Cast & Crew
- Luke LaRocque as Dale: A veteran of NaNoWriMo. Dale is having troubles with getting into the spirit of NaNoWriMo, and is hiding this from his friends.
- Manda Whitney as Val: The Municipal Liaison. Val has been the ML of the region for the last four years and all she wants to do is write, but never has the time to because of stress over being an ML.
- Blythe Haynes as Jill: Dale's Love Interest. Jill is new to NaNoWriMo and has a huge crush on Dale. She is plays improv ukulele, is a bit quirky and quite geeky, and flirts with Dale any chance she can.
- Errol Elumir as Rick: Dale's spazzy friend. Rick likes the funs. He never writes during NaNoWriMo but he does draw webcomics about their escapades during Nanowrimo. He has more energy than either Dale or Val can handle.
