Ooo yes. Maybe one of those sorrypunk novels — steam and clocks and transistors do not exist; instead advanced apologetic technology powers every aspect of people’s sorry lives.
PLEASE NOTE - SIGN UP FOR THIS YEAR’S NIAD HAS CLOSED – THIS IS TO ALLOW TIME TO GET ALL THE DOCUMENTS TOGETHER. IF YOU’VE TAKEN PART BEFORE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE AN EXCEPTION AND SQUEEZE IN A SMALL NUMBER MORE IF YOU ARE QUICK.
Typically, here I am wandering along late in the day!
I’d have loved to take part but have hesitated far too long - I’m lighting a play that opens on Saturday evening so was unsure until this week whether I’d have lots of last-minute stuff to fix for it on Saturday! In fact I don’t think I will have but I couldn’t have known that until last night… All the best to those participating though, especially any for the first time. Have fun!
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of Niad9’s participants, a happy fun-filled, intellectually challenging, Niad 9 day, full of demanding, but rewarding literary endeavour, and achievement.
Take care and enjoy!!
Vic
I was calmly going about my business when it suddenly HIT ME! It’s tomorrow! Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!
Dealing now with the traditional feeling of “I forgotted how to cause the writing appear” and associated feelings of vague nausea, excitement, panic and elation. I can’t believe I return each year for more of this!
Counting down and freaking out! I can’t remember the exact time in my time zone. I think I still have three hours though.
EDIT: checks countdown timer Oh! nearly 5 hours. Whew.
