We will be meeting at Wildermuth Library on Lake Street in Gary from 5:30-7:30 beginning Monday Oct. 26. If I can get an idea in advance as far as attendance, we can try to start with caffeine and sugar (coffee & cookies). This will naturally be a pencil-sharpening, outline working meeting.
We'll be continuing after NaNo, but anyone wanting local support will be welcome. The branch has wi-fi now, tho it's still being tweaked, so you can bring laptops/netbooks/alphasmarts/ipods/blackberries and get your netfix or update your word count .
Anyone interested in details or directions can email me thru nano or post here.
Look forward to seeing some of you soon!

Just so folks know: The "Highland Writers Group" meets at the Merrillville Borders every Saturday at 3:30 PM. Several of the members there have been published - the latest being Mike Poore who is in this month's "Asimov" magazine. They have also published an anthology of member works (many years ago and yours-truly was a contributor).
This group started off at the Highland Border's (hence, the name) but is looking for a new location closer to the Indiana/Illinois border (preferably a coffee shop as many of the members are "caff-fiends". If you'd like to attend and get critiques of your work, bring 10 copies of no more than 10 pages of a short story/novel or some of your poetry and feel free to join in. They're a friendly bunch and not prone to eating newbies alive... they like them slow-roasted.
You can find them on My Space... www.myspace.com/highlandwritersgroup
There are also two other groups in the area - Write On Hoosiers and Writers Expressions (the latter of which meets at the Merrillville Borders as well - on Wednesday nights, I believe).
See you all on November 1
