Hello all!
Karl and I are getting ready to start typing! Can't wait!
We are wondering how many of us Wrimo's are up in the "north"? Any body out there in Nanoland from Wake Forest or North Raleigh???
We know UKDebby is here. Are there others who may want a mid week meetup? Or meetup on the weekend???

Thanks,
Terri

I work in North Raleigh, just off of Capital, and I would consider going to a write-in after work on some nights. Just depends on how great of a day I have...>.>

Hello Lynoir, nice to meet you!
We are thinking Tuesday or Thursday evening. Either of those better for you?

I'm in Wake Forest, and I'd love someone to kick my butt into gear... erm... I mean, provide companionship and support so that I actually finish this year. Tuesday is better for me, but Thursday is not out of the question.

Great to hear from you Katey!
Tuesday sounds fine to us as well. We will get some dates on Rai Yan's calendar soon.
We'll dig the old "butt kicker" out of the garage and bring it with us.....

Hi - I'm a newbie to full length novels. I might be interested in an occasional meeting on Tues. evenings. I say occasional because the evening is when I do most of my writing, and I don't want to fall behind!

Hi Bill,
Great to meet you.
We actually spend most of our time writing when we meet up. So if you bring your lap top or notebook you can still write.
The meetup will be listed on Rai Yan's calendar soon. Probably the first two Tuesdays in November for sure. The date, time and place will be nailed down in a couple days.

Can't wait!

I'll be there! Short white chick with shoulder length dark hair and a black laptop. And if you know anyone who has small children, I'm sure I have "that look" about me. You know, the sleep deprivation, the gnashing of teeth... ;) I'll umm... tell you what color shirt I'm wearing a bit closer to the event. There's no telling whether I'll get to both the whites and the darks between now and then.

Great Cathy and Kesl!
We will look for you as well as the others on Tuesday night. Sounds like we are going to be big group.

This is my first attempt at NaNoWriMo. It's great that there are so many in the Wake Forest area. I will be there if I can work out my schedule. I don't remember Starbucks being very large at Wakefield. Is it possible to write during this time or is it more about encouraging one another?

Thanks,
Daphne

The Starbucks is pretty tiny, but if it's nice weather there are also tables outside, as well as some outside tables down a bit in front of Moe's.

Hi! My name is Nyssa! I live in South Raleigh, but North Raleigh sounds like as close as I'm going to find a meet-up, which sounds good to me! I may even bring along a writing buddy. Definitely count me in. And how perfect that its going to be a Tuesday--that's my day off! I love it when there's a day that really works for most everyone. I am so excited, I might start babbling. This will be my first official NaNoWriMo, and I am determined to get through it on top! I have brown hair and freckles, I'm 24 years old, and I'll be clutching my little white Apple iBook. You can't miss me.

So just to reitterate:

Nov. 3rd
7:00 PM
Starbucks--Kroger Shopping Center--Corner of Capital Blvd and New Falls of Neuse Rd.

COUNT ME IN!!!

P.S. If there are South Raleigh (or wherever) writers who want to meet up more often (anytime Tuesday or Wednesday, or any day late at night, like, after 9PM) feel free to come over to my apartment! I have an open door policy. My living room is cozy and I have a fireplace to inspire us (what, burning things doesn't inspire you?) Just send me an e-mail or give me a call if you're interested. I promise I'll respond! The more support we have with our writing, the better we'll do! Even if you just want to hang out and talk through ideas, I'm all ears!

Luv,
Nyssa

Tuesday nights don't work for me currently; let me know if you start meeting on Thursday as well. Also, I'm a little further south of Wakefield - so if anyone wants to start a group meeting at Triangle Town Center....maybe in the food court (near the Starbucks which has almost no seating at all)...let me know!

This is my first Nanowrimo - I'm a recruit of DaphneSue's! :-)

I'm in Zebulon so Triangle Town Center is doable for me. And Thursdays are doable for me (except for the 12th). Let me know if you want to set something up.

The Starbucks inside the Barnes and Noble in Triangle Town Center also has a teensy bit of seating, but maybe more than near the food court? Now, what i think would be optimal is if we claimed those "display" massaging recliners on the second floor near the elevators. They wouldn't mind if we just camped on those for a few hours, would they? Hmm, maybe they're not massaging, but they do look big and comfy. I'm always there with kids in tow, so I wouldn't know. Thursdays are not as good for me as Tuesdays, but do go ahead and post the info if you're going to do a meetup on a Thursday and I'll make it when I can.

I'm very, very sad to say that I won't be able to make it tonight :(

I'll be thinking about you all and hope you get LOTS of writing done.

Will be there for the next one.

PS I've tried to post this countless times now but there appears to be a gremlin loitering in the NaNo system :(

Just going to go throw on something somewhat presentable and i'll be out the door. Stealing hubby's purple sweatshirt, so I should be easy to find.

I'm in Wake Forest. I've been doing NANO since 2003. I finished my first year but have had mixed results since then. I'm not sure how many meet-ups I will make, as I have comittments most evenings during the week, but perhaps I'll be able to make one or two.

Good luck everyone!

Hiii there. I'm new at NaNo this year.
I live just outside of the Wake Forest area, and it's be nice to meet sometime with other nearby writers! I have a lot of clubs and sports to attend (I'm a sophomore in high school), but I'd really love to meet somewhere. Just say when and where, and I'll see if my mother can drive me! (again, high school sophomore. that means no license; just a permit)

Oh yes, btw, you can call me K.

I should be there again this coming week, but probably not the week after. Hopefully by Tuesday I'll be caught back up to word count. It was so nice meeting both of you! And now I have to go write. ;)

It was great to meet you too!. I see there are many in our area who may or may not be able to work out a Tuesday night. Just so you know, we will be there just in case you can make it. Starbucks is tiny, but we have done well there so far. We have had as many as 6 people writing there, and yes we actually get writing done!
Yea for us!!!!
