Where: Xtreme bean
When: During nonworking hours (known as not 8A-5P Mon-Fri) and possibly sleeping hours (Xtreme Bean does close, after all)
For what: catching up on that word count that we will all be behind in

assuming no other NaNo events, and no other obligations, and not working (I posted my working hours above), and not sleeping, I will be at Xtreme Bean. I unfortunately have a very bad habit of writing with extreme... slowness.

So if anyone wants to completely trash me at a word war, you know where to find me. Maybe during this month I might actually increase my typing speed!

I live fairly close to Xtreme Bean. So I may take you up on that offer.

Where is Xtreme Bean located? I would love to have an escape from the chaos that is my life.

I'm there now. :)

Thought I'd give writing-all-night someplace other than home a chance, so I'll be here all night (Friday 20th - morning of Saturday 21st), for any East Valley night owls who need to work on their word count. If it works, maybe I'll come back tomorrow night.

I may need to get out of the house to get anything done. I've had most of a giant monster and cannot keep my eyes open.

I'll be heading there when david gets home from helping a friend move, which may or may not be before the official write-in is over. If the write-in is still going on, then I'll head there till it ends. I am planning on camping out at Xtreme Bean for a looooong time today, though. Maybe I'll see some of you there?

Am and I may head out there if we don't make it to the library for the write-in today. I'm currently at the Saturn dealership where we're waiting for a battery replacement.

We're here, we have coffee, and we're not leaving until we have 30k.

I am also here. I don't know about 30k for me (I'm currently under 10k), but I'll be here until ... well, let's say 20k? Dawn? Something.

I thought for sure that a commitment to write 1,700 words a day would be a piece of cake.

Well, ok, it is.

Too bad that the 35,762 I've written so far is a piece of something that is NOT cake.

It's not pumpkin pie, either.

Currently at bean now.

currently drinking an iced mocha and eating pumpkin cheesecake.

Hopefully the buzz of caffeine and pumpkin stuff will cause a word count burst eventually.

But for right now it is causing me to view Zero Punctuation vids and reading comics.
