Teenagers???? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/europe-england-london/threads/78640 elitedragon So, from what I've seen, there aren't all that many teenagers doing NaNoWriMo. Or at least, I haven't really come across many. Only my friends from school who either signed up voluntarily or were forced. I'd like to meet some people, maybe for write-ins or something of the sort but I don't know if I'd feel comfortable around adults so if anyone is a teenager, please make yourself known to me so I know I'm not the only one!

Which Write-Ins were you thinking of attending? Perhaps this was the wrong year to consider stepping into the year of novelling. Good luck! I'm going to need a hell of a lot of it!

Lyons This message is a reply to the previous message, but I can't get the 'Reply' function on the forum to work. I'd definitely consider doing one of the Sunday sessions. Also considering doing the NaNorilla walking tour, but on the other hand, I've probably visited most of the locations before, owing to my frequent adventures alone on the streets of the various areas of London that my family colloquially refers to as 'Taahn' (basically any area of London west of Stratford), due to the fact that my school is two blocks away from the starting point. I'll see how I feel closer to the time. BTW Is there any way to get rid of the Overwrite function on the comment posting system?

I would certainly go, and I'd drag my friend along who are doing NaNoWriMo in this area. We live in Bromley, so we have easy transport into the city center and also into areas like greenwich and wimbledon. I just went on google maps and looked Sunbury up. If you zoom out a little you can see Bromley. We seem to be about 35 km away. Between us, if you're still up for organising a write-in, you could nanomail me and we could find a place somewhere we can both easily reach. :-) Just so you know, including myself and you and my friends who would come there would be about 6 of us so far.
