Yes. Do it. I've seen a lot of people (including one round here) who uses NaNo to write chapters of a book rather than just writing a whole story in 50,000 words.

I have been known to scribble things in the past - what would be involved with this?

apparantly writing "I am a fish" 12500 times then doing a dance & feinting isn't acceptable.

I thought it was a quite enjoyable book to read.

Right then, got my train tickets and my room at the Premier Inn booked (just waiting for the train tickets to come in the post).
I should be arriving in Leicester ~half past six on the Friday (and unfortunately have to hop on the train back to Stoke ~twenty past one on the Sunday).
So... yes, everything is sorted and I can't wait to see you all there.

Right, I'm only just getting into the game now. Anyone in/near Glasgow going down that we can nab a lift off? Or if there are people going by train, fancy syncing travel times?

I am staying on the Friday & Saturday and will be heading home on the Sunday. So hopefully there will be nocturnal shenanigans going on at the hotel.

Get your minds out of the gutter. I only mean we'll be having fun together. Playing games with each other.

Oh I give up. -.-

Awesome. And those of you who arrive early, there's various places we can eat that I can offer ideas for. I believe Archie is the first to arrive at half 2 or something? Either way, I'll be down near Premier for when the first people arrive to hang out with you guys and make sure people don't get lost in the very difficult route of 100m that you have to walk from the train station.

I have managed to get lost 20 metres from my front door, so yeah, a native guide to the strange land of Leicester would be a good idea. I think I still have your number somewhere too.

Sadly, looks like I won't be coming, much as I'd like to. My financial situation is still unstable, and I can't justify the cost.

I really hope I can go to the Nationals next March, and meet at least Cassie there, but it's my mum's 50th the day before, so that might take precedence :/

Hmm, the info page tells me there's not many Glasgow folks going down (well, besides myself Randman and Mwaow). Any chance Team Newcastle can give us a lift halfway? That'd be rad.

If my brother hadn't been over from Sweden to visit that weekend, I might have made it down, and I'd offered lifts down south, but since I can't make it, I can'toffer rides..
Sorry, guys.

Apparently Qwaz is actually unlikely to be attending. Me and Tasroth don't drive. Even if Qwaz is coming, his car is tiny.
