My work schedule this year excludes me from many of the set writing sessions for downtown Toronto. :( This makes me sad. However, I have Fridays off and wouldn't mind an unoffical Friday writing session in the Parkdale area (West End of Toronto). Would anyone in that area or able to get to that area be up for such? |

I can't make a lot of the set write-ins either. I could do most Friday evenings after 7 or so. In years past we've done write-ins at the Starbucks at Runnymede and Bloor, which has a roomy second floor and is open quite late.

7ish works for me! And it's an easy enough jaunt via the TTC to Runnymede station as well (I'm just over at Lansdowne)
So let's say this Friday, 7 pm at the Runnymede Starbucks and anyone who can come is welcome to join us!

Oooh. You're writing at my favorite Starbucks. That's too tempting to miss! I will see you there! ; )

*bump*
For those who aren't familiar with the location, it's half a block east of Runnymede on the north side of Bloor - couldn't be easier to get there via subway. ;-)

I'll come by a bit earlier and see you there, Nepeta. Not sure if I'll be making these every week, but I will be there for sure this Friday.

That's my neck of the woods, so I would definitely be up for that area for an informal place for writing. :D
Not sure if I can make it regularly (especially if this becomes a semi-regular thing) due to school, but I'd be willing to try it!

Whoot! Totally looking forward to meeting a bunch of you, some again, some for the first time! It'll feel real nice to sit with a bunch of fellow writers, perhaps the vibe will help me unlock the *&*&^%*&^%^((*(&^%^$$ block I'm in!
(I know what I want to write, the words and plot and characters and actions are there, it just won't transfer from my brain to my keyboard! GAAAAAAAAH!!!)

Forgot to add that my partner is coming too. (It's my fifth NaNo and his first. I finally got to him!!!)
See you guys at 8:30!

Okies, Natalia and I are sitting here together, sorry I wasn't able to come by earlier today nepeta, but I had a stack of "It's my day off and I've got a million errands to run!". :( Mayhap another Friday I can swing in earlier!

That's alright.
I thought I would stay until 8 or 9, but I wasn't feeling well, so I left at 6. And before anyone starts to worry, it was nothing serious, I just needed to lie down.

Hope you got some good writing in while you were there, Nepeta!
Nice to meet you, Vampy (and Natalia, nice to meet you again)!
I actually came home and wrote about 500 more words that night. And have only written 500 more since then...gotta get going!

Bumping this thread because Nat and I both plan to be there this week, though I may be a tad late. I'll probably arrive around 7:30-8:00.

I might be there around 6:30 or 7:00. Will everyone be sitting upstairs?

Yes! Though I' not sure when everyone will be arriving, since I'm going to be late... Natalia, do you have a plan?

I should be there by 6:30 or so! If you missed me last week, I'm short with rather long blonde hair! Looking forward to tonight, as I find writing sessions always get my creative juices going!

We'll definitely be sitting upstairs. Look for a Nanowrimo sign on the table! : )
P.S. I'm aiming to be there 5:00- 5:30, Nepeta.

Hi all! I just found this thread and I'm wondering if this meet up is still happening. Will there be a gathering this Friday Nov 20? I got all excited because I live in the area but I didn't see any new posts for this week...

Natalia and I were just talking about this one... yes! We're on! Though I'm perhaps not the best one to ask because I'm usually late for this one... Natalia should check in soon and she'll be the final word.

Haha, that's the spirit! :D
ok I'll be there tomorrow around 7? I'm guessing it's easy to pick out the nanowrimos cuz we'll all have laptops?
