Cape Breton News & Events

Our first NaNo Event is here! We'll have a Kickoff/Meetup/Write-in on THURSDAY, NOV 3rd, from 7-9pm, in the new Library building at 309 Commerical Street in North Sydney.

Need a map to get there? Here it is: http://g.co/maps/yhqpp

We'll chat for the first hour and write for the second. Come join us!

Oh, we'll miss you! And I was all, "Thursday night, Kat will be able to make it!" But good luck with your kiddies!

I'm going to try to be there. It'll be a 1.5 hour drive with construction, but who knows how many others I'll make it to? and I'm already behind, so I need the encouragement. :)

Thanks for a great start to the month! I hope to see everyone again. :)

Can we do Sundays at the Bean Bank again? I liked Sundays at the Bean Bank.

I love the Bean Bank! Let's go there.

Yes! I just came in to post this. I didn't think I would be able to make it tomorrow, but now I can. So:

Next meetup:
Sunday, Nov 6 at 1:30
The Bean Bank Cafe, Charlotte Street, Sydney

Come and tell us how your novel is progressing, or gripe over coffee to folks who understand your pain. ;)

P.S. Don't forget the time changes tonight!

S.

Hooray! I love the bean bank, and it's in town so I can come to this one!

I'll be attending, along with a curious roommate and friend if that's okay?

Absolutely! The more the merrier. :)

I'll be there.

You guys are almost where i'm at :)

If you ever come to New Waterford, i'll see if i can visit you guys. i don't have a car and don't know if you'll be here next Friday either, but if we're ever lucky, i'll stop by and say hello.

Hello all! Sorry for no events this weekend; I will be out of town. However, I'll still be keeping up my wordcount, and so should you! :) I'll be in touch about our first live chat event when I get back next week.

Happy writing!
Sherry

Meetup tomorrow?

Kat, you are a mind-reader. LOL I just came in to post this:

Hello all!

I know, it's been quiet around here this week--I was in catch-up mode after the convention. :)

BUT

let's get together at the Bean Bank again tomorrow and share some coffee, congratulations, or commiserations, as the case may be.

Bean Bank Cafe, Charlotte Street, Sydney, 1:30

Then Monday night, 8 p.m., let's do an online chat/write-in. The chat room is here:

http://www.sherrydramsey.com/?page_id=4

Just scroll to the bottom(ish) of the page until you see a button bearing a cup of coffee. Give it a click, and follow the instructions (you don't have to enter anything for a profile if you don't wish to). It's a java-run chat applet, so there's nothing to download or install. The chat window opens separately, so you may have to allow pop-ups for the site. Come by and chat, and we'll have some word wars if anyone is up for it. You can test this setup on your computer anytime (although there'll probably be no-one else in the room).

Hope your novels are going well and that we'll see you at one of these events!

I was out of town for a conference when you last met, but just wanted to touchbase with everyone and say hi. I hit a roadblock in my story, but have it figured out now. It would be really nice if life could slow down for November.... but it hasn't. Anyway, I won't be "winning" this year but I am keeping up with the idea and hope to finish this year.

Sorry, I mean finish this year as in, December 2011!

Are we going to have a closing party?
