Ack. Just moved down to Davidsville less than a year ago, though I can see if any friends of mine are participating this year.

Update on Thursday 7 pm meet up: construction going on at the Broad Ave Church, 29th St and Broad Ave. Let me know if you're interested -- only the 29th street door is available. Let me know if you're coming and I'll put the light on for you.

"Holly Eula" and I will try to come for the first two Thursdays in November. We'll be out of town on the 19th, and of course on Thanksgiving we may have other obligations....
I have a meeting on Thursday this week that starts at 5 and usually ends by 7 so I might be a little late but should be there. Anything we should bring? Munchies, etc.?
Looking forward to meeting you and any other 'Altoids' doing this crazy thing.

Munchies are good -- surprises are too. I'm still on the lookout for Altoid Wrimos -- perhaps this isn't the kind of intellectual stimulation they're after? Beats me. There are usually only a couple. Perhaps I'll check in at the library and see what's shakin' there. A late Wrimo is better than no Wrimo at all!

being the friend that was there... i totally should have looked at this thread at some point saturday. I didn't. oops!

Anyways, we had a great experience at B&N! (except that they had already started christmas music...there should be laws about that!)

I'm resetting and restarting. I just didn't like where what I had was going. I had to do a lot of painting today, so I used the time to get things put in order in my brain. At this point, and since it's a middle reader, I'll consider 35,000 and a completion to be a victory. It may make 50, but the odds look long indeed.

Oh Clipper -- Good luck to you! I've done this after approaching the halfway mark, and for the same reason, and I have to say that the second start was much better. It actually was easier to write too.

Sparkleberry and I are going to be at Panera Bread @ the Logan Towne Center around 6:15 until 7:30 tonight (11-24-09) -- we'll be the two women typing furiously on our laptops with mugs precariously perched beside us.

Well, to make us stand out from the usual denizens, we'll tape a NaNo sign to the table. If you're in town, come and join us!
