Venue: Paperchase Cafe, 5228 Blowers St
Time: 2pm onwards
This is an unofficial kick-off meet-n-greet for newcomers to get comfy, ask questions, and we'll also have a few rounds of "Little Timmy's Adventures"! (For newcomers, this is a story we make up together.) And if we have enough newbies, we'll break out the Eye of Argon!
But as usual, I need a headcount!
All those who're coming to this, say YAY!

I know it's a little early to be planning what I'm doing at the end of October, but I'm going to say I might be going... I think I said I was going to show up last year and didn't, but it was raining really hard... so yay! - maybe.

If it rains, it rains words. This is how: if you come out while it's raining really hard, you might get sick, which will get you a doctor's note to avoid work / school / whathaveyou for the first two weeks of November giving you a lot of time to have a headstart in your wordcount!!!
And that was terrible advice but I just had a lot of chocolate.

Man.
If it's a dark and stormy night, all the better to get out there and prepare to start writing your novel.

Since I'll be child-less on this weekend, I'll probably swing out for a follow-up hello.
Besides, I remember a gauntlet being thrown down regarding some Argonian Eye (whatever that is).
I should warn you, though. In true fashion of all Renaissance men, one of my many skill-sets includes reading things in deadpan fashion. So bring on the tripe.

ARGH, I CAN'T MAKE IT!!! ;_; I haven't seen my mom since school started, and I've been invited to her place and I can't say no. ={
Jaymee, can you take pictures for me to put in the Journal? :D

And I haven't seen my dad since May. What's your deal? Doesn't she live in this province? =P
I don't know if I'll remember to bring my camera. You'll just have to come for the Kick-off or the Write-In Extravaganza!
See the rest of you tomorrow!! I'm psyched already!

It appears this was an outright fabrication, as I should have had an odd number of negatives - tomorrow shall be an exciting day of chores and stew-making, and unfortunately no nano meetups.

This is why I am frustrated and sort of need to go see her! LOL. Obviously I've been busy with school, and... I guess just a series of strange events have led to us missing each other entirely. Which is why I can't say no. Maybe I'll be lucky enough after a turkey dinner to peek in and see what's going on. I kinda want to grab some photos and some amusing Jaymee dialogue for quotation. (I wish article writing could count toward my NaNo.)
