[quote=anivay] what are write ins? Write-ins are local events where people bring the laptops (occasionally, people show up with pens and paper) and they work on their story for some or all of the three hours. We have occasional word wars (13 or 17 minute timed sprints with small prizes) to encourage people to write a bunch on their stories. Some people bring snacks and treats to share. There is a little small talk; but mostly we write. We might also schedule a meetup (perhaps a lunch or dinner) during the month; Katherine used to have a snack-time at Rock Bottom Brewery after write-ins in Warrenville. 50,000 words seems like a lot; but 2000 words a day is definitely doable!
