GoodSearch

TSEdiot — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:22:47 -0700

There is a note about this on the page about donating when broke, but I wanted to let everyone here know about the partnership with goodsearch.com

When you go to the website and put in Office of Letters and Light as your charity, every search you do will donate $.01 to NaNoWriMo and ScriptFrenzy. Think about how many searches you do a day - 10? 20? I probably do about 50, which means in a month I can earn the OLL $15. You can even install goodsearch to most browsers and search from the bar. Awesome, right?

Need to do some research? Use goodsearch for all of your research queries this month. Then you're researching for your novel *and* paying for the ability to do this next year. Sweet!

Even if you just switch for November, it'll make a big difference to the event!

Happy Novelling!

katzendragonz — Wed, 8 Oct 2008 07:53:26 -0700

Hi to all the folks on the northest (Yeah I know that really isn't a word) north end of our county!

Henry Tippe has generously agreed to host our Friday Night Write-Ins. Thanks Henry!

They will be held at the Starbucks/Baskin Robins/Yogurtland in Fullerton at Chapman and State College and start at 5:00 pm. Come on out and enjoy a night of writing and treats!

Thursday night Write-Ins are scheduled for the Old Towne Orange area so if you can't make Friday nights come on down and see us on Thursdays. Just check the calendar for times and locations.

Welcome Everyone to NaNoWriMo 2008!

katzendragonz — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 08:33:00 -0700

I'm Katz, your ML for the North Orange County Region!

I can't believe it's October already! Time to stir up those imaginations, dust off your lap top and brew up a ton of coffee. November first will be here before we know it!

As you've noticed our old OC region split this year into two separate regions: North Orange County and South Orange County. Every one is welcome in both regions if you so desire. The idea is that our county has gotten so large and traffic so nasty that it will be easier for your ML's to coordinate events and assist NaNo-ites in their own areas.

I'll be covering the North Orange County Region. (I'm sorry but I haven't heard who will be watching over the South County this year.) I live in Old Towne Orange, so to start, events will center there. Please let me know what towns you live in and possible sites available in your area for write-ins and gatherings. I'd like to scatter them around as much as possible.

Please put your thinking caps on and roll out those suggestions for gatherings, write-ins and parties!

Our first activity on this year's calendar is, of course, our Kick Off Gathering. It's scheduled for Sunday afternoon October 26th at 1:30 pm in The Plaza in Old Towne Orange at the intersection of Chapman and Glassell. More to come on it later!

That's all for now!

Please feel free to e-mail me or post your thoughts, suggestions and questions at any time. I'll be in this site several times a day from now until December so I will get back to you ASAP.

Pre-Nano Brainstorm Meeting

katzendragonz — Tue, 7 Oct 2008 06:47:02 -0700

You asked for it . . . You got it!

Our Pre-Nano Brainstorm Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 23rd at 7:00 pm. It is on our official calendar!

I haven't decided on a location just yet. I need to check out a couple of possibilities first.

This meeting will be just to bounce around ideas, ~ No Writing Yet! ~ talk about possible plot difficutlies, plan strategies for dealing with Nano blues and frustrations ~ maybe even bounce around ideas for Write Ins and gatherings.

Please give a shout out here if you plan to attend. The number expected will have a bearing on where we meet.

See you then.

Novel Planning Meeting?

katzendragonz — Sun, 5 Oct 2008 06:57:02 -0700

Hi All!

Jobeck suggested having a planning meeting before November 1st, just to talk out plots, plans and possible bumps in the novel writing road. No actual writing yet! Just talking and getting ideas and help from each other.

If enough people are interested, we can do that!

Please let me know your avaliability and your city. We'll schedule it to benefit the most people.

I'm available late afternoons, most evenings and weekends. If you have suggestions for meeting locations, please let me know.
