My favorite part of NaNoWriMo is the write-ins. I love meeting other writers, ingesting large quantities of sweets such as the delicious lemon cake we found at one cafe one year, plus lots of caffeine and other pastries. Plowing away at my word count and enjoying the company of others having fun reaching for the same creative goal feels great.
I have already begun searching for potential write-in locations, but I'm curious as to what other people have found or think would be a good place. Basically, a place where people can come and (maybe) plug in their laptop if need be or bring a pad and paper and write/chat/write/eat/write....write...
If you want to host a write-in, you can do that simply by announcing it this thread and putting it on the group calendar. If you cannot find the link, let me know. You only need tell us the date, beginning and ending time (usually 2-3 hours but people can stay longer if they like of course), name of the place and exact address. The best days tend to be weekends but they are also held in the evenings during the week.
It can be any coffee bar or cafe. Get there early and save a few seats. It is a good idea if people confirm they are coming so you have an idea how many seats to hold.
Where's your favorite spot to write in your area of Denmark that we could use as a place for a write-in?
*********************
Min favorit del af Nanowrimo er "write-ins". Jeg elsker at møde andre forfattere, indtage store mængder af wienerbrod/kage, såsom lækre citron kage fandt vi på en cafe et år, plus masser af koffein og andre kager. Pløje løs på mit ord tæller, og nyder andres selskab have det sjovt nå frem til samme kreative mål føles stor.
Jeg er allerede begyndt at søge efter potentielle write-in steder, men jeg er spændt på, hvad andre mennesker har fundet, eller tror ville være et godt sted. Dybest set, et sted hvor folk kan komme og (måske) stik i deres laptop, hvis nødvendigt, eller bringe en blok og papir og skrive / chatte / skrive / spise / skrive....skrive ...
Hvis du ønsker at være vært for et write-in, kan du gøre det blot ved at annoncere det denne tråd, og sætte det på gruppens kalender. Hvis du ikke kan finde linket, så lad mig det vide. Du behøver kun fortælle os det tidspunkt, start-og sluttidspunkt (som regel 2-3 timer, men folk kan blive længere, hvis de har lyst,selvfølgelig), navnet på det sted og nøjagtige adresse. Den bedste dag en tendens til at være i weekenden, men de er også afholdes om aftenen i løbet af ugen.
Det kan være noget kaffe bar eller cafe. Kom der tidligt og spare et par pladser. Det er en god idé, hvis folk bekræfte de kommer, så du har en idé om, hvor mange pladser til at holde.
Hvor er dit foretrukne sted for at skrive i dit område af Danmark, at vi kunne bruge som et sted for en write-in?

Hehe! I'm going to be daring and bold and suggest a weekend write-in on Ærø!!
*chuckles* Though I do seriously doubt people will take that suggestion to heart.
I would love to come to a write-in but will probably have to decline. For some strange reason stuff has been piling onto the November section of my calendar even though I've been trying to keep it clear. But I will keep an eye on this thread - you never know what might happen.
(And if anyone actually is up for coming down here don't hesitate to let me know!)

Hey!
I do not know how to get to Æro and honestly have not looked at the map to see where in Denmark it is, but if you can tell us how to get there, nothing is impossible from the start. I think I am not able to realy travel this month until the last weekend of NaNoWriMo. Should we bring our pajamas and a sleeping bag?//
Hej!
Jeg ved ikke, hvordan man kommer til Ærø og ærligt har ikke kigget på kortet for at se, hvor i Danmark det er, men hvis du kan fortælle os, hvordan man kommer dertil, intet er umuligt fra starten. Jeg tror, jeg er ikke i stand til virkelig at rejse i denne måned, indtil den sidste weekend af Nanowrimo. Skal vi bringe vores pyjamas og en sovepose?

We who came to the Copenhagen Kickoff brainstormed a few places for write-ins.
The next step is for people to decide they want to host the write-in. As I have written earlier, hosting a write-in is easy. You decide you will do it. You find a place, typically that has some plugs people can use. Most cafes have some area where people can sit near plugs. If you have one of those cable extension that many plugs can fit into you could bring that. Download one of the signs NaNoWriMo makes for write-ins or make on yourself and put it where you are sitting. Tell us what time to be there and then just stay for about 2 hours. Of people want to stay longer they can.
Sometimes it is helpful to ask the owner a week before if you can put up a NaNoWriMo poster because sometimes new people join after seeing the poster and they come to the write-in becuase it is at a cafe they like.
You should be able to post the write-in you host on the group calendar. I will find the link.
Here are the places people mentioned for write-ins:
Skjalm's Luxury Bagsværd Man Cave (heehee)
The Landromat Cafe in Nørrebro
Cafe Moccador in Amager
The KU Amager Kantine (cheap 4kr cups of coffee)
Studenterhuset (but not on a Wednesday night)
**********************
Vi, der kom til København Kickoff brainstormed et par steder for skrive-ins.
Det næste skridt er for folk til at vælge de ønsker at være vært for skrive-in. Som jeg har skrevet tidligere, er vært for et skrive-in er nemt. Du beslutter dig vil gøre det. Du finder et sted, typisk som har nogle propper folk kan bruge. De fleste caféer har nogle områder, hvor folk kan sidde i nærheden af stik. Hvis du har en af dem kabel udvidelse, at mange stik kan passe ind du kan bringe. Hent en af de tegn Nanowrimo gør for skrive-ins eller gøre for dig selv og lægge det, hvor du sidder. Fortæl os, hvad tid til at være der og så bare blive i ca 2 timer. Af mennesker ønsker at blive længere, de kan.
Nogle gange er det nyttigt at spørge ejeren en uge før, hvis du kan sætte en Nanowrimo plakat, fordi nogle gange nye mennesker slutte efter at have set plakaten og de kommer til at skrive ind, fordi det er på en cafe, de kan lide.
Du bør være i stand til at sende de skrive-in du vært på gruppens kalender. Jeg vil finde linket.
Her er de steder, folk, der er nævnt for skrive-ins:
Skjalm's Luksus Bagsværd Mand Grotte (heehee)
Den Landromat Cafe på Nørrebro
Cafe Moccador på Amager
KU Amager Kantine (billige 4kr kopper kaffe)
Studenterhuset (men ikke på onsdag nat)

Ma mia donna - of course I´d go to Ærø if only to see you! By some marvellous twist of fate I seem to have the secondlast AND last weekends of November on my hands, so may I get back to you once I sort out absence permission with my family?

I suppose if I want one in South-ish Jutland then I need to think of places where we could assemble. ARGH. Anyone else in the area who knows good cafes? I hang out more in Arhus really...
and it is not as if I can get in contact with cafes and book tables without running the gauntlet of "HVAD SIGER HUN!?"

Would you need to tell the personnel at the cafe, that you are going to be a few people sitting for a few hours with our computers? Does one have to call in advance and ask for permission?

Hvis du ved, at det vil være en stor mængde poeople ved skrive-in, så er det godt at fortælle personalet. Ellers, hvis det er et sted, hvor folk normalt tager deres bærbare computere, så det bør ikke være et problem.
Det normalt er godt at komme der, før tiden, hvis du er vært for det, og reservere nogle pladser.
Lav en separat tråd til at skrive ind og bede folk om at skrive, at de kommer, så du har en ide om, hvor mange mennesker vil komme.
Ingen har nogensinde haft behov for tilladelse. Normalt cafe ejere er glade for at få virksomheden.
Det kan også være godt, hvis du kender mindst en uge før, at udskrive et par af de NaNo skrive-på** plakater fra hjemmesiden og spørge cafe personale, hvis du kan annoncere det der. Jeg har aldrig haft nogen sige NEJ.

Make a separate thread for the write-in and ask people to post that they are coming so you have a general idea of how many people will come.
No one has ever needed permission. Usually cafe owners are glad to get the business.
It can also be good if you know at least a week before, to print a few of the NaNo write-in posters from the website and ask the cafe personnel if you can advertise it there. I have never had anyone say NO.
**I never know....would it be skrive-på. skrive-ind or just use the English phrase write-in??

Jeg tjekkede lige hvad de kalder det ovre i det norske regional forum. De er tit bedre til at få oversat engelske ord og de snakker udelukkende om ”skrivetreff”. Og på dansk dækker ordet ”skrivetræf” vel også meget godt det, at man mødes for at skrive.
I just checked the norwegian regional forum, to see what word they use for ”write-in”. They often translate more English words, and they don’t talk about “write-ins” but about “skrivetreff”. And I think in Danish the word “skrivetræf” could be used to describe that you get together to write.

Skrivetræf definitely sounds better and conveys the meaning more clearly than indskrivning. Indskrivning is what you do when you type handwritten material into the computer or write a draft into a finished document.
Additionally: Yes! Lynfabrikken is made of cookies and awesome.
