York Region-ers!

luckymud — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:02:33 +0000

Calling all Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, King, Aurora, Newmarket, Stouffville, East Gwillimbury, and Georgina, including Thornhill, Unionville, Woodbridge, Kleinburg, Maple, Oak Ridges, King City, Nobleton, Schomberg, Ballantrae, Holland Landing, Queensville, Sharon, Mount Albert, Keswick, Sutton, and Pefferlaw! (*phew* I totally had to look at a map to get that all down.)

This is my first NaNo, and I can't wait to get started! I've only got a theme, no defined plot or character ideas, but I figure I'll let a sleep-deprived imagination take over and try to tie it all together in the end. No one has to read it, right? *grin*

I'm in Oak Ridges, myself. What about you guys? Anyone interested in a Richmond Hill / Aurora / Newmarket gathering?

Oakvillians and Almost Oakvillians

AmaiRose — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:08:39 +0000

So... I have to say.. I had a moment while "All the Small Things" was going, when I sat back and saw all of you guys there, having a good time and I thought.... Wow.. This is really what Nano is all about... bringing together these people who wouldn't ever have had their paths cross in a meaningful way before but who so clearly should be hanging out because together we are the awesome.

The Awesome.

L'Escale's Artsies!

Midnight Memories — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:37:10 +0000

Hello, fellow L'Escale NaNoers!

It is the time of the year again. The debut of October is upon us. It lurked around the corner until it finally sprung up and scared us all out of our wits. It is, after all, the time when we realize that the dreaded time of year is here. So, my dearest masochists, are you all ready to live yet another month of awesome literary prowess? Another sleepless thirty days? More write-ins? More “hell-this-was-fun-so-let’s-do-it-again-next-year-once-our-brains-have-returned-to-their-normal-states!”?

Then let’s go, everyone!

Most of you are still in high school, so you’ll have to keep me updated as to when I can lurk around the school at night and “get a flat tire and have to stay in” or something. I’ll have Jazzy ready too, in case someone’s parents get a case of the “I can’t drive you there!” or your Wii decides to be heavy that day...

... That’s pretty much all I had to say actually. Aside from that, I really hope to compete again this year! I also guiltily hope I get beaten when it comes to word count this year; getting ahead last year was way too easy. I’ll be in my post-midterm / pre-exam rush, anyways, so you all have a great chance at it.

Post ahead if you're planning on attacking a novel this year! Yay!

Take care + God bless!
Jue

Guelph Wrimos

Laura Rainbow Dragon — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:37:56 +0000

Hi all you Wrimos in the Royal City!

I'm participating again this year -- although I'm no longer in Guelph. I expect JCScott and others will be organizing Guelph events this year, and I'm looking for someone (or multiple someones) to take over administration of the Guelph Wrimos blog so you folks will still have that resource available to you.

If you're interested in administering the blog, please let me know. (If you're interested in trying but don't know how to do it, I can train you if you contact me soon enough.)

Barrie?

skbrewer — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:21:36 +0000

First time WriMo here. I just moved to Barrie from the states a few months ago, and I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there doing NaNo in Barrie.

Is there another region in the Ontario list that includes Barrie? I don't know Ontario that well yet, but it seemed like we're too far north for Durham or Toronto.

Barrie write-in?

MrUnknown — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:22:45 +0000

Anyone interested in setting up a small writers group/club? Could meet for NANOWRIMO or even after its finished and share our work and help our fellow novelists out.

Hit me up on msn sinners_fate@hotmail.com if anyone is interested in setting up something. Maybe at the Williams by the Bostons Pizza on Mapleview. I think its called Mapleview now.

Take care all and good luck.

Fred.

Cobourg/Port Hope?

small.little.reindeer — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:37:34 +0000

Hello!
Is there anyone here from the Northumberland County area? Cobourg, Port Hope, Grafton...maybe even Brighton? The Port Hope library seems like it would be a great place for a write-in, so I thought I'd see if there were any other nano-ers afoot.

DONATE! Do it NOW!

freethephoenix — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:38:58 +0000

I've taken it upon myself to harass the people lurking in this forum about donating. If you look at the score board it shows that nobody from Ontario Elsewhere has donated in 3 days. Only 3.4% have donated. And we haven't even donated $300! What the heck, guys? C'mon! We can do better than that! :) Get on Good search if you have to!
