It would seem that the turnout for this coming Sunday's meeting is going to be very low compared to our first meeting (but almost anything would). I think there were at least five of the 14 that showed up yesterday that won't be attending, myself included.
I would still recommend people show up though, unless there's no interest here. Getting to speak with others that know what you're going through has to help. (I was just about to hit Ctrl-S, who first mentioned that yesterday? I hadn't done so before.)
For anyone that gets worried about where they're at word count wise, I've been higher than 20,000 by the 15th only once over the past four years. The other three I hadn't even got to 16,000 and still finished each of those years.

ML duties again...
I may need to be more disciplined about writing every day this year. 10,000 word days aren't a good idea.

I will be there!! I will pay attention to what day of the week it is for the rest of the month so I don't miss it! Please come so I'm not sitting on the grass all alone (although never alone, cos I have my characters).

Me and Rochelle (Lady Talia) are having an epic writing weekend of doom but if we get to 15000 words (from the time we start on friday) we will come. That and if Rochelle is awake enough to drive us so we don't die on the way.

Umm.... so I said I'd be there this weekend but chances are that I won't be allowed to leave the house...
----------I will try! Really! But I have exams starting on Wednesday so the parentals might be all "No leaving! STUDY!" so we shall see. Also Jeshekah is sick! So she won't be there on Sunday... :(
Have funsies without me if I don't quite make it!
RAWR!!! Words... prepare to be written! Tina powah! :D

My dearest parents chose Sunday to announce that all NaNo activity, including writing, was banned until exams are over (not the nicest thought as my last exam is on 2nd December)... Hence I wasn't allowed to be there last weekend. :(
----------BUT
I am happy to announce that since then I have gotten them to allow me access to the laptop again so I can continue writing :) Fingers crossed I don't do terribly in my exams, because if I do... Uh-oh.
hehe Well. Hope everyone's novels are doing well! :)
Happy writing!
