For those who want to track words outside of November, one of our local writers put this spreadsheet together. You can copy or download this from Google Docs

Be sure to RSVP for the TGIO party, to be held Saturday Dec. 3rd. See the thread at http://nanowrimo.org/forums/usa-texas-austin/threads/403380 for more details!

Don't miss the Austin-region kickoff party on October 31, 10pm–1:30am, with Disaster Preparedness: What You Need to Survive NaNoWriMo. You can register for door prizes, hear a panel of NaNoWriMo "winners" share tips for success, and show off your Halloween costume.

At the stroke of midnight, start your 2016 novel with a write-in until 1:30am (or as long as you’re awake enough to drive home). Don’t forget to charge your laptop or tablet before the event.

Coffee will be provided (hallelujah!). Party food is potluck and optional; no hot food or alcohol, please. Good options are veggie/fruit/meat/cheese trays, cookies, chips, and soft drinks.

Location: Dragon's Lair Comics & Fantasy, West Anderson Plaza
2438 West Anderson Lane #B1, Austin
