Dates for Peeksill area Write-In?

Riverlyn — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:32:12 +0000

Hi,

Forgive me if I missed this, but I'm wondering if there are any dates set for write-ins in Peekskill, Cortlandt, Croton, or similar?

happy writing,

Riverlyn

Are there any other Nanos from Oneonta and the surrounding area?

joeyh — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:14:01 +0000

I live in Oneonta, NY and I was wondering if there are any other Nanos around. I know unofficially of two members in the surrounding area and hopefully a third new Nano. Plus I'm keeping an eye out for some members from the past years in the forums.

ReggieLithium — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:32:55 +0000

Didn't see a thread, so I thought I'd start one.
Personally I'm in my first year of college in Maryland, so I'm not up for any write-ins, but Rockland's still my home (as pathetic as that sounds lol).

Stony Point here. Anyone else from North Rockland? If anyone from NRHS wants to meet up Thanksgiving weekend I might be down. I know I know a few of you.

I don`t know why schools don`t encourage Nanowrimo more. Sure it makes students to tired to concentrate, but it helps mold young minds.

I'm Michelle, I live in Port Jervis and this is my fifth NaNo (and hopefully my third win).
Are there any other wrimos in Orange County? I'm probably the only one here in PJ, but there have to be a few in Middletown at least, right? Or should I be in a different regional forum?

Westchester: Come and write in Yonkers!

TessD1891 — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:52:15 +0000

Hello everyone!

I am a children's librarian in the Yonkers Public Library at the Riverfront branch, which is across the street from the train station. I am trying to get a writing group started for NaNo. A woman named Ava stopped by to ask about it, but we have been unable to reach her to discuss it further. (Ava, if you're reading this, please contact me.)

We have reserved Room 2B (on the second floor) for most Saturdays 2-4pm. The first date is October 31 for a kick-off/getting to know each other session. We also have the room November 21, 28, and December 5 for a wrap up/TGIO party. The room we selected is booked November 7 (as is the whole library) and 14, but perhaps we can find somewhere else to meet for those two weeks.

Feel free to stop by or send me a NaNoMail if you have any ideas, or just post here.

Michelle

Small towns like Jordan/Elbridge are bad places for nano, or are they?

krose502 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:33:43 +0000

Yep they are. The only other person that's participating is my sister and one of my friends is still undecided, but if he does start he'll have quite the word count to make up for.

P.S. Really doesn't help when you can't hold down your stomach acid, let alone food.

Any interest in a Westchester kick-off/write-in this weekend?

Chaoticfluffy — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:44:47 +0000

IANYML (I Am Not Your Municipal Liason), but who's up for a combination kick-off/write-in this weekend? We could do a midnight Saturday write-in (as a lot of excited people tend to want do, although it's Halloween night), or possibly a Sunday write-in. Any preferences for day/time?

According to another thread, there's a room in the Yonkers library booked for NaNo for some weekends, but the booked time for this weekend is too early for writing (iirc, it's Saturday afternoon, 2 hours), so we'll have to look for somewhere else if we want to write-in and get off to good starts.

I've got no other ideas for venues, so if anyone else does, please throw them out here! It'll have to have room for...I don't know, maybe at least ten people? more?, not mind us hanging around for hours, and preferably have wifi and outlets for laptops. The nearby availability of caffeinated beverages would be a plus, too.

Anyone know where Oxford is?

frankiechan14 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:27:23 +0000

Hey everyone. I'm a first-time NaNoWriMo-er coming from the small town of Oxford, NY. All the other towns and cities I've seen mentioned on these forums I recognize, but I wonder if anyone knows about Oxford. :)

Sullivan County?

Is there anyone else here? I'm from Liberty.
I doubt there's enough people for write-ins or anything (Where would we meet, anyway. Wal-Mart?) But it would still be cool to get to know anyone in the area.

Is this right for Fulton/Montgomery?

Pen3Inch — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:28:51 +0000

So, I'm not there yet, but come November, I will be living back in Fulton County. I lived in G-ville for over 9 years, and about a year and a half ago, moved out to Springfield, Mass. Now I'm moving back (Though I might end up in Amsterdam over in Montgomery County.) and I've never really been sure what Region I should join. It's probably this one, as Albany is the next closest Region, and, well, that's about a 45 minute drive from G-ville. So I figured I'd just check and ask to be sure. Thanks in advance to anyone who might help me answer this question!

hi folks!

i've posted in the southern tier forum that i PROMISE that i'm the ml for the elmira/corning region. due to some issues on my end, i haven't gotten my ML agreement into HQ yet; i'm taking care of that tomorrow. i'm guessing corning/elmira doesn't have a regional forum yet because i applied to ml for a newly created region and without an ML, the new region would not be created. in the meantime, so that things don't get confusing, coderster has asked that we not plan our events in the ST forum, so i'm starting a post here for us to talk, plan events, etc.

love~
elizabeth
