This past Tuesday night Write-In was so successful that we’re going to replicate it for the last two Tuesdays of November–the 18th and the 25th. So, join us, 6pm-9pm, 508 Dale Avenue.

On Saturday November 15 it will be HALFWAY! To keep everybody going, we’re having a potluck dinner in the WriterHouse kitchen at 6pm, then writing until 9pm for whomever wants to stay. So please, bring a casserole or “covered dish” (if you’re from the midwest) or a dessert or a salad or side dish. We have coffee and tea.

From 6pm-9pm on Tuesday the 11th, join us for a Write-In. Come one, come all.

From 10am-2pm, your Charlottesville POC will be at WriterHouse for a Thursday Write-In. Come one, come all.

If you want to write on a computer but don’t own a laptop–I have a couple of older desktop computers I can bring in for your use. Just let me know (post something in the comments here). You could transport your manuscript back and forth via USB drive.

Acckkkk. I have bronchitis or walking pneumonia or something so I couldn’t come to the kickoff on Saturday. I heard there were nine people. Wish I coulda been there. Worse than that, I haven’t even started writing yet because I’ve felt so crummy. Planning to get going on Tuesday, though.

Join me every Thursday from 10am-for write-ins.

All Charlottesville/Albemarle/Greene/Madison/Louisa/Fluvanna authors–our kickoff will be at 1pm on Saturday November 1st at WriterHouse (508 Dale Ave, behind the Preston Ave. Bodo’s–MAP). We’ll get acquainted from 1-2 and then stay to write from 2-5. Phone: 296-1922. Wireless and electrical plugs, coffee & tea available. Snacks next door at Bodo’s or Reid’s market across the street.

If you’ve signed up with NaNoWriMo and you’re looking for the correct regional forum, for the time being we are posting in two places: Virginia:Elsewhere and Virginia:Shenandoah Valley. We’re trying to become our own region with our own ML (Municipal Liaison), but that hasn’t happened yet. In the meantime, you can keep in touch with us and find out about gatherings, etc. in these ways:

1. Sign up for our email list

4. Check the Shenandoah Valley Google Calendar

Stay tuned for announcements of events!
