3 days and counting...

My dear Rhinos...

Did you see how many of you there are already ?

My gosh... I am impressed.

I hope you're finding your way around the site and having some good meeting conversations in the forums. If you haven't met Joshua Conkel yet, you should know that he is your forums moderator rhino extraordinaire and I am so grateful to have his help this year to replace the illustrious Dan Trujillo who did a fantastic job last year.

If you're curious about who all is participating in our 2008 edition, our genius webmaster rhino took care of it and created a fancy participants page: check it out!

I have a whole slew  of cool things in store for you this year...

For your daily reading, be sure to head over to the Naplwrimo aggregator, which is just a fancy word for our best selection of theatre blogs, theatre news blogs and 2008 Naplwrimo Participants blogs. I know you don't need the procrastination but hey.. you never know... these blogs might help you come up with that first line you needed to start !

As we get closer to November 1st, I hope you are dreaming and scheming about your play. If there is a play you never wanted to write or that you are scared of writing, I suggest you do that one. This is why I 've decided I am going to write a solo show. I am terrified ! Aren't solo shows terribly masturbatory and boring most of the time ? YES !!! But mine will be different, right ?! Because I'll write it so fast, i won't even have time to judge it before I write it...  A 75 page solo show ? I AM INSANE. Oh but you already knew that, riiiight.

Oh one more thing, in case you haven't noticed, you can stick NaPlWriMo in your news or rss feeds. Easy as pie : click on the little orange sign below the word SYNDICATE, there in the right side bar. If you don't have a news reader, my personal favorite is Google Reader. ( Damn,  I am not even getting paid to say this !).

I'll be back soon to declare the opening of Naplwrimo 2008. I am trepidating !!!

What does your favorite coffee cup say ? Mine is from the Twin Peaks Diner in Washington. "Damn fine cup of coffee" they say...
