ashneko — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:21:16 +0000

Greetings one and all!

If you are in PG or any of the surrounding areas this is where we will be posting about events going on here in our lovely town throughout the month of November.

As it stands right now, there will be a get together on each Sunday throughout the month at the Prince George Public Library (times to be posted when I have them!)

We will have guest speakers as well as coffee/ tea and snacks! Also, the first Sunday of December will be a celebration/thank heaven it's over!

;)

If you have any questions or comments, please just post here or message me!

Nanamo & Area

Hi Everyone!

I'd love to get together with other NaNoWriMo participants in the area this year, especially as I'm new to the area. Don't mind organizing events, either - just say hi. :)

Also, I'm actually in Qualicum Beach, but have no issue traveling to Nanaimo or Parksville, especially if meetings were during the day.

Kootenays

california dreaming — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 21:40:13 +0000

Hey, where are you guys? Here I am, transplanted in coastal CA for the second year, but ready to write with my Kootenay favorites again, and nobody has signed up yet! Come on, all, let's get off our duffs and get ready to write!

Who else is out there? Who's going to be ready to write like mad, to share on the annual post-NaNo cruise?

Kootenay Meet-up Info

Aurora Victor Eleos — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:05:34 +0000

Hey there Kootenay Peeps!

Nano starts on a Sunday this year, so we'll be sweating out those first couple pages together at one of our traditional Sunday Write-Ins. Momentum is so important, as is the group support factor, so don't miss this.

The first one will be Nov 1 at 1 pm at Common Grounds in Castlegar. This is in the plaza that has the big Dairy Queen sign right on the highway. Bring your laptops if you have 'em. We'll spend the first half hour introducing ourselves and our work-in-progress, then plug in and get to work. If you don't have a lap-top, see if you can borrow one and email the work you get done to yourself.

We usually switch between Nelson and Castlegar places to meet, and we'll decide at the end of this meeting where the next one will be.

Looking forward to typing with you,

Aurora/Bonne

BC Elsewhere chat room

CW Tyger — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:25:25 +0000

I noticed in another thread that the idea of a chat has been thrown about, but not much has been done with the idea. Would this be something everyone wants? And if so, where should we hold it, and when? It won't be too difficult to set up a chat in IRC or on AIM or something. Tinychat was even suggested as a possibility. What would everyone be comfortable with using?
----------
"And maybe it's just meant to be
Maybe you'll find a way to hold me
Come back and sing a melody to me
Maybe we're just lost at sea
Maybe I'm holding on to driftwood
And I'll be alright if you could
Sing to me"

Come visit when you're out of ideas, or when you feel up to a challenge.

Terrace and Kitimat!

love-Spencer — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:58:22 +0000

Hey,

Basically haunting the forums of Nano as I have been for the past few days, I thought us North-West-BC-ites (...?) should have a place to call our own. This year one of my friends and I are thinking of holding a gathering on November 7 at the Elephant's Ear in Terrace; let me know what you think! Good luck with your writing--even though November is still a long time away,

Erika

PS: I had to edit that sooo many times! Ugh, I'm so out of practice.

All right, didn't see a specific thread for this town, so I thought I'd give it a shot!

I actually don't live there anymore (or in BC), but I just moved out, so I'd still love to see how many people are from my old hometown <3

EVERYMAN (and Woman) of BC-Elsewhere

Constance_providence — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:52:20 +0000

Hi guys!

Welcome to a new Nano-year! I know we're going to have more wins this year, and more fun than ever.

Last I checked, 28% of us are, as one gal in the Kootenay region put it "Nanovirgins".
Can I get 3 cheers for the fresh meat? *ahem* I ,... mean... fellow masochists? no... no that can't be right...

3 Cheers for new recruits! (that sounds less gory, whew)

I know we all tend to focus on our meetup and nearby nano-neighbors, but lets all take the time to hop in here and help foster Elsewhere spirit, shall we?
After all.... in one way or another,... every single one of us is "Beyond Hope"!

Also, since with Elenya apparently defected as our ML to join those Vancouverites, it seems our free IRC chat disappeared as well, so anyone with a suggestion for some live chat/procrastination/wordwar stuff. Unless I'm wrong, in which case... speak up ppls! We needz the livechat!

Hi, I'm on Salt Spring,
I 'm not looking for meetings, or a buddy group really, it would just be nice to touch bases occasionally with someone also tearing their hair out or not feeding the teenagers and hubby due to writing 50,000 in one month ...
Any one out there?
