Four days in, and so far so good! As predicted, there has been an initial surge of activity as ideas and inspiration abound. I really want to get back to working on my wordcount just now, so this is just a quick update to share some news.
As part of this year's NaNoWriMo, my co-ML (Stu) and myself arranged for a Kicking Off Party to celebrate the start of this year's challenge. In hindsight, Hallowe'en perhaps was not the best choice of days to host it, but the party was held on Sunday 31st October a mere few hours before the frantic scratch and scribble of writing began. The location we chose was a local Caffe Nero shop, with staff who were both enthusiastic and accomodating, and who had an ideal space for us to use in a tucked away corner upstairs. And what a brilliant location it turned out to be. And the turnout was amazing - guests even included a journalist and photographer from the Essex Chronicle newspaper! And today, the article came out.
This screenshot was taken of the online story, but it's been printed in today's paper, too! We all had a fabulous time, and I'd just like to thank Caffe Nero for letting us use their premises for a few hours!
