Hey teenagers! Not to exclude the adults or anything, but I'm just wondering how many other Clevelanders in the program are around my age. :) Hope everyone is off to a good start! My creative writing class will be doing the program during class each day, so this will be fun.

I don't know if I'm around your age, but I'm still a teenager at 18! Closer to twenty, though. But we won't talk about that, because then I start having my mid-life OMG-I-CAN'T-BE-TWENTY crisis.

Ha you count as a teen! And even if you didn't, who am I to discriminate against adults? I'm 16, not far off. :)

Hey! I'm sixteen, so you're not alone. (: I wish my creative writing class would do this, but unfortunately, I don't even think they know about it. I'm doing it with my mom, though. :P

That's awesome! I wish someone else in my family were even interested in writing.

I'm 19 and this is my first year. And somehow, already, my characters are taking off on their own. I tend to have that happen.

I'm 19, almost not a teen ( I don't feel like one) but I guess I still qualify until I'm 20! :) This is my first year and I live right outside Cleveland.

Hey! I'm about to be 16 and I'm glad other people my age are doing this...I thought I was the only one who knew about it. :-)

I'm a teen! I'm 15. That's really cool that your class is doing it! I wish my school had a creative writing class...

I'm 18 and this is my 4th year. By the end of the month I will be far away from here, but I suppose I'm a Clevelander for now.

Hey Jenny! :) I recognize a few other people, too. I'm Blaire and I'm 16. I hate that my school doesn't have a creative writing class, I'm really hoping they'll try it again next year (I signed up for it in 10th grade but there ended up not being enough people).

Well...hello, other Nanos! The name's Erin, and this is my first year in NaNo...I just heard of it last year, believe it or not through a spin off of it on fanfiction.net called FanNoWriMo. (Fan Novel Writing Month.)
I'm a teen, I suppose. My parents are uber overprotective, so I can't tell you how old I am...
Does living 25 miles away from Cleveland count?
Cool to meet you all!
Is anyone else feeling seriously freaked out about how much they've written?

You laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at you because you're all the same.

Hey Erin--I had to comment when I saw that you were doing FanNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo is pretty much the one month a year in which I can fool myself into thinking that I can actually write original fiction--the other eleven months are for burying myself in the nice, anonymous world of fandom. *g* Good luck with your Fan Novel!

Hey! I'm 14, and this is my first year doing Nano. I finally got around to joining a region (kinda late, but whatever). Good luck everyone!
P.S. Did I see someone on here with an almost full word bar? *dies*

Haha wow, there are so many of us! I'm glad there are people our age who show this much of an interest in writing. We're all doing great...keep up the awesome work!
