I will be here. I don’t know what I’ll be working on, but if nothing else, I can be the cheering section!
See you then!

Shake those pom-poms!

Count me in for the 17th! 😀 I’ve done NOTHING on my Camp Nanowrimo book, and I need to get my butt in gear if I want to catch up. 😉

Looks like I can make it tomorrow Milli, and will only be able to do a short one on Saturday because of work. Bit nervous about this, but excited as well!

Sorry! That went on the wrong reply and I can’t figure out how to delete it! It’s been a long day!
Twitter: fearofwriting
No worries, Jo. Posting on the wrong thread will simply introduce you to Lois, one of our 10K Day veterans. I know Lois won’t mind at all. 🙂
That’s good news that you can make it tomorrow. And some nerves are understandable the first time – we’ve all had those. But you’ll find the company reassuring. See you then!
~ Milli
I’m here, albeit pretty late. I got up late (Jeff’s working nights this week), and I had to do a few things first. But now that I’m here, I can begin! 😀

Hi Milli
Don’t think I can make the 17th, should be able to make the 20th provided nothing comes up!
Looking forward to it!

Hi Jo,
Hope you can still make it for the 20th. We’ll warm it up for you tomorrow. 🙂
~ Milli
Yay! Count me in.
I’m aiming for both August 17th and 20th, but in case it doesn’t work out, either one of these will be fine too – I really need the commitment to a full day of writing right about now! 🙂
Twitter: fearofwriting
Yay! Estrella, excited to have you join us. Hope you can make it for both, but as you say, either one is great.
~ Milli
Thanks for this initiative! Estrella Azul introduced me to this blog! I love it! I missed last month but I want to try this one! I think I’ll go for the 17th because I’m off!

Hi Franny,
Pleased to hear Estrella introduced you to us. (Thanks, Estrella. :)) We’ll have your “seat” ready for you tomorrow for some good, juicy writing time on your day off.

Taryn,
See you tomorrow with pretzel body-twists and monkeys on caffeine. 😉
~ Milli
I am in for the 17th as well!!
The only other thing I’ll have to do is to pack, as we’ll be leaving for a week in Switzerland the next day… So I’ll hope I’ll get lots of writing done this time!! Yay!

Armelle,
You sound like a travelin’ soul. We always seem to catch you on an outbound journey. LOL!
See you ’round these parts tomorrow.
~ Milli
Thanks Milli!! And yeah, I like traveling… Wish I could do a lot more of it!!
And tomorrow, I will travel in writing…

I am planning for both but definitely ready for August 17th. I have a self imposed deadline that I refuse to miss!
Twitter: danapittman
This is exactly why I should be in bed. LOL! I was adding to my calendar when realized….hey that day passed. ROFL!

Dana,
C U at the 10K Day for one or both!

I’m going to give this a try! It looks like fun!

Hi JB,
I’m thrilled you think this sounds like fun (it is!). You didn’t mention which date you plan to join us, but you’re welcome to show up on either/both the 17th or the 20th.
C U then!

I’ll participate on Wed 17th. I’m not sure what I’ll work on yet, but I’ll think of something.

Hi Christy,
See you tomorrow!
~ Milli
Hi, I just found this site and the 10K day really sounds fun 😀 I should have time on the 20th, can I join if I’m in a different time zone?
Twitter: fearofwriting
Welcome, Lisa! Glad you found us.
Yes, absolutely, we often have writers from different parts of the world participating. The check-in page will be available to you on the 20th no matter what time zone you live in. We’ll be pleased to have you join us. 🙂
~ Milli
Good morning all!
Looks like there are lots of new people this time ’round. Very cool! 🙂 I’m looking forward to hanging out with everyone.
I plan to participate today and Saturday, if all goes well, though neither will be on a full-day basis. It’s the first of the school year and I have tons of paperwork to take care of for my son’s school as well as insurance and docs. yay 😉
What will I work on? I have a blog post to draft (already have the pics picked out) and I’d like to continue working on my Camp NaNo story. So there’s plenty to do. Hope everyone has a good time and write on!

*Starting the day with a cup of cappuccino, the sound of a fan spinning and surrounded by the cats. (yes, I’m a crazy cat lady 🙂 ) I will be using my timer as well to help keep me focused.
Time for the first break to take the kid to school. I’ve gotten a blog post drafted and will finalize it when I get back.
Hmmm, what should I have for breakfast?

Hi Maria!
Terrific updates so far. 🙂
This is actually the RSVP page, and I would hate for you to be alone all day. If you go to the Home page you’ll see the “Live While It’s Happening” post. You can copy and paste your updates onto that page and then you’ll be in the fray with everybody else.
~ Milli
Thanks Milli. I always seem to screw that up. Silly me! 🙂
