Thanks :) Will you be at TAN tonight? If so could you help me work on the calender then?

AuroraLee
55076 words so far Winner!

No :( Junior Achievement starts tonight so I won't be back at Open Mic for a while. Booo!
But perhaps we'll be able to figure it out via Facebook or MSN? I'll PM you my MSN addy :)

Lana-the-librarian (and perhaps fellow Nano-er if she can figure out an idea!) has scored us a writer!

The November 15th Write in at Kingstec will feature Michele Helliwell & KarenBlackthorn. They will speak to their writing process; self pub v print pub; “give aways”

She’s very keen to come & talk will answer questions or just sit quietly AND will bring along another writer AND will scope out the Atlantic chapter of Romance Writers [I didn't even know there was such a thing!] for freebies AND….

I'll send an email out to the wolfville peeps when I have more info (and time!)

Tonight, Monday October 24th from 6:00-7:30pm at the Wolfville TAN coffee shop we'll be having our Kick-Off/Meet-up event. Hope to see you there!

Getting ready to head to Kingstec for the first of many write-ins! In the Kentville area and have a few hours to kill? Drop by the Kingstec Library Meeting Room between 11 & 2 today :) (and every Tuesday!) Can't make it? I'll try and run a word war an hour in our regional sparring thread :P

little1liz
50294 words so far Winner!

I think I show up between 12 and 1....could you make the word wars every hour on the half hour?

AmaiRose

Awesome write in... there were words, and points, and an idea on how to end my story less unabasedly awful than my original idea. Abashedly awful. It'll be good.

Hi guys! Actually, AuroraLee, it's Taryn Blackthorne and I'm really excited to be going to Kingstec on the 15th with Michelle. Michelle is a great writer, and we're trying to get a really good presetation set up for all the comers. I'm on the site as Blenky if you want to add me as a writing buddy, I'd love it! If any of you are going to be in New Minas tomorrow, November 4th, I'm going to be at Saraj bakery from around 1pm til 5pm...Nano-ing away! If you want to drop off some questions for us to cover, feel free! Think I'll try to hit some of those write-ins at the Kingstec library on Tuesdays (it's open to everyone, right?)...but I can't make any promises just yet.

Hope to see you guys soon!

AuroraLee

Thanks for the correction. I'll make sure Lana knows (I copied from her email) so that it's correct when she advertises the event!

The write-ins are open to everyone :D (AmaiRose comes to them and she's not a student). Look forward to meeting you at a write-in and/or on the 15th!

Speaking of AmaiRose... (sorry, I'm tired, and my brain has gone to that place)... I'm likely to show up at a write in because a)it's November and b) I really like Saraj baked goods. If you are planning to go and worrying about how to get there, Aurora, I could give you a lift.

Thanks :) I thought of swinging by, but I'm working until 3 so... I think I'll have to pass. I just need to FOCUS! You're beating me!! :p

If it makes you feel any better, as of now, so far today I have written a grand total of 0 words. *sigh*

AuroraLee

I'm not doing much better. lol Hopefully tomorrow will be better for both of us!

Hey guys!
The write in was really productive for me, thanks to AmaiRose and Bird's Melody for coming. We'll be meeting again Wednesday, November 9th from 1-5 at Saraj Bakery if anyone else wants to join us. I promise to bring the pink sands hourglass for the word wars!

I'll also try for the write in on Monday so I can get my sticker for my computer, if you have any left, little1liz. ;)

Such a delicious write in... looking forward to the hourglass.

I'd love to go to that one on Wednesday, except for two things.
I don't know where Saraj bakery is
and
I'm pretty much confined to Wolfville, without a car.

Hopefully I'll at least see you all on Monday night! :)

AuroraLee

saraj is on the main drag in NM (never been but seen it). Accessible by bus if you have the coinage :P

AmaiRose
100655 words so far Winner!

By the subway. Not quite to the Walmart, on the right side if you're heading from Wolfville to Kentville.

I KNOW WHERE THAT IS NOW. :'D

Blenky

If you know New Minas, it's the old Pizza Delight building across from the Ultramar.

If you don't know New Minas, get on the kings transit and get off at the Burger King stop.

Does that help?

little1liz

Write In tonight at the Wolfville TAN.... it's from 6-9 but I am all ready there.

Hope to see you!
