National Novel Writing Month – update

25 writers turned up on Wednesday for the Brighton (and Hove actually) kick-off, that’s 10 up on our biggest meeting of the previous year. People loved it! We pulled three, then four, tables together, played NaNo Bingo, filled up our Panic Jar, and generally talked up a storm. We had goodie bags for the first time this year, and ALL the sweets got eaten before the end of the evening (I actually ran out of bags – I never imagined so many people would show up).

I made people swap places during the evening, which meant everybody got to speak to new WriMos and the returners shared wisdom and experience. We invented some new in-jokes to go with the rabbits and the tinfoil (don’t ask) and generally had a great time.

Photos, I took them so I’m not in them

Suddenly writing is fun again.

Word count – 6708
Fun quotient – 100%
Coffee – 1

    I am so envious. To get that many writers together in one place and then to actually get them to write something is amazing. I’ve never managed to make that happen here. Not to that extent.

    Have fun, Kay. It’s time for fun 🙂
