Finally! It's done!

KeyMon — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 17:32:08 -0800

Don't know if this really deserves its own thread, but right now I'm feeling so elated that I honestly could not care less.

About five minutes ago, at 8:23Pm, I finally passed the 50K finish line, for the first time in my NaNo-Life (2nd time participating)
My novel is not finished yet, but I am not going to do any more work on it today, considering my total word count for this Sunday was 6826, about the most I have ever written in a single day.

So thats one more of our North Bay Nanoists finished! :D It's an awesome feeling. How many other 15 year olds write novels?

Now I can look myself in the mirror, and pause my gaze at my head, and wonder how fifty thousand words ever came from there. But they did. =)

Relaxation, and rewards, here I come. To everybody else, good luck! =P

My novel's not done yet, but I got 50 000 words of it done and that's frankly better then I thought I'd do this year.

Wednesday Novemer 28

SparkyintheSnow — Fri, 9 Nov 2007 09:50:51 -0800

How about one last shot at a Cafeteria Write-In?

I'm thinking Wednesday, November 28 at 6pm, as it can be a mad-dash to the finishline night, and I will probably be able to stay a bit later than I did at the last one because I only have one class that day. I will also be able to brig power-bars so we won't run into the "musical plug-in!" game from the last one.

Also, We will be able to watch the Students on Stage Improv Team flaunt their mad, mad skillz.

Takers?

Happy Half-Way Day!!!

SparkyintheSnow — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:13:35 -0800

November is Halfway over!! For those of you who have hit the half-way mark, it's all easy-peasy from here! For those of you with some catching up to do, no worries, Hope Springs Eternal! :)

Because today is Half-way day, I'm writing like a fiend to get caught up (I keep falling about 4000 behind, and I'm going out of town this weekend!), and I'm probably going to treat myself to a glass of Cat-Wine (don't ask) if I can get my corkscrew back.

How are you celebrating?

Saturday November 10th

mantaraider — Thu, 8 Nov 2007 16:18:26 -0800

Once again my family is opening it's doors to allow people to come over for a write in. I'll be writing all day, but I figure if everyone would like to come over we can get pizza, or chinese, or just some sort of edible food, or movies. We'll figure something out, but yeah! all are welcome!

The location is 899 McLaren st, by the hospital. You can turn off Algonquin onto Bloem and my house is at the weird three way corner. So, everyone is welcome! and although nanomom will not be doing it this year, she'll be around to say hi and such.

So yeah! anytime from 12 or 2 on, and we'll all be in the back room. I hope to see everyone out!

TGIO Party?

SparkyintheSnow — Fri, 9 Nov 2007 09:54:04 -0800

I know we're all busy keeping up with our word counts (...!) But I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a Thank God It's Over!! Party?

I was thinking that we could meet up somewhere and share exerpts from our stories, and maybe some of the funnier experiances from the last month. As always, I will have goodies to hand out... And Probably Christmas Baking to subject...I mean treat everyone too.

So, My apartment is too small (sometimes even for me!), so would anyone be willing to open their homes? I'm thinking that the weekend of December 1st would be best, so we're not running too much into exams.

Thoughts?

Anyone want to come and hang out with me on the 8th? I'm good any time after 2:30, and I can get pretty much anywhere in the city.

Silly Question

poetic_butterfly — Fri, 2 Nov 2007 07:06:58 -0700

Hi Gang,
This feels really silly considering I managed to finish my Nano last year, but where do I update my own word counts? I looked around the my Nano Wrimo section and did not see the spot to fill in daily word counts. If you could lead me in the right direction that would be great!

Meetn' Greet/ Write in?

SparkyintheSnow — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 09:49:23 -0700

So now that we have some people back, does anyone have ideas for our first write-in?

Last year, we all met at Twiggs. I don't really want to do that this year, as I have a personal...issue with Twiggs (every time I've been in there this summer, they've been rude to me, so I don't want to give them the business...)

Please keep in mind that we do have some NaNoers that are not "of age", so no bars or pubs. House parties are the responsibility of the host.

Thoughts?

Ready, Set, Show!

mantaraider — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 07:10:23 -0700

Yes my title is cheesy but hey. Sue me.

As some of you know I've directed show and got to work with several people to create North.Light Theatre's first production, which premieres tonight. We run until Saturday, and I'm proposing a special deal for any NaNoers who would like to come. Normally the show costs $15.00, or $10.00 for students. However, for any NaNoer who comes to the ticket desk and says "Polly want a Hamster" Can get $2.00 off tonight or tomorrows performance. (Sorry, no deal for Friday and Saturday, but you can still come :) )
The show is taking place at the Cave which is a venue hosted in Wellspring at 194 Main West (across from the CIBC)
I really look forward to seing everyone out there, and lets make this Nano a great year.

Welcome Back, my Lovelies!

SparkyintheSnow — Tue, 9 Oct 2007 18:19:40 -0700

Welcome back to the land of the Nano, my wonderful writing loonies!

I'm back, and I do solumnly swear that I am up to no good... Wait a minute...
What I mean to say is that I really want to try this year to be a better ML than last year (I'm still pretending that last year didn't happen...) I'm not sure about actually finishing my Nano, but certainly doing more stuff, and NOT crashing Twiggs again!

So, how about a Roll Call? Who all is back?

Love and snuggles!
-Lacey (P.S, I've moved into my own apartment this year, and though there's only one internet connection, and it's only six foot floor to cieling, I'm going to try and do one gathering here. If you have plans or ideas, let me know!)
