If at any point you are confused about the time of one of these events, please don’t hesitate to contact your ML.

All of these events will take place in our chatroom, which is here: http://www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat2.htm. You can also get there from the Chat & Jar page on the Tri-City website. If you have a Meebo account, the room is called NaNoWriMo War Games

Anyone else using Google Docs?

crystab — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:17:45 +0000

This is my first time using it. At first it was great but as my document gets longer and longer it seems to be freezing up more and more.

Today was the ultimate heart attack experience. I had written just over 1,000 words and went to change over a load of laundry. I came back and it had wiped out my entire 32,000 words and saved it! My document was a complete blank. I started to freak and then calmed down and thought about it. Was somehow able to retrieve it from the revision history. I don't have Windows on my PC at home but do have a copy saved in Word at work but would've lost my 1,000 words from today. After today's fiasco I will be saving dual copies daily in Google also.

Has anyone else had this experience with Google Docs? Or, does anyone have another solution that I may be overlooking?

Meltdown averted but whew!

Sorry I missed you at todays write-in

kathrin806 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:33:53 +0000

Hi all,

I must have looked at the map wrong and went to Somewhere over on Pioneer Rd. That must have been the old location for Kade's? Anyway, when I got home I re-looked it up and I guess it's now on War Memorial?

I'm sorry to have missed writing with you, I was really looking forward to some friendly faces going through the same weird stuff that happens when you try to write a novel in 30 days.

If there is going to be any other write-in's soon or even informal ones, please let me know, I would love to try to join you if I can get away from work and home.

Is "Untitled" Still the Name of Your Novel?

Here's the link to a Writer's Digest article on coming up with the perfect title:

http://writersdigest.com/article/7-tips-to-nail-the-perfect-title/

Now I need an article that addresses--"Help! My rambly characters have taken over and I need to shut them up!" type of an article. I guess rambling is a good-ish thing during NaNoWriMo though. ;o)

Author Chat tomorrow, Nov. 17th

weylyn42 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:12:13 +0000

Join the Gainesville region on Tuesday, Nov. 17th for our Big Event Write-in.

Gainesville WriMos: The in-person event will take place from 5pm - 10pm in Library West, Info Commons. Refreshments will be available, as well 3-mini word-wars, one after each of our guest authors, for a chance to win a book by these authors.

For everyone in Peoria, Gainesville and New Brunswick regions: We have three awesome guest authors joining us via live-chat to provide inspiration and to answer questions about their works and the craft of writing. These author chats are being hosted in a Meebo room that is different from where the word-wars take place, so please make note of this link:

Large Chat Window: www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat.htm
Small Chat Window: www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat-small.htm
Back-up Chat Window (in case the host site is down): www.uflib.ufl.edu/LibraryWest/NaNoWriMo.html

The Authors:

J.V. Jones (5:30-6pm Peoria / 6:30-7pm Gainesville / 7:30-8pm Fredericton)
J.V. Jones is author of the bestselling Book Of Words series. Her books have been translated into nine languages. Her latest book, Watcher of the Dead, will be published by Tor in April 2010. She lives in San Diego. http://jvj.com

J.C. Hutchins (6:30-7pm Peoria / 7:30-8pm Gainesville / 8:30-9 pm Fredericton)
An innovator in online publishing and promotion, J.C. Hutchins has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR's Weekend Edition and Time.com. He used podcasting and fan evangelism to land two fiction book deals from St. Martin's Press. His 7th Son thriller trilogy is the most popular "podcast novel" series in history. jchutchins.net

Mur Lafferty (7:30-8pm Peoria / 8:30-9pm Gainesville / 9:30-10pm Fredericton)
Mur Lafferty is an award winning American podcaster and writer based in Durham, NC. She was, until July 2007, the host and co-editor of Pseudopod. She is also the host and creator of the podcasts Geek Fu Action Grip and I Should Be Writing, and author of Playing for Keeps. She is participating in NaNo WriMo 2009 to work on the sequel. murverse.com

The Rules:
Please edit your username for the room to include the first letter of the region you are closest to: P-, G- or F- (E.G. P-Hewey; G-Dewey; F-Louie)

Authors will be introduced at the beginning of their chat, and I'll ask the first question to get the ball rolling. After that feel free to ask questions of the author, but be respectful of them and other participants. Sometimes an answer may be broken up over more than one entry from the authors. I've asked them to use ellipsis (...) to indicate they are still in the middle of answering the question. If you see this, please wait until they have finished answering before asking the next question.

Authors are scheduled for half hour chats each, and transcripts will be made available if you are not able to attend one or more of these chats. If you aren't going to be able to make it, and you have a question for a specific author, you can post those here until 4:00 pm EDT tomorrow. After that, I might not get them.

The rest of us are almost there or on our way to a good start. Thank you to everyone who is encouraging us, I know I really appreciate the emails and forum advice. As a first year NaNoWriMo all you do helps me and inspires me to write.

Tri-City Frenemy program

weylyn42 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:16:33 +0000

Howdy,

I am Christy, one of the co-MLs from the Gainesville, FL region, and this thread is to introduce the "Tri-City Frenemy" program. This year Fredericton (New Brunswick), Gainesville (Florida) and Peoria (Illinois) have teamed up to create a little cross-regional competition. In addition to the online write-ins that each region is hosting, we want to encourage wrimos in the regions to reach out to writers in your "Sister-Cities" to find a writing buddy(friend)/enemy.

By picking a Frenemy from the Tri-City group, you'll have someone you can look to for support, or a little one-on-one competition during the online word wars, or at other times during the month. If you are looking for a writing buddy, I encourage you to reply to this post, let us know if you are looking for someone who will cheer you on, or someone who will taunt you whenever their word count sneaks past yours.

Feel free to take on more than one Frenemy, but remember, a writing buddy is a commitment, you have to feed them, walk them, and… well, not quite, but if you do pick a writing buddy, you both want to know that you'll have someone who will help see you to the 50k finish line.

So go ahead, and post your info, or look at the posts others have made, and find someone who you think would be a good match to your writing style, and adopt a Frenemy today. This thread appears in all three regions, so there is no need for you to leave the comfort of your own regional forum to find a Frenemy.

And for those frenemy buddies that want a chance to meet before November, - or if you'd rather pick a writing buddy "live", join us at the Tri-City Online Meet & Greet, to be held on Thursday, October 29th at the following time:

Peoria 6:30-8:30 pm
Gainesville 7:30-9:30 pm
Fredericton 8:30-10:30 pm

(This is the same time, reflected in the respective time zones)

The chat room for the online Meet & Greet, as well as the word wars (or any clandestine meetings for Tri-City region writers) is http://www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat2.htm

(If you have a Meebo account, the room is called NaNoWriMo War Games)

I look forward to seeing everyone through November!

Online Tonight

Summourn — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:04:47 +0000

Hi! I know there's a write-in going on tonight. I haven't been able to attend because it's always when I have my math class scheduled, but I am a little under the weather so won't be attending class tonight. I don't really feel well enough to show for the write-in, but will anyone be in the chatroom during that time? I'll be there. :)

Happy Municipal Liason Appreciation Day!!!!

johannsen — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:38:15 +0000

Cheri and Nicole,

I hope you have a great day today, and thank you so much for everything you do to make this Peoria NaNoWriMo group the best group ever!!! The write-ins (both online and in person) are a blast, and your great attitudes are infectious! You have made this 'outsider' feel very welcome and I am thoroughly enjoying my new friendship with each of you.

USA :: Illinois :: Peoria

A fortuitous meeting...

johannsen — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:57:03 +0000

As some of you know, yesterday at the Write-In at Kade's we found out that the lady sitting next to our group was a book editor. We managed to pick her brain a bit and it was a lot of fun. She seemed very interested in what we were doing and even offered us her contact information. I wanted to share that info with all of you, too!

Her name is Heather Delabre and her email address, if you are interested in hiring her services down the road, is hdelabre@gmail.com

She did ask that you please put in the subject header of any emails you send to her the words NaNoWriMo or Peoria Writing Group, or something like that so she can keep everything organized on her end.

Good luck everyone!

USA :: Illinois :: Peoria

So, how do you feel?

Summourn — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:21:29 +0000

Congrats to all of you who are writing so far. I'm proud of you! Isn't it nice to see those word counts go up? Isn't it strange to find your characters veering off into, well to put it lightly, unexpected directions? Isn't it cool to know you're actually doing it, working toward this amazing and fun goal?

I wanted to ask, most importantly, how does your novel make you feel so far? Is it what you've planned or hoped for? Does it rise above your expectations and give you a warm fuzzy feeling every time you sit down to add more to its novelly glory? Is it maybe going in another direction from what you hoped, or turning out to be some horrible, terrible monstrosity that haunts you in your nightmares but you find you have some eerie unnatural drive to keep writing anyway? (I myself am starting to view mine as the latter, but chocolate, hot tea, and a grumbled reminder that this is only the rough draft keep me going.)

Share how it's going for you this year so far! We're almost about to wrap up the first week already. How time flies when you're having fun! (And how it flies even faster when you have a deadline to make!)

Tri-City: Word War Rules

weylyn42 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:54:52 +0000

At our online chats we will be holding multi-region word wars. At most of the regular chats, (Sundays, Thursdays and Saturdays) the word war will take place during the middle hour. Chat Room Here: www.crushedmuffin.com/Chat2.htm

At the other online events, word wars may take place as decided by the host region for the event. One of the MLs for the host region will be moderator / time-keeper for the word war. She will call “go” and “time,” at the prescribed time.

Participants in the war will write during that hour, and stop when time is called. In order to determine which words were written during the word war, we ask that you do one of the following:

1. open a new document for the word war, and use the word count feature there
2. write down the number of words you have before we start the war. Subtract that from your total word count at the end of the war to determine how many words you wrote
3. or write you words for the word war in a different color text, so you can easily highlight it and do a word count on your selection.

At the end of the word war, once you have your word count, you will need to report the number of words you wrote. Before the word war, an ML from each region (if available) will identify herself as the one to take your word count.

Report the number of words you wrote to your ML. She will tally all word counts, and come up with the average word count for the region (total number of words divided by participants in the region). Your ML will report the word count average to the hosting ML, and she will announce the winner of the word war.

If no ML is present from your region for the word war, the hosting ML can either ask for a volunteer from your region to gather and average the word counts, or take and do the math for multiple regions.

This is a honor system. Please report your words truthfully.

We recommend keeping an eye on the time yourself, and/or leaving your chat window open, at least a little, next to your document, so you know when the war ends.

In order to be fair to people in your region for average word count, you can’t participate if you join the word war and/or are not in the chatroom more than 15 minutes after the word war starts.

Ideas for write-ins, parties & fundraising activities thread

grouchmuffin — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:45:16 +0000

We had 2 ideas tossed around yesterday for our TGIO party in December--one to have it at Firehouse on Galena with a live DJ. One to have it at (Jester---help me out!) a bar/grille in East Peoria when Jester's band is playing.

Mid-month I want to have a movie night...maybe at one of the libraries with writerly movies. I have The Secret Window with Johnny Depp and Stranger than Fiction with Will Ferrell. Someone also suggested we had to watch Misery with Kathy Bates. So--who would be interested in that? It would likely be Saturday the 14th...

Also, wanted to feel out how many of you might be interested in A-A NaNo Carols writing contest and B-Singing the NaNo Carols for donations (if we suck, we can always ask for donations to STOP singing-hee) for NaNoWriMo & its affiliated programs. The idea is this--take a well known holiday song, like Jingle Bells, Over the River and Through the Woods, Auld Lang Syne and replace the known lyrics with writing/NaNoWriMo related themes. For instance (hum a bar of Jingle Bells with me!) "NaNo books! NaNo books! Written all month long. Now they're done, so much fun! Why don't you take a look?" Yeah...lame...but crazy fun lame. =) There would be a prize for the winner of the contest & then if you don't have the funds to contribute--you can write a song, sing the tune & we can send the check with donation $ into The Office of Letters and Light with everyone who participated on the list.

What other crazy fun lame and non-lame ideas do you all have? Let's hear them!!

Hello all!

I'm Nicole, your Co-ML for Nano 2009. Cheri, your ML, has been uber busy, so I thought I would take the opportunity of my new found ML powers to post a welcome thread so that we could start getting to know each other.

So...tell us about what you do, what you write, your hobbies, whatever comes to mind! I know it's going to be an excellent year!

The first day Beginneth...

Juniper34 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:11:16 +0000

It's so exciting to see word counts start to appear on everybody's progress bars! Yay! I just updated mine, and though modest in number, it makes me happy nonetheless. It seems it gets easier as the word counts get larger and we all get used to writing every day for extended lengths of time again.

And...you will be amused to note (Cheri especially) that I did actually bust out my little laptop at 12:30 while drinking at the Firehouse after I got off work. I got more then a few strange looks and questions, but it was worth it!

Just wanted to share my excitement at getting things underway!

We've mostly introduced ourselves to each other, so why don't we introduce the stories we'll be crazily committing ourselves for the next month to? Or if you don't have a story in mind yet, what various ideas do you have floating about? And what inspired you to stumble across these specific ideas or specific story? :) I'd love to hear all about your upcoming NaNos!

What are your pre-launch plans?
