NaNo at VCU

Hi frejzch,

My son Chris goes to VCU and so you can usually find me between 5pm and 9pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Panera Bread at Laurel and Grace Street. Not sure if he's going to have time this year for NaNo, but he most likely will make the attempt anyway.

If you'd like to meet up at Panera, give me a call so I know you'll be there. Look for the black fedora, that will be me.

Write-on,

SammyD

I wish I could say I go to VCU, but I'm at community at the moment and I'm going to transfer there within the next year or so. I hang out there all the time though, does that count? : )

NaNoWriMo2009: Son of the Father (first attempt!)

Allo, I'm a costume design major at VCU ^_^. Trying to manage to get all my projects and things done plus Nanowrimo this year. I've only managed it once before (2004) but I'm thinking it's a good opportunity to cut out a large chunk of the second novel in the series/trilogy I'm working on.
the name's Jennifer Anne btw, nice to meet you.

Bio Major at VCU!

I'm at VCU every day (because I work there). So, I'll probably be hanging around Panera a lot too. It's really comfortable in there, and I can see lots of nights with their soup in a bread bowl in my future.. I'm thinking I'll be there during my lunch breaks, and probably after work if I don't quite feel like heading home. Maybe even early in the morning before work if I'm motivated to get up that early.

-to thine own self be true-

Yes! Replies! I'm so psyched!

You know, I haven't yet had the chance to try out that Panera. I saw them building it all last year and I guess somehow in my mind it just isn't done? Hmm. But if they've got wifi then maybe I'll start hanging out there in the evenings, too. The "free high speed internet" at my apartment isn't so high speed with everyone trying to do their homework *coughcoughchecktheirfacebookcoughcough* on it. Anyone know if they take Dining Dollars? ;D (probably not, huh . . . )

Hey,

I attend VCU also. this is my first time doing NaNo, so having a motivation buddy would be great. :)

Haha--awesome.

I might not be a VCUer anymore, but I know a lot about the campus. English Major: Minor in British Studies. So you can imagine the things I read. LOL.

If you VCUers wanna hook up, Xtreme Pizza has some of the best pizza, Panera the best environment to write in, and Cold Stone the best desserts! There's a few gemmy places we could meet up, take our goodies to and not be noticed...*looks all shifty-eyed*

'May God and the Angel of Music grant you their Divine protection!'

I'm a senior at VCU, and can be found working nights at Crossroads Coffee and Icecream when I'm not in classes. It's a pretty popular place for people to lurk and study, write, gather in groups for hours, ect. Anyway shoot me an email at reillyec @ gmail.com if you want to hang out and compare ADVENTURES. i mean, nano experiences. This is my first time, after years of watching it happen and wanting to do it. :) I wrote 25k words on a project over a very short period this summer and it gave me much more confidence than I had before in my ability to do this! And as college students, we get the lovely balance... finals... work... and nanonovel. Glad there are people as crazy as I am to do this.

Sometimes the dream is real.

I teach at VCU - Engl200 and this is my first time NaNoing too. The discipline is really working for me. I love crossroads, but this week is crazy how about next week? T

Music ed major here! Could we maybe designate a corner of the second floor of the library as the unofficial NaNo area, just as a place to meet up occasionally? The second floor is supposed to be for groups.

Yay! So many other VCU students doing NaNo! I'm an English major. :D

I wonder if we could schedule a write in on a Sunday at the library... I am pretty sure that the Librarians would be willing to set aside a area if we ask/arrange something. (I work in a library in another system, and that kind of stuff happens a lot.)

But if anyone just wants to meet up just to chat and gripe about NaNo, just PM!

I do have a part time job though... so my schedule is kinda crazy. Ah well. Such is life. *shrugs*

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original.

Hi! I'm a Ref Librarian at the VCU Cabell Branch. Having a write in at the library would be super easy though we don't really reserve rooms or areas for things like that. All of the study rooms are first come first serve. The second floor is indeed a good spot though and its very easy to set up group wise. So long as you stay away from the 4th floor I think a write in in the library is a good idea!

I'm here from 1-5 Wednesday-Friday on the ref desk, so if you want to come complain about your word count not going anywhere (like mine) feel free! I'm the one with glasses and hair that is either frizzing out or bound in pig tails. I'm also almost always texting...I know I know...I should be writing!

I could probably find out by googling, but where is crossroads coffee? I haven't heard of it.

Sundays the library tends to be really hectic (people doing their last minute stuff for monday, etc) but yeah, the second floor even has little study rooms, so it works out great. And even if you can't get a room you can usually snag a corner with a few tables.

Crossroads is by the school of dance building... it's on morris st between floyd and main. Right by the papa johns on that corner.

I'm done working for the week and I'm out of town this weekend buuuut if you're in there at night I'm the tall skinny barrista with medium length dyed red hair and glasses.

Sometimes the dream is real.

Well, I'm not attending the same school you are, but I am a arthur who is currently attending John Tyler Community College (at the Chester Campus) in Chesterfield.

I hereby declare the big table in the back left corner of the second floor of Cabell Library the unofficial NaNo table! It's the one that looks like six desks pushed together, with the surge protector in the middle.

We should have something that marks us to each other, like a secret handshake or the Green Lantern rings or something.

We could each have a sign saying "nanowrimo" in whatever crazy colors we want and put it up when any one of us is writing... In fact, I shall do just that. We could also make tinfoil crowns or perhaps hats with feathers in.

Sometimes the dream is real.

But only if we can call it macaroni!
