Exempting your home and write-in locations, where will you be writing this year? Cafes, bars, in between classes?

I'm planning on scribbling away on buses around my city and on breaks between classes, then typing up when I get home. Last year I booked my classes into computer rooms to 'work on visual aids' for presentations and stood at the front and typed into my email account. Anyone got any other sneaky tricks for writing while apparently working?

Yet to see if this will work, since I never seem to have time to do anything else during this block but... my class are doing the Young Writers' Program this year - once they're set up I'm hoping to get a little done while they write.

Write-ins will be distributed around the city so this year I get to put the portability of the EEEPC to the test with treks on the trains here during peak hour, too.

I can't write with noise, music, or other people around, so ideally I'll leave the country for the entire month...

I think I'll be schlepping my laptop to and from school on days where I have a break so I can type at my desk. Otherwise writing on sticky pads and taking them home and typing them up.

I'm trying to get a Korean friend of mine in on NaNo this year, and if thats the case, I can see mid-week write-ins happening at his apartment (Anam, anyone?) as well as mine.

I think I'll be writing by hand, so I plan to visit LOTS of coffee shops and bars. I think it would be entirely possible to write the whole novel and visit a new cafe/bar every single day. And on buses, and on park benches, and in the subway stations. Anywhere I can prop my composition book on my knee for a few moment to scribble a bit more.

FYI: I live out in Bundang/Jukjeon area. (I'm closest to Ori Stn, on the Bundang line) If anyone is interested in meeting up for coffee or a beer and cranking out some words: NaNo mail me or email me at lastlivingpoet@yahoo.com

I thought it would be the local coffee shop, and maybe I will try that again, but I've been most productive at home. I pick away at it a few hundred words at a time.

Most of my writing has been done at school. I lug my lap top to work and write there ... in between doing actual worky type stuffs.

My laptop's borked, so I've been doing most of my writing on school computers and in PC-bangs. Need to fix the laptop post-haste, I think!

not to be a vocab nazi (ok just a little bit), to bork would mean you're computer was roundly walloped in confirmation and or ruined politically. However, that's gentleman's scrabble, in street-scrabble, you could get by with a round walloping leading to absolute failure. Which in this case seems appropriate. Shed those gloves! Bork on!

ps. I had to look it up... ;)

I wrote wherever I can. My son's Tae Kwon Do class was the place where I accomplished most of it today! In a notebook. My hand was cramped after an hour of intense work.
