Welcome to the Meet-up/Write-in thread. If you feel like hosting a write-in or meet-up post the Date/Time/Location/Details here to invite others from the St. Pete Nano group. (I’ll try to get them on the calendar as time permits)
Remember, there is a difference between a meet-up and a write-in.
Write-ins are mostly intended for gaining word count (a great time for word wars/ caffeine reloads/ change of scenery/ friendly competition). Socializing will happen, but it’s not the main focus.
Meet-ups tend to be more social, yes, writing can take place but it tends to be more of a recharge time (share funny stories of hardships and troubles in your novel or your life thanks to Nano/ an excuse to get away from the computer for an hour or so and get to know your fellow Nano members/find inspiration in people watching/ talk out a troublesome plot point in hopes of forcing past the dreaded writer’s block).
You can also post pre-nano planning sessions for October if you would like. Make sure it is clear in your post that this is an OCTOBER event/Pre-NaNoWriMo so that no one gets confused.
We look forward to meeting you all in person at some point in November!

If anyone's interested in doing something on weekends or possibly Thursday mornings at the Borders bookstore at Tyrone Mall, that's a good location for me.

That also works for me as well. What time were you thinking? Particularly for Thursday mornings, as I have class at 11. xD

I'm game on any Monday or Wednesday after five. Other days are really hard for me with one vehicle and night-working husband and a toddler.
Anyone interested in the Starbucks at Bardmoor on a Monday night?

Dang. I go to SPC, Clearwater campus, so 4 days a week I walk past that Bay Coast Coffee. I can't go on Sundays, though.
Anyone for Tuesday afternoons there?

If we're talking weekends, I can probably make it.

Is anyone still interested in trying to meet at the Tyrone Borders? If so, lets see if we can't find a good time for us all. If we want to do Saturday, the earliest I can meet is 3pm. How is that for everyone else?

Saturday at Tyrone Borders would work for me. I work/write late so 3 or after is also perfect

I could probably do one or two at the Tyrone Borders. After 3 is good - after 4 is better.

I go to the Clearwater campus, too. I have school-based hours to do on Tuesdays, but the afternoons should be fine. I can meet at the coffee place or on campus.

We can do it every Saturday. I'm willing to if others are.
As for finding each other...well, I guess telling you to look for the shy, geeky looking guy in a Borders won't help much so maybe I'll print out a sign or something.

I can do every saturday except for the 15th as far as I know.
Would we go today?
Or start next saturday?
I think everyone that wants to go should switch screenames or something so we can plan out things?

Well, I'm going to be there today, certainly. I do hope other people show up or else I'll feel rather silly.
Anyway, what do you mean by switching screen names?

Well I always am having trouble getting on the nanosite so if we all switched screenames or if you guys have livejournals etc it would be a faster way of communicating?
And its at 3 today? because if so I will be there. We are meeting in that cafe thing?
