2009 Pre-Nanowrimo Meetup!
Saturday, I was lucky enough to go to a Pre-Nanowrimo Meetup! If you ever get a chance to go to any of the Meetups for Nanowrimo, I really suggest it. Besides being fun, it’s a great way to brainstorm and motivate yourself for the month of November. We met in a coffee shop and talked about what we’d like to do for Nano, whether or not we had a plot in mind, and what (or if) we had done anything to prepare for the looming month ahead.
One lady was nice enough to bring homebaked goods (she got the coffee shop’s permission). Our Municipal Liason was there, as well as several other Nano aspiring writers. One woman talked about an interesting conversation she had on a plane which could be novel fodder. Another one mused on the mysterious “Dream man” that there are several websites about.
Due to the mysterious nature of this man appearing in people’s dreams throughout the world, we chatted a bit about how that might be an interesting novel plot. And thus, the “Nanowrimo secret sign was born.

as we perfect the Secret sign of the Unibrow.
Our “nicest Wrimo” has this pretty much mastered.
Another Wrimo shows her approval.
And lastly, a Wrimo is never complete without a lovely, fashionable hat.
Sadly, I am still without outline or definite plot for next month (less than 2 weeks- Augh!), but the meeting definitely gave me some very useful novelling ideas. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get some orange juice to fight this cold. I don’t want to be sick while I’m cranking out my Great American Novel.
Keep writing!
