I've been excited about this year's NaNoWriMo since the last one ended.
Yesterday was October 1, 2010, the official NaNoWriMo 2010 Preseason. In celebration, I wore my NaNo shirt from last year to work, then I took a picture of myself wearing it under my lab coat. :D
At the end of NaNo 2009, I decided that I wanted to volunteer as a Municipal Liaison (ML) because I had so much fun and met so many people that I wanted to share my experience with others and help them have a great time like I did!
This year, the first step of my goal has been completed. I am now the ML for Houston for 2010. I'm going to try my best and if things go well, I see myself doing this for years to come. Houston is such a big city and I have a lot of people that are more than willing to help, and I'm grateful for that. Otherwise, I might become overwhelmed. Even though we're one of the largest cities in the United States, we haven't done well on the donation front or the word count front (especially when it comes to average word counts). I'm hoping to lead Houston on an upward trend and set goals for word counts, word count averages, and also raise our donation amount. Last year we donated a little over $4000 as a city. I think we can do a lot better than that!
I'll be posting as things happen and I'm hoping to keep my blog going a lot better this year. I want to chronicle my journey as a first-year ML (hopefully I don't pull my hair out in the process)!
