I know there's a write-in on the weekend in question, but I know I at least won't be attending... and for the reason I wanted to ask about.
Is anyone here a convention goer? I'd almost say "wow, going to SugoiCon [i]and[/i] writing a novel, this makes me some sort of super-geek..." But I guess writing a novel at all releases everyone's inner geek just a little bit. I sell artwork every year, although most of my time plunked at the Artist's Alley table this year will be spent writing...
Anyway. Is there anyone else out of the Cinci NaNoCrew that's going to SugoiCon the weekend of November 16-18? Interestingly enough, pretty much all of my personal cheerleaders will be there (as well as a NaNo'er friend of mine from California), and we plan on taking some time to meet our quotas each day.
I was mostly just curious as to whether anyone else would be there... perhaps other attendees who are NaNo writers could plan to get together that Friday or Saturday evening for a small write-in...

I go to Sci-fi/Star Trek conventions, but that's it. In fact, I just attended the Vulkon sci-fi convention in Cleveland this past weekend. What a blast!

I'd *love* to go to conventions more than I do--I've only been to Context and Millenicon--but I haven't touched anything remotely SF or spec-ish in years. Been doing chick lit. I'm hoping to do a "weird" story once Grant and Lauren is finished, but when remains to be seen.
Not I, but if you feel the urge to do a write-in while you're there... don't feel weird about it! :) I'm also affiliated with Team Philadelphia, though they're not my home region, because of my fiance (and I'm moving out there by February). Someone has scheduled an write-in at a hotel bar during Philicon.
And I've attended Romance Writers of America's national conferences in the past. There's *always* a group of writers in the hotel bar, getting smashed and either brainstorming or writing.

It's really just a matter of finding people who are doing it besides me and two of my friends!
Then, a three person write-in is better than a no person write-in!
