and organize events.
If you are interested in hosting an event, please post info here.
Thanks!

Help!

Victoria Hume — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:38:38 +0000

Hi there,

I'm writing a story that's partially set in the UP. The only drawback is I live in England and i've never been to Michigan! The story's about a bunch of sirens on the run - hence they head to the wettest, inland place they can find.

I'm going to create a fictional town (probably on the southern coast of UP), so i won't need to be too accurate with my descriptions. But i was hoping some of you might be kind enough to tell me some of your favorite memories of where you live.

Specifically, shops, chain-stores, how the lake looks at dawn and dusk, what your local bars and restaurants are like. What the world is like round your neck of the woods, interesting local characters, etc etc. It's the details i'm interested in, the sort of stuff you can't pick up off the internet. The sounds and smells and ambiance.

Thanks so much for your help and sorry to hi-jack your regional forum!

Victoria

First Day Goal

Yahoo! I met the first day with fury. I punched out 2245 words and I still feel like I should keep on going. Daily nutritional needs must be met, though. Good luck to all the rest of the Yoopers!!!
