Hey guys, I'm new both to Jackson and to NaNoWriMo, but I hear in other places they get together a lot during Nov and just share space. Sometimes there's free flow discussion and ideas, but most times there's just writing in silence -- creating an atmosphere charged with creativity and magic and caffeine jitters and frustrated writer's block. Anybody interested? Let's pick a coffee shop or bookstore where we can rub elbows and pick each other's brains! Once a week to start? Holla if you're with me!
I live in North Jackson, but I can go anywhere, anytime (ah, sweet freedom!)

Hello ~ I'm also in North Jackson and would love to get together either to discuss the whole NaNo thing or just to sit with a few others and write. I'm also pretty flexible on time and place. I work on Mondays and Saturdays but any other time is usually good for me. As a side note, anyone in the area that needs a quiet place to write - I work at the Willie Morris branch of the Jackson-Hinds library system. We have a lovely library with lots of tables and convenient electrical plugs so you can set up your laptops; also, wireless internet.

Thanks for the hint on a quiet place to write -- trying to do so at my house is a [i] disaster[/i]!!!
How about next Tuesday then? What time works for people? Mid-afternoon, or later?

Hey! Another Jackson wrimo here. I'd suggest maybe doing meetings at the Cups in Fondren or the one in the Quarter, they've both got pleasant atmospheres and delicious supplies of caffiene.

Hey everybody,
Did we ever go beyond talking about meeting to doing it?
I'd love to get together.
I thought I heard that Cups closed, so that would leave Borders at Dogwood or B&N on County Line.
I live in Madison, but will drive anywhere in the metro area.
Someone just decide when.
How 'bout tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 20th at 8 pm?
Where?
O.k.
Go WriMos!

Proud of your word count. :)
Best,

Hello everyone,
I am posting on here for one reason and one reason alone. After this past year's NaNoWriMo I became inspired by the effort which Seatle made in achieving the largest combined wordcount in the world (16,757,473 total combined words to be exact). It is that effort that has sparked my vision.
I say that we, the combined elite writers of Mississippi, ban together in combining our wordcounts for November '08 to defeat the superpower of Seatle!
All I need from you is your NaNo account name, an email adress, and a will to commit to the word count goals you set (whether that is 1 word, 50k to win, or whatever more). Please post that information on here so I may add you to the roster for a contribution in the pot of wordcounts.
Also, anyone who would like to help me in gathering other prospective WriMos within the state, or those that would compete for our state from the outside. Please, oh please give me their information as well. Any help will be appreciated in the utmost of fashions.
We can most definitely do this as the Mississippi NaNoWriMo Elite!
