This is my first year doing NaNo, and I don't have any experience of Write-Ins. I have been to several saturday workshops, but that was different because I didn't work on my book there. So for the veterns amongst you, what did you like the most about the previous write-ins you attended? |

For me, the Write-Ins are about the company - I've made some really good friends at Write-Ins over the past few years and it's great to be with people who encourage me as well as looking at me in disbelief and telling me I should be doing more important things than trying to write a trashy novel very quickly.
Funnily enough, the journey to Write-Ins is where I get some of my best plotting done because I have time to think, and then I'm raring to go by the time I arrive.

My favourite part is being with people that are doing the same thing as me as just being in that environment helps me keep writing. The company was fun, the environment was open and accepting, there was food when required and the wine was lovely and necessary towards the end of the week.

Write-ins definitely aren't about the writing for me, the "in" is more important. I think I've probably managed to write a grand total of about 45 words at write-ins over the last two years. I enjoy meeting with other people who are mental enough to be doing Nanowrimo, and I get a weird kick out of encouraging other people to write like there's no tomorrow. ;-)

Write-in: noun - Any gathering of Wrimos* during November, especially where procrastination and talking about everything except writing takes place.
*Wrimo: noun - Any person able to convince themself (or be convinced by another) that attempting to write 50,000 or more words in a single month is a really really good idea.

I must admit, it's meeting all the other local writers that's encouraging me to attend, because all the other writing buddies I have are online, and usually quite far away. I have been to couple of writers workshop, but those were for beginners and a lot of people there were actually afraid to write. So to meet people who think they can do 50K in a month would be a refreshing change.
