I think I'm crazy... (NaNoWriMo post)

[gategrrl]

No, I don't think I'm crazy for participating a third time in NaNoWriMo (I've got this tidy little horror story idea that I'm working on).

No, I just sent an email to the Municipal Liaiason coordinator for NaNoWriMo.  For my area. There doesn't seem to be anyone local for my area. And I stopped in at my local library to see if they might be interested in sponsoring for it this year - either donating Write-In space for a few hours on a weekend, or at night.  I may swing by the local Barnes and Noble as well, for a once a week evening Write-In, also. I've never been able to go to one of these things, because usually, they've been on nights I couldn't make it, or in locations that wouldn't really make sense for me to get to, time-wise.   

Yep, last year bought the t-shirt. (really. I did)  This year, I'll see if I can do more.

The past couple of years were tough, since my kids were smaller and the Guy had to work more weekends, or was burned out from work. And it didn't help that the times and places scheduled by the LA coordinator were never at times and places that were very good for me.

If I do get selected (I don't know how selective they are!) there should be two or three other folks in the general area, which is huge. If I were a ML, I'd probably designate certain places and times as Perpetual Write-In locations, for evening and daytime hours. And encourage more people to go ahead and plan (which, to the ML's credit, she did encourage people to do).

Cool. :-) I hope you get selected. :-)
