WEEKLY Runnymede Writing Session - Fridays @ 6:30pm http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/canada-ontario-toronto/threads/18874 OilsDragon Now that it's November, “Odd Fridays At Runnymede” (OFAR) are no longer restricted to only odd Fridays! (I can't remember who to credit, but somebody coined "ALL Fridays at Runnymede" or "AFAR".) We’re gathering every week at the Runnymede Starbucks to do some serious writing.

For today's writing session (November 4th), I will not be attending due to commitments I made before volunteering to host Runnymede Fridays during NaNo. Normally, I would still invite calls because I could easily direct you to the Starbucks, but I have a job interview this evening as well, so please don't call me! Call Drew, ext. 2. and he should be able to help you. I look forward to seeing everyone at the rest of the Runnymede sessions!

Friday afternoons I'm usually at my dad's place doing some editing work on his book manuscript (no, not a novel), and that's not far from Runnymede &amp; Bloor, so it's a good location for me on those days.

How long do people usually stay? I noticed one or two saying they might not be there until 9:00 - is it still worth coming then?

Also, realized that next time I really need to bring earphones so I can listen to music — trying to concentrate with all those voices around me took a bit of getting used to! But it all worked out OK, though - I wrote 1,879 words during the not-quite-two-hours I was there, and that took me past the 10,000 word mark at last!

I am going to ask the Starbucks about this tonight since I live right by it, but -- did anyone pick up my laptop cord? I was one of the last people to head out, and my cord got separated in the middle part and I was too distracted by everyone to remember to pick up the other half. It was plugged into the power bar near the washrooms, so I'm hoping whoever owns the power bar might have picked it up? Let me know.
