The Night of Writing Dangerously!!

So I was able to save up enough money to go to The Night of Writing Dangerously! It was AWESOME!! My mother and I had a blast. This calls for pictures!





There were a ton of people there! I was so happy that I got to meet a ton of them while I was there. Everyone, OLL staff and regular Wrimos included, were super nice and really seemed like great people.









I'm happy that I got to sit at a table full of some wonderful people too. Our table seriously had it going on. Two people won prizes for being top fundraisers, one won a raffle, and yours truly won the costume contest! And a word war! Even though that was by default for being the only hand writer at the time... I still count it though! Lol!





By the way, did you notice all the people in that first picture walking around with crowns on? You got one of those after you reached 50k and rang the bell as two of my table members did together!









We also got to listen to a lot of good speeches as well from people like Chris Baty himself, the man that started NaNoWriMo! He's actually leaving his job at the OLL to write full time. Good luck, Chris!




Anyways, I had a blast and I thank all of the staff members for putting on such an awesome event. These are some seriously awesome people, (glad to say that one of them is even my Municipal Liaison! :D ), and I applaud you all.




And thank YOU GUYS, all of you reading this, for donating and spreading the word around on my behalf. I really appreciate it. I'm so excited about this that I've even started to plan for next year. Ha! Who's coming with me!? Lol.



Thanks again guys. Go finish those novels while I work on mine and I'll see you next time!

  1. That is so awesome! Where was this?

    And we both know it takes FOREVER to get through works these long in group, so if you ever want to send what you've written this year my way, I'd be happy to take a look. :D

  2. San Francisco! It was great.

    Truth be told, I only got to 30k this year so I'm nowhere close to finished yet. But I'll take you up on that when it becomes something readable! Lol.
