Hey Clevelanders!
I apologize now for my sporadic attendance here. Baby Geir is eating my time (and brain). Our schedule for the parties and write-ins for this year are as follows:
Kick-Off Party
10/24 -- Parma Heights Library, 2-4 pm
Thursdays, Panera Bread at I-480 and Tiedeman, 7-closing
Saturday Write-Ins
11/7 -- Fairview Parkm Library, 2-4 pm
11/14 -- Strongsville Library, 2-4 pm
11/21 -- Solon Library, 2-4 pm
11/28 -- Chagrin Falls Library, 2-4 pm
Thank Goodness It's Over Party (potluck)
12/5 -- North Royalton Library, 2-4 pm
If anyone would like to arrange for other write-ins around the area, feel free. Let me know and I'll post them on the regional calendar so that anyone could attend.
I will try to make all of the write-ins, but may have baby in tow.
The Kick-Off party is just a mixer to see your old Nano buddies and make new ones. I'll bring some snacks and drinks, but anyone else can bring some munchies too.
I'll be sending out a region wide email soon with more info.
Welcome and happy writing!
Christine

AHHHHH! ZOMBIE BABY!
:D hehe
Thanks for reposting the schedule. If my kid permits it, maybe I'll get to make it up to the kick-off to meet all you other crazy Cleveland-area Wrimos! I mean, it's a really long drive, but I think I can handle it.
(I live in Parma.) :P

I may be at the kick-off party... It's at the end of fall break, so I may or may not be back in college. Thanks for the info!

I will try my hardest to be at the kick-off, but otherwise I won't be anywhere else. :)

Hi all,
This will be my first year in the NaNoWriMo. I've heard about it a few times before from friends (two of which came out of it with their first published novels), but I've never really checked into it myself. I've had a few story ideas kicking around in my head for years now, and figured this was just what I needed to finally see if they're worth developing. I guess I'm more or less going into this thinking of it as a major 'freewriting' session.
Either way, I'm really excited about this, and seeing all the enthusiasm here is really enlightening.
Anyway, I will be at the kick-off party on the 24th, and hope to at least make one or two of the write-ins. Can't wait to meet all of you!
Nick (from Parma)

First year NaNoWriMo participant. I have an active imagination and am looking forward to getting into this. Right now, a topic is fleeting, but I am sure I will figure something out soon. I am going to try to make the write-ins and the kick-off party. HELLO CLEVELAND!!! Sorry, I got carried away.

I'm hoping to make it to the kick-off party, but I don't know about the write-ins. I'm in Lorain AND battling morning sickness (yes... ick). Between the distance and the barfiness, I hope to meet you all at least once this year. :)

I should be able to make it to the Kick-Off, and I'm hoping my laptop is alive enough to make it to the Thursday nite write-ins!

I am so looking forward to the Kick off party tomorrow! And hopefully I'll be able to go to the Thank Goodness It's Over Party this year, I missed it last year.

Welcome to all the new folks!
I'm going to try and make the Kick-Off party. I've got a Torts class to attend over at Tri-C near there this Saturday morning so I'll be in the area already.

Cool--going to try to make at least one Saturday write-in! Hopefully the one this coming saturday--Fairview isn't too far from me.
Hope everyone is getting some great writing done!!

I'll be there for the 11/28 write in at the Chagrin Falls Library, but I can't make it to any of the other ones. Of course the one in Solon is when I'm out of town. xP.
I hope everyone is having success with their novels so far! :D.
