Wrimos, I can’t seem to get the blog’s photo uploading thing to work, so here’s a link directly to the Flickr set with this year’s pictures.
It’s been a blast, and a pleasure writing with you all. See you next year, or earlier if you drop by Writer House. Now go edit those manuscripts!
Congratulations to everyone in the Cville region, whether you finished or not. Our region collectively wrote more than 4.5 million words!
Galley Cat has posted these 30 Tips for NaNoWrimo, so file them away for next year. Or just check this blog in October 2011.
Get some rest, and then start editing!
Wrimos! NaNoWriMo is OVER!
The Thank Goodness It’s Over party is Sunday, December 5th @ 6pm at Writer House (508 Dale Ave)!
Please bring:
1. A printed paragraph from somewhere in your novel, unlabeled (so we can play a ‘guess the writer’ game)*
2. Something edible to share for the potluck!
Hooray, we’re finished! Lots of winners in Cville this year, but even if you didn’t win, come join in the fun, all writers welcome.
Thanks for the ride, Cville wrimos! You’re the best!
The Great Potluck List!
1. Nica’s bringing: roti bread and potato curry.
2. Sophia’s bringing: whatever we end up needing (deviled eggs, soda, chips n’ dip).
3. Rachel’s bringing: mac n’ cheese.
4. Chris & Abby are bringing: some kind of tasty sandwich.
5. Bonnie is bringing: a veggie option and CAKE!
6. Claire is bringing: baked beans.
7. Michelle is bringing: potato or cornbread casserole.
* If you really really don’t want to bring an excerpt, that’s okay, but seriously, it’s fun!
Get ready, Charlottesville! NaNoWriMo is almost over!
If you’re here right now, Louise is nobly hosting a write-in at Writer House right this minute (11:54am as I write this) – check twitter to see if she’s still there!
If you’re still wrapped up in Thanksgiving-related plans or travel, we’ll see you at the final write-in:
Tuesday, November 30th
@ Writer House (508 Dale Ave, Charlottesville VA)
6pm to MIDNIGHT
Come gloat over your finished novel, write along even if you don’t think you have a prayer of winning, or just come partake in the excitement of a race against time. If you need a hand uploading your final word-count for validation, Sophia will be standing by to make sure everybody gets validated – and the shiny purple bar and official NaNo ‘winners goodies’ that come with it!
Sorry, guys. Since only 2 people responded about a write-in today, I’m not planning to drive downtown to open up WH this afternoon. There are WH open hours Saturday and Sunday 2-5pm, and I think Louise is coming back on Sunday and might be there for some word war action. Keep your ears out for updates.
Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. The next scheduled write-in is the final push on Tuesday. We’ll stay until midnight if anybody is still finishing.
