Virtual Write in Update

[hobgoblinn]

Zero progress to report so far-- work, then sang a wedding (where the homily was so boring I thought the bride and groom might join me in falling asleep), then came home and had dinner, then procrastinated a bit. And hey, you've caught up with me, because that's where I still am.

But I wanted to post this now to state, for the record, that Cincinnati is less lame than I thought. I had been getting e-mail from the Dallas/Fort Worth Group (which I affiliated with for the hell of it, as that's near my hometown.) Apparently, the Cinci group has been posting all its events on the forums of the nano site. I went over there today on a whim and found that they're doing one from 3-5 Saturday at Lookout Joe's in Mt. Lookout (Cincinnati neighborhoods all have names-- they're not separate cities really. Very odd, but cool.)

Anyway, I'm told they have wireless internet there, so-- that's where Wee Hob and I will be Saturday afternoon. I'll have my aim open for sahiya and anyone else who wants to join in, and I'll pass on and tidbits from the "real thing." But you might want to check the forum section of nanowrimo and see if your area is holding any real write-ins after all.

Happy writing, and happy weekend to all.

Hob

Funny, I wanted to go there when I first moved here and use it as inspiration for a faerie novel I had been trying off and on to write since grad school. Never actually did. Maybe that's a good thing now, as I didn't end up a Cincinnati crime statistic. Or bitten by a rabid squirrel.

Possibly by day's end, I'll feel that either fate would have been preferable. But here's hoping the writing will go well. I'll look for you on aim this afternoon.

Nah, Ault Park cleaned itself up in the late eighties/early nineties. The pavilion is something to see, particularly if you're the type to daydream about the dances they used to hold there. Although there was something a little romantic about it being slightly in ruin and only accessible through trespass, even I have to admit it's a much nicer place now.

But the squirrels might still get you...
