November is just around the corner and I hope everyone is getting ready to go, whether it be fingers to keyboard, pencil to paper, or practicing your smoke signaling mojo. November also means that there will be write-ins, and several of those will be scheduled in Moscow throughout the month.
If you haven't been to a write-in before, it's basically a meeting of Nanowrimo participants where everyone can compose their novels among fellow writers. It's not required that you attend, but a write-in can be a bit of a social break too--after all, writing is primarily a lonely business. People can write on their own, brainstorm about the next part of their plots, or even chat and vent out frustrations when the novel isn't going so well. Just bring a laptop or paper plus writing utensil and you'll be set to go.
Currently, the write-in schedule is as follows:
11/3, Saturday, 1-4pm, Sister's Brew
11/10, Saturday, 2:15-4pm, TBD
11/17, Saturday, 1-4pm, TBD
11/24, Saturday, 1-4pm, TBD
At Sister's Brew (the corner of 3rd and Main), we will be meeting in the back room with the nice big table. Right now TBD = Sister's Brew, but I will be calling a couple places to see if I can reserve some other venues. If anyone wants to organize their own write-ins during the weekdays rather than the weekend, feel free to post when and where you're meeting in this thread. Also, the TGIO party is tentatively scheduled for 12/1 Saturday, 1-4pm at Sister's Brew, but tune in late November for an actual thread to discuss the times/places which might work for everyone.
For up-to-date info on the Moscow write-ins and links to other write-ins in the area (Pullman), check this thread frequently as well as the Events Calendar ( http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/og_calendar/21 ). If you have any questions/comments/suggestions or just want to say that you will be attending one of these events, reply to this thread or feel free to contact your municipal liaisons (me or Kamiah).

I just wanted to say that it was excellent seeing everyone at the first write-in. Very cool to see everyone hard at work--typing or scribbling away!
I'm still trying to get a hold of Bucer's to get a room reserved for our next write-in. I finally got to talk to someone, but they referred me to an e-mail address, so we'll see how that goes. Whether or not this falls through, I will post an update again, at least by Thursday.
Meanwhile, happy noveling!

End of first week reminders about write-ins:
In Moscow: 11/10, Saturday, 2:15-4pm, Sister's Brew*
In Pullman: 11/9, Friday, 6pm, Bagels & Brew
*After repeated attempts of trying to contact Bucer's management, I have given up at doing an organized write-in at that place. Of course, if people are okay with just showing up there at another time and scrambling for tables, that's cool with me. Suggest some times and I'll put it on the events calendar.
