Simi Valley/Thousand Oaks?

Regan Sweet — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:42:03 +0000

Any Simi Vallians out there? I noticed there was a Ventura post, but I'm wondering if anyone lives a little closer, maybe~ ;D This is my second attempt at NaNoWriMo. I didn't get very far last year...sadly. I'm hoping I can make it this year!

Ventura/Oxnard

Jessica_Brianne — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:53:05 +0000

Hey all! Is there anyone lurking out there that's in the Ventura/Oxnard area? I just moved here this year from Portland and I haven't been able to do any recon on good places to write for a few hours. Anyone out there to befriend me and show me the writing ropes out here would be excellent.

Don't be shy. I don't bite.

SLO county meet for Night of Writing Dangerously?

maggieprizazz — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:30:08 +0000

Hidy-Ho Neighbors,

Is anyone going to the Night of Writing Dangerously in San Francisco on November 22? If so, this could be a great time to set up a carpool... I wish I could go. =¿

Anyone interested in having a SLO county Night of Writing Dangerously? It probably wouldn't have prizes like the on in SF. I'm thinking potluck somewhere. But where?

What do you think?

Thousand Oaks

Raven West — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:53:48 +0000

While I see people here from surrounding cities, Simi Valley and Westlake, (don't see any Newbury Park) thought I'd start a post for the T.O. writers. I hit the 21,000 word mark on Sunday, then have had one HELL of a week, so now it's Thursday, and I have got to hit my lap-top when I get home.

The problem for me is that I'm working and writing for a trade publication in landscaping industry, something I know NOTHING about and couldn't care less, but I have to write all day and by the time I get home, my creative brain is mush! BUT, I am determined this year to make the 50,000 word goal. Might not be the "best" 50,000 words I've ever written, but that's not really the point of this, is it?

Hope to meet some other T.O. folk on the other side of November!

Just wondering if there are any other Anaheim ppl on here. Even if you aren't and you come on here feel free to add me as a buddy please. First time doing this and would love more buddies for support. :-) And don't worry I give support too, whether it is on writing or not.

Long Beach!

Reflectiveless — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:46:28 +0000

Hey, I don't know if anyone from Long Beach is on this year, which would be a shame if not. Last year there was 40 people from Long Beach that I knew of- due to a crazy English class assignment. So I hope there will still be people from here on here again.

~raising my hand sheepishly~ Guilty over here. Not too far behind the word power curve as I wrote extra the day before. Dammit though...four days in and I get to play catch up.

Anyone else? Misery loves company.

Anyone out there from the High Desert? I would be floored if there were. I'm pretty sure I am the only one from my region crazy enough to attempt this.

This is my first year participating in the NaNoWriMo challenge, and I could really use a few "writing buddies" to keep me more accountable--so if you're hurting for some as well, feel free to add me.

Thanks!

Hey peoples! I noticed there was a board for Simi Valley/ Thousand Oaks, but no Moorpark. We may not be as big as Simi/TO, but hey, we're still here. So I guess this is just a big Hello! to all those Moorparkians on NaNo. :D Feel free to post!

Pomona Valley Write-In, November 1st

Writerfangirl — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:50:30 +0000

Hey there!

Continuing from last year, writers in Pomona Valley will be meeting at CK Cafe, in Claremont, on Saturday and Sunday, starting with Sunday, November 1st. The time will be based on what time people will want to meet. If you want to come, please post the time that is best available for you. I'm thinking 1 or 2PM, but we could do earlier or later. Writing tends to go all day.

CK Cafe is the best cafe I have ever been to. They have free wifi, comfy seats, and SOOO many drinks to choose from. Their assortment of tea is unprecedented. All of their tea is found in glass jars on the front counter. On Saturdays and Sundays, the indoor portion of the cafe is a quiet place and perfect for working.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/ck-cafe-claremont

CK Cafe is a bit of a hole in the wall. You can access the cafe through the patio by the parking lot or you can cut through the hallway where the bathroom is at The Danson/Espiaus.

If you are in Claremont, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Montclair, Chino, Upland, or any other surrounding city, we would love for you to join us at the Pomona Valley Write-Ins!

You can join the Pomona Valley Yahoo Group here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pomonavalleywrites/

See you at the Write-In!

Well, even if I'm stranded out here by m'self, it's great to get to know y'all =) Anyone as excited as I am to start November?
