I'll be sending out emails, but to be sure you all get this:
Tomorrow, Nov. 7, 4pm at Sipping Streams Tea House on College, as previously announced: Our first Write-In (and much more!) We will be handing out the EXCELLENT Nano stickers to all attendees, so make this meeting if you can!
For you new folks: we not only do writing challenges, but we often brainstorm, help each other out with plots, do some writing exercises, get prizes (yep, I do have a couple prizes--I found one I couldn't resist getting when I was at JoAnne the other day). We also get giddy and silly and talk way too much off-topic. :o)
The rest of the month's meetings look like this:
Nov. 14: 4pm to ? Barnes & Noble Coffee Shop. In the shopping center on the Johanson near WalMart. They have great comfy chairs! B&N is open long hours, so if you can't make it at 4, come by later and join the second wave of writers
Nov. 21: 4pm to 6pm Lulu's Bread and Bagels on Chena Pump right across from Justa Store/Gas Station
Nov. 28: 4pm to ? Barnes & Noble Coffee Shop.
The Sipping Streams meeting will probably have to end at 6 at the latest as they have events already scheduled for their room.
The Barnes & Noble meetings can go on until those of you who work until 5 or 6 can arrive. This is quite handy. I might not be able to be there, but Tiana, our new CO-ML very well may be there around 6.
I think it would be great to have an alternate week night meeting for those who can't make it on weekends. As of right now, I *can* make it to these, but that might not stick through the month, depending on my work. Tiana may be able to make some of these, too.
Therefore:
ALTERNATE Weeknight meets:
Thursdays: 6pm at College Coffeehouse.
So mark your calendars and I really want to meet you!
Sending you zippy fingers for your keyboard,

Looking forward to the Barnes and Noble get together on the 14th. I just zoomed past the half way mark (I'm at 27000+) this evening, and I'm stunned and stoked (and a little disturbed at how the characters are writing this one, rather than ME writing this one) all at the same time! Now I get to move on to the truly terrifying bits of the tale. Ya...hoo??? Hmmmm... :-)

I'm looking forward to it too, jmoose! I'm way behind, as usual, but once I get going there's no stopping my characters, either. They sure do take over! I'll see you at 4!

Still trying to figure out the NaNo site so I just managed to find this. Glad I did ^_^ Also glad to find that there's a meeting on Saturday and even more happy that I have this Saturday off!
Participated in NaNoWriMo in '06, '07, and now this year. Never won. Was at 46,000 words on the last day my very first year but I worked the graveyard shift and it was nearing 11pm and I had to go to work.
Really need help this year so I'm happy to see there are meetings in this tiny little town. Guess I'll be meeting everyone on the 21st!
