There's a few of us, at least, so if anyone wants to toss out any ideas for write-ins I'm all for it. :)

I'm available on Tuesdays, Friday evenings, and weekends. Since I'm fairly new to the area (moved here in April!) I have no idea for decent spots. Someone make a suggestion?

I'm one of the few out on Powers! =D
I'm good for evenings on Mondays & Tuesdays, or early mornings rest of the week. There's a Panera down by Constitution that we did a few write-ins at last year; I don't think we'd need the full meeting room. There's also a Pikes Perk off of Research and Powers, I bet we could do a small meeting there.

I'm with J on the Panera and the Pikes Perk, there's also a Starbucks and a new McDondald's on Stetson that both have WiFi. I should be alright for weeknights except Thursday, and anytime on weekends. I have little kids in the house and can work around that on weekdays if anyone is interested in meeting me at my gym. I have two hours of daily childcare at VillaSport every day (near the corner of Woodmen and Powers) and they have a great cafe that serves Starbucks coffee.

Actually, the Pikes Perk isn't there anymore. I'm not sure there's even a coffee shop there at all! It keeps opening then closing again. :/

I'm up for any of the rest though! Panera sounds like the best bet, or the Starbucks.

I'm up for meeting any time for the most part, Panera seemed like a good place last year. There isn't a coffee shop on research and powers anymore at all.

But anywhere else would be nice. Evenings or mid day work best for me.

Hey sorry, need to check in more often now that it's getting closer. I work shift so I don't know what Tuesdays I'll have off. But if I'm free, I'm in for a writing spree at Panera. :)

The Panera staff on Powers are amazing--I write there all year long. If I'm not working on Tuesdays I'll join you all, and I'm often there at random times--I'll post in the thread I'll create about impromtu write-ins whenever I get there (feel free to do the same) so we can all meet up!

I was thinking 6:30 on Tuesdays at Panera on Powers. Does that sound good for everyone? We could also set up a second meet up on the weekends, if folks can't make it to the Tuesday ones.

What good fortune. I am also close to that location and typically Tuesday nights will work well for me. Looking forward to connecting with you all and enjoying some write-in time.

Come join us at Nemo's Coffee Shop, its on the east end of Pikes Peak. We're there every Tuesday from 1 to 4 pm. Look for a group with laptops open writing away.....

If you want to see more about this group -- it's called Writer's Write and we do this every Tuesday, we've just turned everything over to NaNo for November.

If you're writing so furiously then why are you posting on the forums?!?!

Feel free to reach over and slap me. It might bolster your creativity... :P

I would, but I can't reach that far. :P

I'm on break! Time to clear the head from writing furiously. >_>

Wow, I'm on the Powers side of town too, but I do all my writing on my desktop. Need that ergo keyboard or things hurt too much to type for more than a few minutes.

So you all have fun and keep writing! Maybe I'll swing by when I'm in outline mode and do some outlining while you write. :)
