I just wanted to make a post to congratulate all the participants of NaNoWriMo this year and how excited I am to see any and all of you at the TGIO party. We have all made great strides this year. We've met people that we never would have met, done things that we never would have done, (like writing 50,000 words when I've never written more than a short 5,000 word short story required for a class) and learned things about our selves. We were not able to meet everyone we would have liked to but now we have more to look forward to next year. The problems that we had this year, we can now plan for next year. The group I was with set up deals where those who could not be there with us were able to sprint virtually via AIM. Next year we could make that even bigger. We could have write-ins in separate places be able to be virtually joined if we choose. The more the merrier. I am proud of everyone for the amount of support that has been shown to everyone this year. I can only speak for the southern write-in group we had but this could lead to some great friendships.
So please everyone enjoy your accomplishment, whether it was writing 500 words, 5000 words or making it all the way to 50,000. We are all awesome!
And for those of you interested, remember the TGIO party at Red Robin on Southcenter Blvd on 12/1 at 2pm. We're gonna have a blast!

Hey, how long is the TGIO party. Would I be able to be there at around 4:30? Or would that be too late?

There are two. One Downtown Seattle at Seattle Center with Ice Skating. And then one in Tukwila at the Red Robin. It's up to you. Which ever one sounds best! :)

That was a great party! It was so nice to see everyone and just schmooze and hang out for a while. I totally do not get enough time around the crazy kinds of people who write monthlong novels. (I got stuck this quarter living with the kind of people who watch late-night soap operas and reality TV. Mainstream Americans are such weirdos.)
I'm glad I went. Next Halloween can not get here soon enough!
