Hey, all, anyone in Beaver County? Just curious. I go to school in Pittsburgh, but that's about the extent of my Pittsburgh-ness. This is my first year doing NaNo, and I'm pretty far behind on my word count, as I don't have a lot of free time this semester.

Hi there! I'm from Beaver County, but live in Virginia now. Hope you find some nearby wrimos for write-ins.

Hi! I'm in Beaver County (in New Brighton, just over the bridge from Beaver Falls). I've got kids your age, and this is my sixth year doing NaNo. I attended my first write-in last night in Cranberry, since we can never seem to get enough people from Beaver County for our own meet-up. There were seven folks (and a baby) there last night.
Cranberry's only a half-hour drive for me, so I'll be continuing to go to the North write-ins there the rest of this month. Would those be close enough for you to attend?
Don't give up just yet. Sometimes I've had very slow starts for NaNo but then found a few days where I could really go crazy and write triple the word count and catch up. Try finding a day like that and enjoy it!

Hey, there! I'm in Beaver Falls, actually. I wanted to go to the Cranberry write-in, but I wasn't feeling well yesterday. I'm going to try to go next week, though.
I'm hoping to find a few crazy-writing days this month. I'm trying not to really focus on the "omg I have to reach 50,000 words" thing; I'm just glad I'm writing. I let myself get away from it for a while, and I wanted to get back into it, so this is helping a lot.

I'm behind too, but plan to catch up this week.
If you guys have a write-in in the county, let me know. My mom is interested in the whole process and would probably go. She's in Aliquippa.
