Wohoo! We're done... except many of us aren't. Several of you have indicated an interest in continuing to meet so you can finish your novels or finish editing/revising them.

We will be meeting at Pleasanton's Borders this Thursday (Dec. 4th).

The Hayward group will continue meeting at Panera's once a month on Fridays.

Any other locations interested? What about timing?

Berkeley were still planning on continuing the Wednesday evening (7pm to 10pm) write-ins at Cafe Milano beyond the NaNo month. There's a thread about it somewhere in here.

I may be a little late for the first one, but I'm definitely eager to keep going.

Hey, I crashed the Berkely write-in I forget where it was but it was last Wed and there was a woman there taking photos. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could contact her for copies. I think it was at Cafe Milano and I think the person organizing it was named Chris. Sorry if I'm not making much sense and I know this is off topic but there you have it... :-p

I'll be at the Pleasanton write-in this Thursday and would love to continue meeting there for weekly write-ins if we have enough interest. The day and place work well for me.

I'll probably make a few of the first December Pleasanton meetings until I'm stuck in Canada **sniff** And then I'll be wishing I was there instead of dealing with freezing cold and bloody heavy rains and snows that will leave me nothing more than an ice cube...

Oops, probably too much info there ;-)

The person taking the pictures was a reporter for oaklandnorth.net, and while she was there again tonight, I don't know if she is going to be sharing her pictures with the class yet. I'll keep an eye out for the story to be posted, and once it has been, I'll try to ask if copies are available of the other pics.

I am planning on being at Cafe Milano tomorrow. Not sure what I'm going to be working on, but I have plenty of choices right now. ;)

i am feeling the urge to purge...but i will gingerly get myself back in the saddle and continue to ride the wild horse of my unconscious through to my story's conclusion.

ahem.

yeah, i'll be there. :) though the urge to purge/vague sense of burnout may take over and more green foamy drinks may be consumed than pages produced.

I think that for this first post-November meetup, that is precisely the point actually. :)

I know that I'm not going to be there Wednesday because 1) I have 25 pages of papers due within the next week, and 2) I was a genius and said I'd take someone's shift for them on Wednesday. Wow, I'm so smart.

Aha, reading comprehension rules...not that I'd know first hand.

I'll be getting my hair did, so I'll be late.

Anyone going to be out, tonight? I'm torn. I don't know what to do with myself, yet I'm not ready to delve in editing/reading, now. If no people from Berkeley are meeting up, I'd be down to meet somewhere in Oakland.

Hit me up!!!

I have every intention of being at Cafe Milano in Berkeley tonight at 7 to make myself do some more writing. Aftet a 10K word burst the week after NaNo, I've come to a halt. Must fix!

Hope other people will be there.
