a break from 40forty

Hi there!

I'm Kat, and I'm here from the lovely not-snowy Olympic city itself. Don't you just love the irony?

I go to school; I take the bus; I geek out about politics; I geek out about musical theatre; I don't get enough sleep; I demonstrate that I love the English language with every semi-colon and literary device that I name. I also RP Harry Potter and Glee, because it's fun. I also procrastinate and harbour love for tea and chocolate and all things British.

This would appear to add up to "I am an odd child", but whatever.

My schedule jumps from place to place like anything, so the short form is that I'm basically out all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the rest just comes and goes as it will.

Anyway, I'm on AIM as sungonabraverday, and I look forward to meeting you!

Hey! I'm Keeks and I don't know any of you. But that's okay, I'm looking forward to getting to know you. I'm 22, I live in the rocky mountains and I hate it. Kidding. I hate the snow. I've done nanowrimo every year since 2006, but I've only won twice. I'm on AIM at keeleyknn or YIM as keeley_keenan and I can be reached most nights. During the days I'm usually at work, because, alas, I'm not an award winning novelist yet.

Anyway, hit me up anytime, I love meeting new people!

Hi there! I'm Alex and know some of you already. I'm 19, Australian and an all round geek. I've been writing since 2003 (mostly fanfiction) and roleplaying seriously since Sep 2008. I've done Nano a few times but never have won *cries* but hopefully I can do something this year. I won rpwrimo last year so hopefully this won't be that hard... right?

You can find me on AIM the most at moonsdreaming but I also have YIM/MSN/Gtalk if preferred. Email is bookworm1987@gmail.com

A lot of my writing has disappeared with my old webhost disappearing/laptop dying but I still have some around the place. I'm slowly posting it at arevolvingworld.

So yeah, thats me in a nutshell.

Even though this community is empty and I feel like a bit of a tosser for posting when there's nobody out there, I can't bear the thought of this place opening and being all NUDE and NAKED LIKE. It needs a post in here!

So here it is.

Some people know me as Effy, some as Rena, so I will respond to either. I'm 25, I work in a bookshop and I am doing a Medical Secretary course. What I really want to do is write, but I am all too aware of my own procrastination and frankly, I need to at least pretend to have a real job before I hit the big time as a super-mega-foxy-awesome author.

For now, I sell shitty chick lit to people who think they like to read, but they're really full of generic fluff. Ooh I just went all bitter then, like sucking a lemon!

I made this community because I want the sort of drive and determination I had while doing NaNoWriMo - this year I actually reached the 50k, and it was such an amazing feeling! If I write 40440 words now, I'll have most of my novel done. That is, of course, if I write my novel here... I'll probably mix it up, throw in a bit of rp/drabbles and original fiction to keep me interested.

Anyway, I love to chat, so add me on AIM as trixytonks if you'd like to! I can't wait to meet all of you... at least, I hope people join. Otherwise this is one fucker of a lonely post.
