I mean, it is Friday night.
I still need to pull a NaNo all-nighter this year and I think it is going to be today.
So... anybody is in?

Croatia

Dobar dan! Ja ne govorim hrvatski dobro (I don't speak Croatian very well), so I'll be doing all my writing and communicating in English. If anyone out there is from Croatia, lives in Croatia, is married to a Croatian, or just loves to eat Croatian food... then let's support eachother while we write, write, write during the month of November.

I'll be starting a new novel of women' fiction. Haven't got a title yet, but I'll be ready by midnight October 31st.

I'll be writing from Zagreb this year....and probably spending some time at the Profil cafe on Bogoviceva where I can think about my novel while staring at all those books!

Happy writing!

I may be the only one participating in NaNoWriMo in Ukraine, but I wanted to at least drop an email here to see if there are others.

I'm out in L'viv right now, though grew up in Northern California. Have also lived in Kyiv, Odesa, and Kherson.

I'll be trying either fantasy or sci-fi, as that's the genre I most enjoy. This is my third NaNoWriMo, by the way.

Drop a response in this thread if you're in the area!

Cheers,

Dan

Writing time strategies

Adrielne — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:39:05 +0000

So, what's the best time for writing for you? The night? Bright and early in the morning before work? Whenever your boss or teacher isn't looking and you're able to open the word processor? Coming home on the bus, with about twenty people reading over your shoulder?
I personally have a problem with getting writing time in during the day, because I didn't tell Mom I'd be writing (she wouldn't be too happy with me slacking off on schoolwork to write some novel just for the fun of it) and my keyboard isn't in the best of states... What do you do to get some peace and quiet when you try to put all of your creative ideas on paper (or in this case on your computer screen)?

What to eat when you have to get the words down...

If we weren't meant to eat late at night, why is there a light inside the refrigerator? Okay, we don't really believe that, but sometimes you gotta break the good eating rules. What to munch when you’re in the dark and on the prowl? Depends on why you're awake.
We don't want to turn into a tub by the end of November, due to all the snacks and nibbling! so...here is something from RealAge.com . For me this is REAL important:

If You're Burning the Midnight Oil

Mainlining coffee to get your PowerPoint project done works if you're caffeine tolerant (Mike is). But if you're not (Mehmet avoids the stuff), it could leave you with a world-class case of jitters in the morning, when it's time to run your project by the boss. A much better choice (even for Mike types): a salad of dark greens, chopped veggies, and a few walnuts. The complex carbs in the veggies give you energy and the walnuts provide omega-3s, which help your brain recover during what sleep you do get.

If You're Just Tossing and Turning

Starchy carbs may help you nod off. Foods that quickly raise your blood sugar also lift blood levels of the amino acid tryptophan, which the brain converts to soothing serotonin. So try microwaving a small potato, warming up some leftover brown rice, or popping a 100% whole-wheat English muffin into the toaster. Then, wait for the ZZZs. Just remember to turn off the microwave/stove/toaster so you don’t wake up to a fire alarm.

If You're on a Diet, or Just Plain Hungry

Give your rumbling tummy some satisfying protein: a little lean turkey or the protein-rich grain called quinoa (keen-wah) -- it's kind of like extra-fluffy rice -- or an egg-white omelet. Getting about one-third of your daily calories from lean protein may also help you burn a few extra calories while you sleep.
