Good morning, NaNoers!
This is Gayle [francis_grey], your Friendly Neighborhood ML, checking in! For those who are new to the whole kit and kaboodle that is NaNo, my official title is Municipal Liaison. My job, in short, is to keep you guys on task with the novels come November. My job, in long, is to set up meet-ups and write-ins, get to know you, keep up on the boards, and be your back up should you need to vent or scream or want to throw your computer out a window. I'm the NaNo den mother, and I love it.
And this year [this'll be new to the old hats, too], I've got back up! Miss Alecya Giovanni [aka Sarah] has graciously offered to be my right hand, my second-in-command, my backup with the plan. She is a very, very brave person, and I admire her greatly for her courage to put up with me on a one-on-one basis during November.
I could use this space today to talk to you about what we're going to do for NaNo 2007, but honestly, it's not all quite hammered out yet. However, we do have a meet-up all set up and ready to go! For those of you new to the fold, we typically do one or two meet-ups before the actual NaNo kickoff. It's just a chance for people to touch base and get to know each other before we all get distracted by our novels and our characters and the amount caffeine that's thrumming through our veins.
First Meet-Up Info:
When: October 13th, 3:00 PM-7:00 PM [It's a Saturday]
Where: Library Center, Meeting Room A
What to Bring: A snack, if you need it. There are no soda machines in the library. There's a coffee shop, but it's open air, and we have always been a boisterous group, so you'd have to buy it and bring it back, but the library does allow you to bring a little something to keep you going while you're in a "meeting".
Getting to the Library Center is fairly easy. You go south on Campbell. You go a little further south on Campbell. And then you keep going south on Campbell. You will eventually turn right on what Google tells me is "East Lakewood St." I just know it as "the longest stop light in the history of time and space".
I hope to see you at the meet-up, and if you can't make it, no worries! We'll have a second, I'm sure.
Your Friendly Neighborhood ML,
Gayle
