Dear WriMo's, my school is having a literary celebration on Nov.17 at the Barnes and Nobles in Kendall. Students from my school, including myself, will be reading different poems and excerpts from stories. Also, a portion of all money spent that night will be donated to my school's library. If you could please go and support us, I'd really appreciate it! I don't know what time it's at yet but I'll let you all know soon. Thank you! (Plus, you might even be able to make a write-in out of it.)

Sounds fun, I'll be happy to give my support! I'll let you know if I can make it, but if you could give an exact address, maybe? That would help me...

I found out the exact time. It'll be starting at 6:30 and it'll go on until 8:00. Also, at the entrance, some students will be handing out vouchers. If you want your money to help benefit my school, please grab one of these vouchers and give it to the cashier if you buy something. Once again, thank you all so much!

I'll be there! I have two readers there that night. Would be great to see other Wrimo's there also even though I can't participate this year.

Map1124... congratulations on doing NaNoWriMo this year! Your principal let me know that you were participating and I believe one of the teachers is also, right?

OK.. enough chit chat... Write on!

Oh, nice to know that you're part of the CEA family ink! Can't wait to see you there. For all you other NaNos who will be coming, I'd like to be able to meet up with you. I will be reading but I don't know what time I'll be reading at. Bascially, just look for the student with a NaNoWriMo sign. I'll make one before I go so that you can spot me. Thanks again!

When you say CEA, do you mean Conchita Espinosa Academy?

Just wanted to remind all of you who are going tomorrow that the Literary Celebration starts at 6:30 and ends around 8:30. I'll be readin one of my own poems some time between 7:50 and 8:00. See you there! (I'll be making a very noticeable NaNoWriMo sign, but if not I'll probably be one of the students manning a video camera around the store.)

Unfortunately, lack of consensus on moving the write-in means that I'll be over at Panera tomorrow. But if no one shows up then I'll abandon ship and move over to this. In case I don't make it, break a leg and have a blast!

Hi, Map!

Sorry, but I'm working tonight at my own B&N at Sunset, but this sounds great and I'm sending you all the lit-luck in the world! Break a leg!

These are really fun events, folks; those of you who can attend are in for an exciting, high-energy time. And don't let the employees pushing nooks or member cards get you down - we HAVE to do that. No really, we do.

Read 'em their writes, Map!

That's a real long way fighting traffic for me, but I'll try to make it if I get out of work on time and not late.

Good luck tonight! Would love to come, but I'm presenting a program for a women's group at church.

Sorry to hear a few of you can't make it, but I thank you so much for just considering it!

I made it! I'm sitting at the cafe, I ran into someone else, and I'm just going to reach my goal today of 30K before I head out. For everyone at Panera... Good Luck! Maybe I'll go there next week. :)

Sorry I didn't see you luna! I met up with LightHush, but I was in a hurry so I wasn't able to take a second to walk around with my small NaNo sign. Thanks for going anyway!

So how did it go? Did you have a good time? How was your reading?

My reading went fine, thank you last! I mean, many people didn't understand it since my free-verse needs to be read to be fully understood. You can't just listen and grasp the concept. Anyway, thanks for trying Andreinne! It's the thought that counts. Hope you guys got a lot done at the Panera write-in!
