If you're writing at a public venue or have plans to do so, and you want company, announce the place and time in this thread. Of course the more advance warning you can give, the more likely someone else will show up, but it can't hurt to post in any case. If nothing else, maybe you'll inspire someone in a different location who should really be writing!

For the schedule of recurring write-ins, see this post and the regional calendar. If you decide to turn an impromptu write-in into a regular event that you can commit to hosting, let me know, and I'll add it to the schedule.

Since I work at Oakridge Mall's Borders most of the week, I can usually be found there around two-ish to four-ish from Tuesday to Saturday. Say hi to the Asian dude at the cafe tables with multiple black notebooks in hand, muttering to himself. =D

I'm currently at the Santana Row Borders, kind of by the balcony (sitting on the floor, not in the section with tables, since I can't find a free one).

If anyone wants to join me, I'm here until the store closes! I may be back tomorrow, as well (and if I do head back, I'll post again). I have a sign (kind of) next to me - I wrote on the back of my notebook that I'm NaNoing and put it up on the windowsill next to me.

Please, come join me!

I am heading to the Starbucks at 1167 Lincoln Ave in San Jose at about noon today, Sunday, day four. I'll probably be there until about 3, at which time the plan is to head to Orchard Valley and meet up with whoever might be there. I'll be wearing the blue NaNo shirt from last year. I'm also behind on my word count already, which is bad news.

I think I'm going to come by, but it won't be until after my lunch plans, so maybe 1:30ish.

But if it turns out you need to leave before I get there, don't worry about it.

I never get any writing done at home (too many distractions) so I think I'll be headed over to Barefoot today. Not sure exactly when I'll get there. I'll probably stay for awhile though. If someone wants to show up, that's cool. If not well.. I'll write alone... alone.

I'll head over there once I... take a shower. And add glowstick and ninja holders to my laptop. And sew my shiny new merit badge onto my jacket. And maybe wash my car? I'll say noon.

see yall there!

I'm a PeNaNo, but I'm at the Bean Scene in Sunnyvale (right now until around 1 pm when I have a lunch appt at Gumba's next door).

WiFi, plus open outlets for the hungry laptop.

And they make a very nice chai latte, plus the Farmer's Market is going on outside for people watching.

I have the purple ninja duck that Linda and Rob gave me on Thursday, as an ID!

It's 8:00 pm and I'm 7,000 words from finishing. I am sitting in Books, Inc. cafe -- which is practically empty! Can't imagine why -- and I'm now on word ... 43,123.

Let's hear it for planning ahead.

If anyone wants to come hang out and eat cheesecake with me, c'mon by!!

In order to make up for my tragic downfall (BACK UP YOUR NOVEL!), I'm going to be going all out this week. Tonight and tomorrow night I'll be at Barefoot from ~730 to close. I am going to start consuming far too much caffiene and trying to hit 5K per day.

I had a dream last night that I was at 48,000.... sigh. I think November is taking its toll on me <_<.
