East London folks!

Hello all.

Felt as though there should be a thread as there was last year, where we can organise write-ins and other events, and also for general East London chit chat.

Hallo! I moved out to Leyton in April. :)

How are you finding it so far? I like Leyton, nice area.

It is a nice area. Very pleased with my flat (well, shared flat) here. I'm still learning about the area. I occasionally go exploring down random roads to see where I end up. I did enjoy finding out that I can walk to Westfield in half an hour.

Whereabouts are you?

I'm on the other side of the River Lea in Clapton at the north end of Hackney. I wonder if any others will be joining us?

As in past years I shall definitely be organising a write-in or two at the Pembury Tavern in Hackney. The place does lovely beer and food, serves mulled mead over the winter and has a bar billiards table. The only problem with holding a write-in there is that it does lovely beer and food, serves mulled mead over the winter and has a bar billiards table! _But_, if you can ignore the oh-so-attractive distractions then it's a lovely place to write. Also it has free wifi, but no one's forcing you to use it...! ;o)

I look forward to write-ins which allow me to just hop on a bus :D

I moved to Walthamstow, East London about... five days ago. Hello. Local write-ins welcome, especially if (when) I fall behind.

I moved to Walthamstow area just four months ago, so after five years of North London I'm finally back in the East! Really enjoying E17 so far, so it might be a permanent migration. :)

I'm pretty sure my flatmate is planning on running a weekend write-in at one of our locals, not sure where/when yet though.

Yay for East London c: I just moved in to New Cross a few weeks ago

East London write-ins would be awesome!

I live near Lea Valley Ice Skating Centre im sure i can get the landlord of the Hare & Hounds on Lea Bridge Road to have a Write-in if thats close to anyone.

The ice skating centre isn't far from me at all!

Just found a house in Stratford (during the Olympics, no less!) and loving it, it's such a nice area. Was always a South Londoner before!

I'm more of a South-East Londoner. I live in Erith, which is near Dartford, and Bexleyheath, but nearer to Bexleyheath. Can't wait 'til NaNo. My first year this year.

East Greenwich cheapy flat. I wrote around twenty thousand words of fiction in 2 days once, that's my record XD. The arrogant narrator I used left this massive footprint on me though, so I still channel him at times.

What about this East London write-in?

Hi,

I live in Barking but I'm a bus driver and my route (the 254) goes through Hackney and Clapton. Have always wanted to try out the Pembury Tavern since discovering it's a pub. Anyway, it would be nice to meet up some time if my work times don't clash :)

OHAI 254 driver! The 254 goes past the end of my road. I use it regularly!

Hey guys, I'm doing NaNoWriMo for the very first time this year. I live in Ilford and work in Stratford, and meet-ups would definately help motivate me, provided they don't clash with my work schedule (my boss is an evil bitch and I'm going to name a character after her and then kill her off violently in my novel).
Has everyone here done NaNoWriMo before? am I the only noob? :)

Sylvia

I'm a north Londoner (Enfield), but my connections to the east ain't so shabby :D
