NaNoWriMo events!

We've got a busy schedule of events coming up to keep you entertained and motivated! Some times and places may change, but I'll do my best to keep you up to date and pin down everything soon.

Kick off Party - Will be on the Sunday before Nanowrimo. We've tentatively chosen Meow Cafe in the centre of town as a large, friendly and funky location, I just need to clear it with them 100% but they seem happy enough.

Weekly Weekday Write-ins will be at Clark's Cafe in Wellington Central Library from 2 till about 6. Feel the motivation of tonnes of books!

Weekly Weekend Write-in will be at 2 on Sundays, probably at Meow Cafe. If Meow closes early then the action moves to Joe's Garage near Te Papa.

We'll also be having Weekly Evening Write-ins on Wednesdays at the Southern Cross for those of you that would like some alcoholic inspiration. Time to be decided.

Anything else you need/want? Any question? Discuss below!

Whenever I come back to NZ, you'll have to show me this "Meow" place. It sounds like there are going to be lots of write-ins in Wellington for NaNo. Awesome! I'll be cheering you guys on from the forums and the Ink Slingers facebook group.

It looks like there might be an early kick-off party in NYC, so I'll have the chance to meet people here before I leave. I'm going to be doing NaNo in one country for one half of the month and here for the other half. Should be interesting.

What part of town is Meow Cafe in? Cuba Street?

((We have so many cafes in this city I can not be expected to know where they all are))

Alrighty, I'll have a look for it the next time I am in that part of town (which might even be tomorrow).

Time: Friday, November 25 at 7:00pm - November 26 at 2:00am

Location : Top Flat 4, Entrance Street, Aro Valley Wellington, New Zealand

For those who aren't familiar with NaNoWriMo, holding a 'Night of Writing Dangerously' is simply a writing party in November where everyone brings their laptops - and possibly other stuff like stimulants or booze.

Since we didn't have one last year (or the year before that) I'm declaring one at my place. It's fairly central.

Booze, chemical writing aids and applicable medication are fine (and indeed expected). However, legal and prescription meds. only please, as I do not have defibrillator, and the police are stubbornly difficult to bribe.

Please bring 'a plate' - or a bottle.

Wait... So which weekday r these weekly weekday meetings?

Hey was looking to finf the "night" event on FB, no luck? I have work til 10.30 but seeing as how this is my 1st time doing something like this I would be fully keen to stop by on my way home..!

Sweet thanks, was talking about Night Of event :-). And I shall definitely try find the Inkslingers group!

I'll probably be able to drop in for a Week day event unfortunatly I'm up in Masterton during the weekends so won't be able to make weekend events.

Ahhhh, I wanna come to all of them!!! Sadly I have work from 8:30-5:30, so I can only come to the evenings and the weekends.
Sadpanda is sad :(

I may appear at a few Weekly Write Ins at the central library this week, dependent on whether I've come up with a solid story plan.
:)

We should definitely have a picnic lunch on some sunny weekend. Since we actually have nice weather coming up!
