I buddies you. I'm "A M Jenner" over there. Heart Writer is "Anne Marie Jenner".

and if you go over to my website and click on the nanowrimo page, there's a buncha AQ people listed there, by their "real" AQ trailnames, who are doing nano. a good place to find inspiration...or desperation...

Feel free to add me to the page. Is there a way to find those folks on nano from there?

it's a really good suggestion. for right now, their AQ name is above the widget. their nano name is on the widget. you could look at the nano name and go look them up.

most of my buddies at nano are also friends at AQ...but there's no way from that end to tell who is who...

I could make links to their nano profiles...hmmm...
I'll have to work on that after I get school and homework done for today.

romana, (trying to be as responsive about her site as GT is with his)

Ah, I think I'm getting loopy (no sleep yet)--I didn't see that. Good enough.

It is taking forever for www.nanowrimo.org to load. Is it always that slow?

the competitors always overstress the site on nov 1...and crash it. they apparently don't have web gurus like Ryan who build a site that can't be crashed be a gazillion users at once. (which is how plant a letterbox day got started...it was originally "everybody list a letterbox at once and try to crash AQ day".

ooo! sparklies!

sorry. I get these mental aberrations during November. where was I? oh yes, the nano site. it almost always crashes on November 1 because everyone's trying to access it at once.
if you're not yet signed up, I would recommend this: go ahead and start on your novel. get on the site tomorrow, or more likely, on Wednesday, and sign up. it's still legal to start your novel now that it's the first. it will all count. it's just that the first couple of days on your widget will look like you didn't write anything, since you couldn't claim words until after you signed up.

am I rambling or making sense? I hope I'm making sense.

too bad I can't slide everything I write into my novel...I'll be doing a lot of writing for school.

A gazillion users would probably crash AQ if they tried to login at the same time. Fortunately, AQ doesn't have a gazillion members to worry about that problem. *whew*

Apparently, inspiration or no, I'm going to be participating this year. Due to work schedules and such, I got called to help lead a write in today. (The mother of one of our ML's passed away. If you are so inclined, please pray for him.)

And if the girls keep pestering me, I'll end up with bruises. It might be safer just to write.

Think I can be ready in three hours? I'm only 9372 words behind. :/ Fingers crossed!
