High School Writers (Northwest Suburbs)

Hello! Any of you high school writers from last year might remember me and Viper as heading up high school write-ins at the Des Plaines Public Library after school on Fridays. Currently, Viper is in college, so I'm left here as the senior from Maine South (Park Ridge) leading this up.
I was wondering if anyone from the Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Niles area would be interested in having write-ins. The last few years I've been doing this have been rather popular. Possible meeting places are Des Plaines Public Library (preferable), Park Ridge Public Library, or any other location, such as cafes, etc.
So, if you're interested, just reply here with what school you're from and what times/places would be best for you. If transportation is an issue, we usually have several people from each of the surrounding schools, so car-pooling may be an option.

p.s.--> I prefer Fridays after school at the Des Plaines Library.

I'm up for trying to find everyone again. :P Maybe I won't fail this year? *crosses fingers*
Saturdays work best for me. Friday might be able to work, but I'll have to acquire a ride from someone, if that's okay.

Hey guys! I don't know if you remember me from last year, but I'm Caitlin, one of the writers from Maine West who came to the write-ins at the DPPL last year. :) I would definitely be up for some more write-ins. Friday after school would be preferable for me as well, but I'm open to Saturday mornings too- it'll just be hard for me to get up, haha!

I'm so glad we're going to try to do this again! The write-ins were incredibly helpful last year, so hopefully we'll be able to make this work! :)

I'm up for write-ins. Any library would be fine, I'm within distance of them. I'm Nik, from South. Keep me in tune with the times and dates and places and junk. I know a few people who are doing NaNo this year, so I'll poke them.

Hi, everyone! I teach at Oakton Community College in Des Plaines and we're looking to add more Write-Ins to our schedule. Everyone is welcome, and we'd love to have you join us!

If you're interested, I made a survey to see which times work best for everyone. Go ahead and take it and hopefully I'll see at Oakton:

Oakton Write-Ins Survey

Hi guys. While I am in college, I might be in town during Thanksgiving break for a couple write-ins. I'll keep an eye on this thread. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Hi, everyone. I work at the Des Plaines Public Library and I'm signed up for NaNoWriMo for the first time. I wanted to invite you to drop by the Teen Lounge on Tuesday the 8th and the 29th to check in and see how your writing is going. Hope to see you there.

Okay, as the writing buddies section of the site isn't working yet, I hope you are checking this.
Here are some tentative times of meeting. Please let me know if you are interested in attending any. It's much more fun if people actually show up at a write-in!

TENTATIVE TIMES:
Friday, Nov. 4, 3:40ish-?
Friday, Nov 11, All day off school. Decide on time...
Friday, Nov 18, 3:40ish-?
Thanksgiving break--> as wanted/needed

Last year, we generally met every Friday after school and sometime during Thanksgiving break. The first person usually arrived around 3:40ish and we went until 5:00-5:30 depending on interest. Really, there was no set end time.

All meetings are at the Des Plaines Public Library in the Teen Lounge on the third floor. Either we stay there or we head over to the reading room, whatever our mood.

Transportation a problem? We'll try to work that out.

So please, reply and express interest or disinterest.

As of now, we have four people attending the fourth for sure, which is good for the first time. This would be: Crazyontheinside_Mimi, kitty-catline, another girl from Maine South, and myself. I eagerly await this Friday,

This would be at the DPPL?

I should be able to show up. I might be a tad late, though. There's a V-show meeting after school.

I'm totally coming tonight and next week Friday. I'm home until the 13th from college for term end and can't wait to write with everyone again today! I have two other people who may show up so fingers crossed :)

So, just to let everyone know, we had talked about an impromptu get together after school on Monday. Feel free to go, although I will not be able to attend.
I will, however, be able to be there on Friday, probably from the afternoon onward, since I have off school. Good luck, everyone!

I don't know if I'll be able to make today's meeting, but what's happening tomorrow? Brodieaustin mentioned meeting up and I would love to, but I need to know what time.

PS: Welcome to week two :)

If we could get together after school on Wed., that would work. Of course, I'll be there Friday.

Great, Wednesday it is!

I didn't know this was a thing! Hi, everyone. I'm, uh, at my house. Yeah. Good. Happy writing.

Hey there. I live in what's called the "Island in the City", which is Norridge. Transportation is not a problem for me, and I'd love to go to any write-ins in Des Plaines. I'm pretty sure I'd be able to make it on November 18th, and any time during Thanksgiving break. :) Can't wait.

Who's up for meeting on Friday? And what time because there is no school for you high school kids :)

I won't be able to make it this Friday. My cousin's coming to town. But definitely on the 18th. ^^

Friday at 3:00pm good for people?
