And now my coworkers all think I’m pregnant. Ah the joys of planning for November. The strange looks (why is reading a baby names book so odd?), the awkward questions (how indeed would a dog ring a cash register?), and most importantly, the panicky look that writers start to get as they realise November is now only two weeks (count em, 14 days) away. Whoa. Where’s my paper bag…
Wrimos all over the state are getting set for November. Mini-meetups are happening right in your area, so keep your eyes on the forums! If you are in the Erie part of the state, there is going to be a kick-off party at the Borders in the Millcreek Mall (the stand-alone store, not the one inside the mall) at 1pm. The wrimos there are chomping at the bit to start writing, and their enthusiasm is awesome!
So far there has been no vote on the regional mascot, so at the moment we are going to be known as the PA Rocks. Go here to suggest a more impressive mascot, though I am rather fond of the rock. It is solid and strong, unwavering in the face of compressive forces. Rocks can be many things, and boring is not one of them.
Hopefully everything is going well with your novel planning. Look for the email from your wonderful MLs detailing how we’re going to work November with such a large state to cover. Ciao for now!

I read the newbie page; really good info! However, how am I supposed to hide my inner editor, when I’m an editor by day? lol.
Thanks.
