NaNoWriMo Write-In
(AKA "Sheesh, I'm full of pictures lately!")
Even though this is my 4th year of NaNo, I attended my first ever write-in last night. It was fun! I don't have a laptop so I printed out my first 3700 words and brought some paper and a pencil. About 12 other crazy NaNo'ers showed up as seen above. Some writing was done but the best part was the chatting. It is so nice to finally feel a bit more "normal" about attempting a 50,000 word book in one month. No one expects greatness, they are all just having fun writing. Like me.
This is Lee and me. She's our municipal liaison (fancy term for the person who gives us NaNo goodies, monitors the Maryland forum, and tells us where to go, hehe). She's adorably 6 months pregnant and has 3 year old boy/girl twins. Another participant has 5 year old identical twin boys so we could have started a mini twins group right there.
Anyway I'm not sure how many words I actually wrote last night, I still need to type them into my NaNo Word file. I even crossed out a few, eek! (a big NaNo no-no, you're suppose to keep your inner editor under lock and key this month) Well it was more like I rewrote a couple of paragraphs so I doubt it'll effect my word count in the end (and it made the story flow better). I'm off to type now, I hope to break the 1/10th (5,000 words) barrier today!
