Hello, B'ham area wrimos!
It's hard to believe another NaNo is drawing to a close. Time flies, huh?
No matter how you did this month, all participants are invited to our TGIO gathering where we will be celebrating the fact that NaNo is officially over.
Some of us learned this month, for the first time in our lives, that, yeah, writing a novel is actually possible. How cool is that? Some of us learned that writing a second, third, fourth, or fifth novel is actually possible. Also very cool. Some of us learned that, oh heck yeah, we DO have 20 or 30 or 40 thousand words in us. Tremendously cool! And some of us learned that there are other things in life just as or more important than writing a novel, writing a big ol' short story, or writing at all. Perhaps that is the coolest of all.
Congratulations to everyone!
We will be gathering to toast ourselves, pat each other and ourselves on the back, cry, whine, laugh, vent, and eat some magnificent pizza at:
Jim Davenport's Pizza Palace
2837 Cahaba Road
Mountain Brook, AL 35223
6 p.m.
Saturday, December 1st
PLEASE post here or send me a NaNoMail if you expect to come to our TGIO, so I'll have some idea of how many of us there will be. Of course, you are free to bring a guest. If you will be bringing a guest, please say so so I can count them, too.
Happy noveling!

Soynut,
Tim and I are definite maybes for the TGIO party. Off to boost my word count by writing a Cyber Sex scene (totally from my Muse's imagination, of course).
Best,
Janice

I'm from Tuscaloosa, but no one else in my area seems to have finished. I think I might like to come to the party if you'll have me.

Whoa, it's a purple winner bar party in here! Congratulations to all of you!
Looks there will be 9 of us tonight. This is great for a TGIO for our region.
I'm really sorry you can't make it, but I hope you enjoy the play!
We will definitely have you! You're more than welcome to come up.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. If anyone needs help with directions or isn't sure where Davenport's is or would like my phone number in case you get lost, send me a NaNoMail. I'll check back in at least once more this afternoon.
Congrats again on finishing NaNo this year!
See y'all this evening.

Soynut,
Tim and I can't come tonight. Sniffle, sob. Y'all have fun!!!
If anyone wants to keep in contact between now and next year, please send me a NaNo mail & I'll give you my regular email address. Next year is NaNo's 10th Anniversary and the Pell City gang is already brainstorming some ideas that we'd like surrounding areas to get involved in--including Birmingham.
We're also having a small TGIO party in Pell City next week. Date TBA.
Congrats to everyone who signed on for this mad adventure whether you got a purple bar or just learned something about your writing limits & how to budget your writing time better, including factoring in time for Stuff Happens!
Best,
Janice
