Hi everyone! I'm Kara, and I'm a Municipal Liaison for Memphis, TN. I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I also wanted to let you know that if you're closer to the Memphis area than you are to the Mississippi ML, you are more than welcome to join us for events. Feel free to affiliate yourselves to the Memphis region (you can affiliate with multiple regions) and stop by and say hello. We currently have a Kick-off party scheduled, as well as write-ins on every Saturday in November.
Happy writing!

I'm glad to do it! I can tell you, though you probably already know, that having an ML at your disposal, and going to the events and whatnot really enhances the experience! And I've heard whispers that people who attend events actually get a higher word count! :O)

Hello everyone,
I am posting on here for one reason and one reason alone. After this past year's NaNoWriMo I became inspired by the effort which Seatle made in achieving the largest combined wordcount in the world (16,757,473 total combined words to be exact). It is that effort that has sparked my vision.
I say that we, the combined elite writers of Mississippi, ban together in combining our wordcounts for November '08 to defeat the superpower of Seatle!
All I need from you is your NaNo account name, an email adress, and a will to commit to the word count goals you set (whether that is 1 word, 50k to win, or whatever more). Please post that information on here so I may add you to the roster for a contribution in the pot of wordcounts.
Also, anyone who would like to help me in gathering other prospective WriMos within the state, or those that would compete for our state from the outside. Please, oh please give me their information as well. Any help will be appreciated in the utmost of fashions.
We can most definitely do this as the Mississippi NaNoWriMo Elite!
