Hamburg?

At your service, Ma'am

Don't know if there will be write-ins. Shall we start a kick-off?
Rainer? What about you? You owe me a personal meeting :))

Jeg forstår ikke hvad du taler om Susanne. Men når nogen har nogle ideer hvor eller hvornår vi kan tale til hinanden, så kommer jeg muligvis.
Ach was sind wir Hamburger doch wieder einmal kosmopolitisch. Sogar Deutsch wird bei uns verstanden.

Übrigens erwäge ich ernsthaft eine parallele Geschichte in Dänisch zu schreiben. Dabei geht es um einen seltsamen Puppenladen, voller widersprüchlicher Dinge. Täglich fallen dem Kobold neue Dinge ein die dieser Holzkopf gut findet. Dabei versucht er sich nur um die eigentliche Arbeit an der diesjährigen Idee zu drücken.

Ach, du alter Kobold,

jetzt ist mir vor lauter Schreck über die mir fremde Sprache doch glatt das Frühstücksbrot auf die gemarmeladete Seite gefallen :)).

An der diesjährigen Idee würde ich ja auch schon gerne mal kratzen - wenn ich denn eine hätte. Aber das war ja letztes Mal auch nicht anders. Hatte ich schon erzählt, dass ich wegen eigener Dusseligkeit meinen kompletten 54.500er gelöscht habe?

Puppenladen gefällt mir. Horror oder Surreal?

Aber Susanne,
ich würde doch nie Horror schreiben. Nein, es handelt sich – wie auch in einem post es schon vorkam, um skurille Figürchen. Schau einfach mal bei >Es geht wieder los - oder?< rein, dann siehst du schon, was mir so durch den Holzkopf geht.

Seine tausende Worte verlieren, wie sprachlos warst du denn da?

Kann mir nicht passieren, ich habe so viele Kopien, ich weiß meist nicht, welche denn gerade gültig ist. Und was die Vorbereitungen angeht - ich hatte mir im Februar nachdem der Ärger mit den Zähnen überstanden war, vorgenommen Schreiben zu lernen. Einfach eine Geschichte nachmachen (nein, nicht plagiieren, nur üben) und was ist dabei rausgekommen? Eine Idee, bei der von der ursprünglichen Idee nur übrigblieb, daß es Menschen sind, mit denen ich arbeiten will. Natürlich wird alles gigantisch, wenn ich es denn überhaupt auf die Reihe bekomme. Also genaugenommen soll es die Geschichte einer Insel seit der ersten Besiedlung in prähistorischer Zeit bis zum Beginn eines Industriezeitalters werden. Das läßt sich aber nur in mehreren Schritten machen, weswegen ich versuchen möchten mit dem Schluß zu beginnen.

Oh! Life!

Oh we should definately get together. I don't have enough author aquaintances, and the ones I have live on the other side of the globe. I knew there were writers in Hamburg....they are just well hidden!

Should we meet up sometime this month? For coffee and cookies :D and, hopefully, plot bunnies on our tails. The best days for me are Monday evenings. Or weekends. I suppose I can also do early afternoons as long as we would meet in the city.

i might be able to make it on a weekend. i'm not from hamburg, but i have a friend i could stay with.

Weekend would be great in case my daughter wants to join us (although I will do ANYTHING to have her see a friend :)).

Shall we start on Nov. 1 in the afternoon ?
That would suit me best since I expect two projects until the end of october.

November 1st sounds good to me! How old is your daughter? Maybe you can make her write ;)

Does anyone know of a nice central location where we could write quietly? Not-so-frequented Starbucks are usually a good place. I only of two in the center of the city (Alster area) and they would be busy during the weeken I'm sure. We can always meet at someone's place if they have room and a coffee machine. :D

I'm ok with anything, as long as it is within resonable distance of an U-bahn or bus stop. :)

We live near Rübenkamp and it is not too far from Barmbek (U2 and U3). Perhaps we could stay out of the city and meet someplace else where it is "central" for all of us.

Tell me your destinations everybody and I will try my very best ... uh, ah - sorry, I've just re-read Dinner for one :)). I think we will find a nice place. The idea of meeting at someone's place is not so bad. Unfortunately our neighbours are not the quiet kind. They love to DIY any day and time but the workdays and -hours. The others living below ... well, skip them :(. I would love to get away.

My daughter is 10. Sometimes she comes up with a story of her own (wonder where she's got that from?). Perhaps she might work miracles and catch some hiding plot bunnies :D.

"When I eventually met Mr. Right I had no idea that his first name was Always." -- Rita Rudner

Good idea, we could send her hunting for bunnies while we write :D

I live in the Bramfelder chaussee, near the Ohlsdorfer Friedhof. I can get to a U1, U2 and S1 easily enough.

Do you guys know what story you will be working on yet? I have a few options, if nothing else comes up until then of course, which I am considering.

Your are kidding! That's just around the corner !!!!

"When I eventually met Mr. Right I had no idea that his first name was Always." -- Rita Rudner

"When I eventually met Mr. Right I had no idea that his first name was Always." -- Rita Rudner

haha, great! Maybe you know a place around here then? My appartment has a spacious enough living room, depending on how many we will be. You could even sit on the Balcony comfortably if the weather is pleasant.

But the husband would be around. And he has yet to fall over into writing hell...he's a good beta reader though, I've trained him well :D

I'm happy with anywhere that is comfy.

p.s. you all writing paper, or computer?

Hey everyone! I'm Nanoing this year in Hamburg as well. I did it last year in Bonn and wasn't pleased with the results.
But with an interesting city like Hamburg as homebase it has to better this year, right?

Anyway, I'm up for any weekend or November Firsty writing action. Has anyone solved the location question yet? I'm writing on my laptop so I'd need some place with power holes.

I look forward to meeting y'all and stealing your noveling ideas!

Hey, there are more and more popping up here :)

No, I haven't had the time yet. But I would suggest Schachcafe at Rübenkamp or else look up the pubs on Bramfelder Chaussee or Fuhlsbüttler Straße (if it wouldn't be raining all day long ... :)).

Rhimo: Where's your place? Will you be able to reach - let me say: Bramfeld Dorfplatz or S-Bahn Rübenkamp in reasonable time?

I am still working on paper when I am out. And I still have no clue about what to write.

So it is November 1st and I will come back to you about the location. Marie, how about you? Do you have a special place near home?

Hallo Ihr,
ich wohne auch in Hamburg, in Wandsbek. Hab mich zwar schon angemeldet, bin aber noch ziemlich am Rudern. Es geht also am 01.11. los. Bitte wo stelle ich meine geschriebenen Seiten ein? Kann mir jemand helfen.
Gerd

Susanne et al,

I live in Rahlstedt (Wandsbek). It would take 30 min. to get to Dorfplatz and 35 to get to Rubenkamp, which I guess is relatively short for Hamburg. Any pre-Nov. plans for this weekend?

P.S. Haukehein, wo in Wandsbek bist Du?

I've only recently moved in the Bramfelder region, so I don't know any place.

I will probably be borrowing the hubby's computer, so I would also need power holes. This weekend I will be writing articles for a newsletter I work on. So nano has to wait. I've already started writing a novel plan for my story though, so I think I feel ready to tackle the 50k.

If we turn out to be around 5 people, I will put up my place for grabs. The living room is spacious enough, loads of plug holes, and would be enough seats for everyone. One 4-seater dinning table plus a 2-seater couch with a coffee table.

But I'm up for anywhere.

Marie

:)

I know some places in Bergedorf, but that is much too far for any of us.

Since you both have issues with plug holes I think we should agree on meeting at your home. If there are more people coming we could still look out for another place.

I'll take care for the cookies.

We've got a visitor this weekend and I have to finish two projects (thank God for the unexpected visitor since she is a friend of my daughter's).

Hey everybody!

Here's another Hamburg author crawling from her (plot)hole in the ground. I guess I'll do NaNo again this year though I'm awfully busy (what with having to organize Halloween and Thanksgiving parties/dinners for all my German friends)... it's no use resisting when the plot bunnies bite (and the one I'm planning on taking care of has a vicious bite, let me tell you!).

I'd love to have a meet-up on Nov. 1st, preferably in the late afternoon (I've got tennis at 3pm)... anywhere within walking distance of an S or U-Bahn is OK, though Ruebenkamp sounds perfect- the courts are right around the corner!

I don't care whether we're going to speak German or English (it's just easier to write in English as my keyboard's American)- ich faende es nur schoen, wenn es auch in Hamburg ein NaNo-Treffen gaebe.

Freue mich schon auf November!

The Americans will always do the right thing... after they've exhausted all the alternatives.

~Winston Churchill~

Yay, more writers coming out!

My place is not exactly walking distance from a train-station, the closest one is Wandsbeck-Gartenstadt, from which you take one bus (number 8) to a stop 2 mins walk from my flat. Not very difficult.

I don't know the area of Ruebenkamp, can anyone suggest a quiet place where we know we can plug laptops? Drink coffee? And big poofy couches are always a big plus.

Marie

Sorry

gerian

Since there are more and more of us I decided to book with Einstein's (Manny: hope this is okay with you).

The table is booked for

10 persons (more or less is fine)
Nov., 1st, 2008
from 15.00 to ...

Please ask for "Schnitzler".

Address: EINSTEIN, Bramfelder Chaussee 361, Hamburg (near bus stop Bramfeld Dorfplatz). I love this kind of place since they first showed up in Kiel years ago :).

@Starlit Writer: You can take the bus 118 from Ruebenkamp to Wandsbek-Gartenstadt and get off at Bramfeld Dorfplatz. Please turn back to the mainstreet, turn to the right and have a look at the numbers :) I do not exactly know if the odd numbers are an "your" side or on the other. I know I have passed this place often enough but my memory is not as good as it used to be (e.g. regarding such issues).

2 Laptops shouldn't be an issue. In case there are more than they can handle we (you :)) will have to take shifts :P

We can easily enough decide to meet there again on November 1st.

Da sich hier mehr AutorInnen einfinden, als anfangs gedacht, habe ich mich entschlossen, lieber einen Tisch zu buchen. Wer an dem ersten NaNo-WriteIn im Hamburger Raum teilnehmen möchte, ist am

1. November 2008
ab 15.00 Uhr mit offenem Ende
im EINSTEIN, Bramfelder Chaussee 361, Hamburg (in der Nähe der Bushaltestelle Bramfeld Dorfplatz) herzlich willkommen. Der Tisch ist für ca. 10 Personen auf den Namen Schnitzler reserviert.
Von der Bushaltestelle aus befindet sich das EINSTEIN noch ein paar Gehminuten in Richtung Sasel.

Für jene, die den Vorstellungsthread noch nicht gefunden haben, diesen aber gerne nutzen möchten: Hier geht es lang
http://www.nanowrimo.org/de/node/3025392
(hoffe ich, ich habe gerade einen Teil des Links gelöscht). Meine eigene Vorstellung ist dort ebenfalls zu finden.

I am looking forward to meeting you all (think you will get to know my daughter as well :)).
Susanne

Einstein sounds great.

No problem at all. God, I can't believe I'm acutally getting myself into this writing hell again! Woohoo! Its happening *dance*

ok, done.

From 3h00 sounds great too. I'll probably be there at that time, want to get as much writing done as soon as possible.

See you all soon!

Oh... ich würde zu gern kommen...
Aber abgesehen davon, dass ich arbeiten muss würde ich mich ohnehin nicht trauen.

Ich wünsche euch Hamburgern trotzdem sehr viel Spaß dabei.

Hallo Marie,

ich wohne in Bad Oldesloe, also zwischen Hamburg und Lübeck. Dieses Jahr will ich endlich die Herausforderung annehmen und im November einen Roman schreiben. Gerade versuche ich, durch die Start-Voraussetzungen hindurch zu finden und "meine Region" zu suchen.

Gibt es schon die Region Hamburg?

Liebe Grüße
Sigrid alias Sirudic

Ok, I'm going to put my B1 German level to practice and pretend I understood everything you should said. I'm guessing your asking if there is a Region Hamburg? Unfortunately, us poor europeans only get general regions it seems. I'm not the savyiest in the workings of Nanowrimo, so I will not put forward a reason for lack of city specific regions in Germany.

What kind of novel are you writing?

If it isn't too far for you, it would be great if you came to the first write-in (which is unofficial really) and any thereafter! The information on date/time/place is found in this thread, in an earlier post.

In the hope that you understand english,
Marie

p.s. if you didn't understand this message, sorry. My written german sucks.

Sigrid,

es gibt nur die Region "Germany and Austria." Leider kein Hamburg. Aber letztes Jahr hatten die "G. and A." den dritt grossten- oder so- Wortzahl gesammelt. So vielleicht nach dieses Jahr koennen wir unsere Ansprueche stellen.

LG,
Tim

Ui, Einstein kenne ich sogar! Ist einfach mit den Oeffentlichen zu erreichen, vielen Dank!

Ich hoffe ja, dass spaeter am Nachmittag noch ein paar NaNos da sind... kann erst so gegen 17:30-18:00 vorbeischauen, will aber eigentlich unbedingt!

----

Is there even a need for an English version? :P

The Americans will always do the right thing... after they've exhausted all the alternatives.

Liebe Lyz,

wenn du dann beim nächsten Treffen nicht arbeiten musst, traust du dich aber bitte. Ja?
Es wird definitiv niemand beißen :).

LG
Susanne

Ich denke, dass bestimmt jemand da sein wird.

If there is any need for interpreting I promise to do my best :P
