Pickens County Georgia Writers

Strangeness — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:37:17 +0000

Are there any other writers in this group from Pickens County Georgia. This includes Jasper, which is where I'm from.

Any of you that do reply to this and tell me how your story is going. I'm currently at 65k and about 10k from being done with my story. :) At least, part one, that is.

fly — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:48:04 +0000

Dear Neighboring Regions (and Australia),
Greetings from fly, the ML for NaNo Nashville. This year, we are having our own ginormous write a thon, which we'll be holding the same time those out in Cali are having theirs (well, mostly). We would very much like you all to come. In fact, I would very much like to have so many writers that our total writers word count EXCEEDS that of the Cali event.

Details are as follows. Please post here if you can come.
NOTE: You only need to RSVP to one thread for this event.

The Evening of Scribbling Recklessly is on 11/22 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Nashville.

Where: 2300 Knights of Columbus Blvd. Nashville, TN

Where? - From I-40, exit Briley Parkway South (exit 215A), take the first LEFT onto Knights of Columbus Blvd.

When - 11/22 from 4-10 PM.

Important Notes:
$10 donation required for admission. This is in addition to any donation you've made. I will waive this for anyone that can prove they came from Australia.
Bring a side dish to share. Remember, we're pretty much all going to have computers handy, so stay away from really messy stuff. :)

We will be having a ton of giveaways.
You can get tickets for these givaways in a number of ways:
- Admission fee. Yes, you automatically get tickets for showing up.
- Bringing a dish to share like you're supposed to
- Wear a NaNo t-shirt. This can be from any year, and can be national or regional. I'll also accept Script Frenzy and Office of Letters and Light shirts for this.

- Additional tickets can be purchased.

Please let me know if you're coming.

Anyone in the Newnan/Sharpsburg/Peachtree City area that want to meet up for an idea mash up?

Aalif — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:52:39 +0000

Wow long title is long! haha

But as the thread name says I would love to meet up and toss ideas. I have a few plot holes that are bugging the snot out of me that I'd love to hash out.. Not to mention the chance to sit and talk with people who are also in this challenge would be a great change of pace from work!

Anyone have any ideas on where to meet up or when? As long as I have a place to write I'll be happy. haha

Hi Everyone!

I'm redcurlkennesaw, the ML for the Kennesaw/Marietta/Georgia Elsewhere zone. I'm totally excited about this year, aren't you? I live near and go to KSU, where I'm a history major. This will be my sixth Nanowrimo- I've won four of those years and written an alternate history and several fantasy adventure novels. And I can't finish a Script Frenzy to save my life.

How about you?

Hey, anyone in the Statesboro area for this year? Well, other than me, that is. :) If so, maybe we could see about meeting up or something. Just a thought. But yeah, this will be my third year participating, though I have yet to actually finish... The whole school thing kind of throws a kink in that plan. Lol. But yeah... Hope to see someone here.

Due To My Work Schedule

K.D.Storm — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:52:22 +0000

As I told everyone in the other group I am a member of due to my work schedule and my lack of transportation it's doubtful that I will be able to attention any write ins this year. I still would love to build a fellowship with everyone who needs a friend to talk to and what not. With that said anyone who wants to be added to my facebook account please feel free to send me an invite. Just let me know you are from this group and I will gladly accept you. Thanks Kim.

North Georgia is now an official region!

maytwentyseven — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:44:04 +0000

Hello Georgians!

Just wanted to let everyone in North Georgia (Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Dalton, Gainesville, etc.) that there is an official forum for our region. The parameters of the region are pretty broad, but I'm sure there are plenty of us who could get together in different areas. I am the Municipal Liaison for the North Georgia region, so please feel free to ask questions, give suggestions, and say hi! I look forward to all the fun in the forum and getting to know everyone.

Hi.

I live in Roswell, but spend some of my time writing at my cabin just outside of Young Harris. Anyone else up there writing this year?

I won NANO last year and am now shopping my 83k word novel, Seven Sanctuaries to agents and publishers.

I'd love to catch up with anyone north of Atlanta.

My New NANo Goal

Ice_Dragoness — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:31:22 +0000

I'm pledging myself to something very eccentric. I'm going for 50K by 3:00 PM on Nov. 20.

Reasons: I want very badly to win 2009 NANO, with a worthwhile novel (as I thought 2007's was, except that in two years I've lost some copies and what I retained wasn't complete). Then I just discovered, or realized, this afternoon that the three older grandkids have not 4, but 9 days total, vacation from school for Tgiving: Nov. 21 – Nov. 29. Well, that's a potential loss of 9 days' Writing Time, as it's difficult to Write in a household of 5 adults and 5 children, ages 11 months to 10 years, and my only computer is a reconditioned desktop in my daughter's living room. The children's bedtime is 8 PM, so no computer use after that; and I usually try to escape to my separate quarters when they arrive home at 3:15, as my babysitting day (which begins at 7 AM on weekdays and 5 AM on weekends) is usually over. I may have to start (THE HORROR! THE HORROR!) writing in my bedroom, in illegible longhand. (O please O Writing Angels, deliver me from that!)
I don't have a working laptop so couldn't participate in a write-in, don't have transportation, and babysit all day 7 days a week. Whee! So my determination must be cranked up to Intense to do this. I will.

Fellow Elsewhere's, Unite! i made a map on Google maps, and the link is here:
Google maps

It's incomplete, but I hope people will add themselves [i wouldn't put my exact address in there, since it's a public map]. I located myself in the Cuthbert Public Library. Choose your fave hangout, or just the center of your town/city/village/favorite tree, and then you can see where your nearest NaNoNeighbor is! I would like to see a communal map for every region like this. Let's get ourselves mapped and show the other regions how!

Enjoy!

Any other Ellijay novelists out there?

Nenya217 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:59:32 +0000

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to another challenging/amazing/exhausting NaNoWriMo experience and wondered if there were any other members located in the Ellijay/Gilmer Co. area. A few friends and I meet weekly at the East Ellijay Starbucks for creative writing sessions - we've dubbed ourselves "Writers Anonymous" - and we are all determined to NaNo our hearts out this year!

If you're located anywhere nearby, we'd love to have you come and join us. We usually meet every Thursday night from 7:30 until 9:30ish... or until we get too cold and hungry to stay any longer. :-) I may try to put together some kind of additional NaNo party if there's enough interest.

In any case, looking forward to meeting other North Georgia comrades!

If you're unable to make the sessions but still want a place to write, our hours of operation are listed on the website and we have plenty of comfy chairs and quiet spaces. We even have an outdoor patio if the weather cooperates!
