Hey everyone!
Folks are starting to make plans for Nano-related gatherings and I thought a new thread would be a good place to dialogue and organize events.
If you are interested in hosting an event, please post info here.
Thanks!

What about snacks? Should I bring some? I'm a mean baker when I get my mind on the wonders of sugar!

This is pretty informal, but if you're in Gogebic County...
I plan to write a lot of my NaNo this year at Sharon's Coffee Company (formerly the Hurley Coffee Company) on Silver Street in Hurley, WI. Sharon's is open from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. 7 days a week. I'd be down for meeting up to chat for 15 minutes or so before getting down to the business of novel writing on the 1st or on other days in November. I won't be writing there everyday because I do have childcare considerations... but I will be there frequently!

That's at 57055 Fifth Street, Calumet.

I was unable to make today's kick-off. Are you going to do any other write-ins in Calumet, Houghton or the surrounding areas?
I would love to come along.

Scissor--will you post on this thread where exactly in the library it will be, once you find out? I'd be interested in going.
Thanks. =)

I will try to do that---I called for the room and to reserve it, but I will have to pay for it....so my plan is to get there at 1pm Sunday and scope out a place for us...let me figure that out and post tomorrow.

Today's Write-In:
Some of us will be meeting today at Peter White Public Library--I did not reserve a room, but will get us a room and either greet folks in the lobby or leave a note taped up in the lobby directing you to our group....
We will be WRITING at this event--I plan on doing a few 15 and 20 minute timed writing sprints and invite you to play along! Some wrimos have reported 500+ word counts during 20/30 minute sprints.
Can't wait to see you!

Hey all, wish I could make some of the gatherings from the West end, but I won't be in Mqt. for a while. Is there anyone living in or around the Sault that might want to meet up at Penny's Kitchen or Bayliss Public Library at some point for a write-in? Let me know if you're interested and maybe we could set something up.

How about another write-in?? I am way behind and could use and event to plant my butt in a chair.
