NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

Hello Wrimos,

In order to avoid electrical fires and spontaneous electrocutions at NaNoWriMo’s Night of Writing Dangerously Write-a-thon, we need some advice from an electrician! We would like to provide power to 200 laptops, two projectors, and a small sound system for six hours.

Hi there,

I wanted to let you know that there is a brave man by the name of Mark Putnam who is currently writing a semi-collaborative 100,000-word novel based on a plot/character poll he posted up on his blog. Because it was difficult for him---as it is for many of us--to decide what his novel was going to be about, he asked other people to decide for him. Two-hundred and six people completed this poll in April, and he is already 25% finished with his novel.

It’s Tavia. If you were lucky/unlucky enough (that’s for you to decide, and for me to never find out) to listen to my first attempt at WrimoRadio, you might remember my Big Fun Scary Adventure to submit work to 20 magazines and contests by the end of 2007. Well, I am a bit behind, but I am ready to start submitting. My plan is to wallpaper my entire bathroom with rejection letters by the end of the year, so I figure I better start sending my work out pronto.

Hello Writers!

Wouldn't it be cool if a Wrimo won this contest:

You can win 5000 big ones and a book contract. You already have the book written, so all you have to do is send it on in!

Attention Bay Area NaNoWriMo participants!

We need two more cosmically awesome people to come in and help us pack next Wednesday evening (October 4) from 6-9! The site launches in less than three days and that means an avalanche of orders and work. We need help shipping ML packages, Young Writers Program gifts, merchandise orders, and donor goodies.

Greetings from our new and glorious office! My name is Tavia Stewart and I am the luckiest person alive in that I get to introduce myself to you as the first full-time employee at the Office of Letters and Light. This first week as Managing Editor has been the best first week at an office job ever! I mean it. I hate to even call it an office job, so from now on I will call it a creative-think-tank-of-wonder job.
