Okay guys, since our poor ML Gayle has hit burnout this year, I decided to take initiative and get us together for one final Write-In. We only have 5 days left as of today! I'm going to contact the Panera on National to see if it may be possible to book the meeting room on Thursday the 29th and Friday the 30th. That way we can truck on through to the finish, and that way on Friday we can possibly squeeze out those last few words we need with enough time to get on home and upload our finalized word counts.
More details later today when I have the information. If we can't book Panera, I'll find us a secondary location.

Panera sounds awesome. <3 If we can't get Panera, I suggest another coffeehouse or summat. *nod*
I'm not sure if I'd be able to make one on Thursday, but Friday could be a possibility... But, hey, who knows. o.o

Whoooo! I have to work on Thursday, but I should be out by 7. I hope someone kind will break from their noveling long enough to pick me up after work and take me to whatever location we choose.
On Friday, I am totally free after 1 PM. Oh yeah. Bring on the writing!
Also, I will make it to 50K tonight. I have an evening class from 5:20 to 8, but after that, I am typin' it up.

Give me a poke on phone or AIM if I'm online. If I'm not online it's cos I'm having net issues, so I can't check the boards.
But definitely need the write-in! <3
I did so much writing this weekend and I hate it all, but I will hit 50k!

I might try to make it, I really could use the help. I'm at 38k, and its just -hard- right now.
Tonia might as well, she was asking me about a final write in...

Let me know if something is decided. Weather permitting I can easily be persuaded to hit the slackers table one more time or two. My word count is finished (technically -- dont' ask just yet :D) but the novel obviously is not.

Okay guys, I talked to the Panera on Elm. According to them, the meeting room is BOOKED for tomorrow and Friday. So we're going to be meeting at the Panera on East Sunshine (by the Price Cutter, across from Dillon's) both days.
We'll start around 5 PM and go until everyone just wants to quit or Panera kicks us out. Sorry again about the short notice, it's been kinda hectic trying to find a place. Apparently you have to pay $20 an hour to book the party room at Kaldi's now (which is so stupid!).
Bring with you all your writing utensils, some money for caffeniated goodness and definite enthusiasm and a drive to GET TO THE FINISH LINE! We can do this! Good luck everyone!

Are we having a write-in today? Because I am available and I definitely want to come! We MUST have our final write-in!
Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday... I had to work much longer than expected. Tonight, though, I do not work at all!
I may or may not need a ride, depending on whether I can convince others of the Drury contingent to come and bring vehicles. Everyone else here stopped writing except me, it seems! :( So lonely...
Anyway, please let me know! I don't want to put my phone number here, but if you want to call me, send me a private message and I will give it to you. :-D

I hate to inform you but I don't forsee myself able to crash the write in tonight. Seeing as I would need to live in a few minutes and after the online writing event last night that didn't break until near 6am this morning I um yeah just woke up a few ago *insert sheepish grin here*. Best of luck to all of you and I really wish I could go as I loved the write in's I was able to attend this year.
Naomi...I have a knife for you if you need it!
And Jayke, I need to get with you at some point to arrange the retrival of my power cord.

Ok I swear I typed a post here just a few hours back.. The internet stole it! Sorry I was unable to make write in tonight. I really wanted to be there but real life has been a pita. It was 6 am this morning when my group of online nano friends broke up. (Though to be fair we are talking lots of different time zones!) and I didn't rise and shine until late this afternoon. Good luck to all of you!

Sorry I didn't make it tonight. Got my last few thousand over lunch, and I'm exhausted. In sad defiance of the friday rule, I'm actually considering going to bed early. Le sigh, lame.
Tomorrow, I'll celebrate. Tonight, I'll sleep...

Alas, I was unable to attend write ins this year. Ah well, there is always next year.
*blinks looking at final word count* Okay, Um, almost 10k words came from absolutely nowhere, not complaining, but I just find it odd.
