The final 2009 Saturday write-in at Mo’Joe’s coffee shop. Already sad to see it go!

I had to play a gig tonight, so I couldn’t participate in the write-in for this evening. That was lame, because it’s the one that I pretty much put together last year and re-organized this year. However, I was able to stop in and see all my friends before I hit the road to play. I was envious of them all sitting around the table working together. Writing is often such a solitary pursuit that it’s really nice when the opportunity arises to share the moment with a bunch of like-minded wackos, and these are some really cool wackos, I assure you.

Saturdays our NaNo region schedules a write-in at a local coffee shop. It’s one of my favorite places to write. It’s kind of the big write-in of the week during NaNo, and a lot of people make the effort to get out and say hello and pound/scribble out a few words there. We had a good turnout, and I made some awesome progress with something like an eight thousand word jump that day.

Friday night was a write-in at a local Border’s. A group of us gathered our laptops around the only available outlet and wrote many, many, many words. It was like a little literary laptop fire pit that we were huddled around.
