Anyone here?

I see there's a listing for Sioux City, but no one seems to have posted to it!

I'm actually across the river in South Sioux, but you people are probably the closest NaNo'ers to me!

Anyone 17 or younger from the Sioux City area?

I know I can't be the only aspiring teenage writer in Sioux City...

I'm Annie and I'm 16. I've been writing since 6th grade and I am just beginning my junior year in high school. I have one (HUGE AND SUPER HARD) project on hold, one in the works, and one in the plotting/developing stages for NaNoWriMo 2008.

What about you?

Last Write-In/TGIO Party

Alphabeter — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:40:58 -0800

Note that tonight's weekly write-in (the last one for this year) has been moved from Panera Bread on the northside of Sioux City to the cafe in Barnes & Noble bookstore in the Southern Hills Mall which is located in the morningside area of Sioux City.

The start time is the same (7:30 pm) but the end time is 9:45 due to the store closing at 10 pm.

As for the Thank Gio Its Over Party, I need to know if people want a place with internet access so they can write right up until the deadline, or if y'all would like just a place to hang-out, drink, eat and talk words.

I will post the location after the write-in tonight but I will also accept online input---just please email me directly
[alphabeter (at) gmail (dot) com] instead of using the NaNo Mail on this site.

Keep writing everyone, the end is in sight!

I was not sure where to put this or who I need to contact. I am in the middle of a scene that would put my count above 25,000. I have looked at this and how long it took to reach it- compared to how many days are left. I am also having been having some major issues with several software programs. As I result I have lost major time towards anything else.

I can tell you this- next year- even if it means giving my comp a major over haul before hand- I WILL be back and I will break 50,000.

I wish everyone the best of luck in your novels. Keep writing and keep the faith!

Anyone from Briar Cliff here?

blackmare88 — Wed, 7 Nov 2007 15:03:26 -0800

Hey everyone,

I'm a college student at BC and was wondering if anyone else besides me and another friend are the only ones on campus doing this. This is my first time at NaNo so the more support I can get, the better. Add me if you are a student or faculty. My name is Rosemary. Thanks!

Keep writing! :)

FINALLY

Alphabeter — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:50:52 -0800

Hello everyone.
This is your late and horribly not-great (its a first draft lemme alone) ML for the Sioux City region.

As I have been 'doing Nano' for seven years with four years as an ML, I should know how to get an area alerted and motivated. I should also have a few other things that line up better so I'm not screaming at a dead motherboard on October 27th and leaving new people in the lurch for almost half the month of Nano!

Notice the word SHOULD. Then Life went "ha-ha". So no one but the handful who participated last year with me knew the kick-off party was Sunday the 28th. And only those who attended that party knew this year's weekly write-ins are on Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm at Panera Bread on the northside of Sioux City.

Now my shiny new toy is behaving and I am ready to take the written lashings of all my fellow SC-Nano'rs. Super mea culpa!

I will be posting all over the place today to let people know what the plans are and to see if we need to change the TGIO party.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, or THREATS INVOLVING BLUE PENCILS, please email me directly rather than through the Nano mail system (which is just...not good). My email can be found on my profile or I've carefully coded it below:
alphabeter (at) gmail (dot) com

Thanks to everyone whos stuck in this far. I will be a lot better during NaNoEdMo. I might even have my house unpacked by then!

Be well
Alphabeter/Joy
