NaNoWriMo :: NaNoWriMo Blog

I really wish I could afford the NaNoWriMo sweatshirt. I've had the same sweatshirt since fifth grade, almost four years now. I love that sweater, I really do.
The NaNo logo one is really cool too. But I wish I could get that sweatshirt!

I can't wait to buy one of these! They look beautiful!

I gotta love the new merch in store for the 2009 season of NaNoWriMo. The hoodie and the camp nanowrimo shirt is inspiring me in ways that you will see on december 1st. (if there is any snow!). I am definitely buying this year!

Happily anticipating,

I approve of "idyllic" ... Been using that word in the description of the Bay Area Writers Retreat (sans punctuation) for a couple of years now. Nobody's complained about punctuation so far, but copious amounts of bacon and wine will take almost anyone's mind off of such trivia.

Gah, I want one of everything :(
A hoodie will definitely be on its way to me when they come out, November is far too cold for novelling in just a T shirt and jeans :3

HA! you wouldn't believe the debate my writing group got into about that ' . I decided to make a logo for us and the group argued for an hour about that instead of design ideas.

Okay, Mister Baty, it's been "around September 1" for three days now. My constant refreshing has not resulted in an updated store, blog, or breaking news section. Am I going to have to drive out to California to get my shirts?

(I hope not, because I don't have enough gas money for that)

AWESOME Shirts and I'm thrilled to see there's going to be a hoodie! Great designs guys :)

OH MY GOSH I can't wait to buy one!!!

I'm so excited about the options this year! I have a feeling I'll be getting a big package from OLL...love that cranberry color!

This is too cool to stand! I want one of each & can't wait for them to go on sale! Now what are the cups/mugs going to look like? ;)

I WANT ONE OF EACH! Eeeee!

*starts saving her pennies now*

Ooooooh, shiny!! Can't wait to add these to my wardrobe. Roll on November!!!!

I love it!

On the "writer's retreat" vs. "writers' retreat" vs. "writers retreat" spelling...I've been lucky enough to go attend the Maui Writers Retreat in the past and they spell it without the apostrophe, a la this shirt. (As do, in a quick search, several other established retreats). But then other places go with the "writer's retreat" or "writers' retreat." Funny that an activity so integral to writing could be so indecisive about where to stick its apostrophe.

Do those words all count for my November novel?

OOohhhh time to start saving my pennies! I want some chinchilla love too!

They look great! I love the support NaNo shirts--those are a fantastic idea! And I really, really want the sweatshirt!(:(:

I absolutely cannot wait for these to go on sale in the store. I am totally getting one of the white shirts, a black regular shirt, the Camp shirt, and a hoodie. I am so excited that they finally did a hoodie this year and all of the shirts look amazing. I better start saving my money now.

OMG I just love them. Lat year was my first year and I did not pick up in time I can't wait love the sweatshirt. You guys rock !!!!!!!

And have you ever thought of having a contest for Nano participants to design a t-shirt? I think that would be awesome!

Cool! I want one of the black ones! :D

And I'm eagerly awaiting the new mugs. ;)

I sooooo can't wait for November 1!

Ohhhh - me wants 'em all!!!!!

Yay! Great shirt designs. I really like this year's logo. CanNOT wait till November!!!!

I *love* the hoodie. Hopefully by November I'll have the money to afford one! I can't wait!

First, I do think the shirts look great, and I can't wait to get me one of those hoodies. :)

But the "Camp NaNoWriMo" shirts worried me a little.

The slogan on the sign (hard to make out here) reads: "An idyllic writers retreat, smack-dab in the middle of your crazy life."

Please tell me there's an apostrophe after "writers". Or is there really now a shirt about novel writing with a big spelling error on it?

Although I guess it's not a retreat for idyllic writers. The retreat itself is idyllic. Should it be idyllic writer's retreat, then? I'm confoozed! But I think there needs to be an apostrophe there somewhere, even if I'm not quite sure where. :(

You guys are amazing... upping the ante every year. I'm so ordering one of everything.

I really love the design this year! I will be doing some shopping soon....

ooooh! I'm definitely going to get a tee-shirt this year and I am sooooo asking for one of those sweatshirts for Christmas!

Yay! This is such exciting news! I'm definitely getting at least the hoodie and the camp shirt. Can't wait for October when the site opens!!!

Eeee they all look fantastic! I'll be buying one of each :D

I LOVE the camp shirt. I hope you'll have some available in the larger sizes. I want one!

Can't wait until November!

Oh why did I even read this post? I swear I've never been this excited for a NaNoWriMo E-V-E-R, and this is just like dangling a cure for sleep (that I will need) in front of my face. Words cannot express my anxiousness.

awesome!
the camp, the white one and the hoodie all look amazing! I want them all!

Thanks, guys! We're excited too! I wore my hoodie all day today even though it was way too warm to be wearing it and I looked like an idiot. I was secretly hoping someone would stop me and say: "Wait, there's no such thing as a NaNoWriMo hoodie!"

And then I could have done a bunch of crazy dance moves and finale'd with a moonwalking backflip that rakishly slid the hood over my head. And then I would have smiled at them and said: "There is now, baby!"

But sometimes the day you dream of and the day you get are two different things.

I did eat a nice tamale this afternoon while wearing my hoodie. So that's something.

We're hoping to have the new shirts and sweatshirt in the store around September 1.

They look great!

I'm in love! I want the shirt in black and the white shirt as well as the sweatshirt! I can't wait until they are available. :D

YAY!!!! I'm so with sushi on that one, this Georgian is definitely gonna need a sweatshirt!

Those shirts look just amzing, and that looks like an awesome shop to just poke around in.

I can't wait for NaNoWriMo this year, and I'll definately be getting one of those sweatshrits! They look awesome (and sound really comfy too!).

I can't wait! I'm seriously thinking about breaking into my Christmas money from last year to buy that sweatshirt... :]

So awesome. When will these be available for purchase?

Hoodiessssss! I better start saving!

The tour looks exciting, the shirts look great, and I can't wait for a NaNo sweatshirt! Don't listen to the naysayers--it does get cold in Georgia in November, and I can't wear a NaNo shirt every day. :)
