Anyone here in University doing NaNoWriMo? More specifically, University of Winnipeg?

I am! Anyone want to do some "write ins" at the Uni around classes and whatnot?

I need some encouragement to do this - especially with all the exams and tests in November!

Alas, I'm doing time at the RRC downtown instead, though you definitely have the sympathetic support of a fellow student! I expect I'll be super-swamped with projects right around mid-November...

Heyhey I'm at Udubs this year, first-year sciency stuff. November definitely is going to be a crazy month. There's gotta be more than three uni students doing this... If we could get a crew together UW write-ins would be sweet

I am! Unfortunately, I'm only there two nights a week.

Nice to hear there are other U of W students on here!

I agree -- getting a crew of UW students to do some of our own write-ins WOULD rock.

Anyone interested in meeting with me on campus next week and trying to figure out if we can make up some posters/put them up?

UDub alumni... does that count??? I finished last year. Though in truth I graduated the year before (graduate sget precidence in course selection...who know) I managed my first year of NanoWrimo in my last heavyy year of school... It can be done! This year I can't make write ins (Martial arts training from 7-9 Thursdays) but I might randomly show up to a write in at the Uni if one is planned as I know where all the good free parking is ^.^

This is my first time trying Naniwrimo...
and my last year (hopefully) at the UofW. :)

I may be interested in getting together with people and talking about plots, stories, etc...

Drop Outs always count, ha ha!

I'm at the U of W also. And totally up for writing sessions, depending on times and the like. Mainly Tuesdays, because I have this wonderful 2-3 hour gap of nothingness between 11ish and 2ish.

We can't be the only two :O I guess U of W does suck up most of the creative kids!

Law School, that's hardcore ;)

Another U of W alumni here (although I have been thinking about going back for more courses (I regret not submitting pieces to the journal there when I had the chance)... but I shudder at the thought of having to do essays again). Too bad this wasn't a few years ago. Oh well... Best of luck to you all!

How about an Alum? I will also juggle NaNoWriMo with my homework at RRC as well. (You all have my utmost, sincere, bottom-of-heart empathy.)
