I'm in! Count me in for (at the very latest) 10am-end.

Thanks for organizing Katherine, this sounds like it will be fun and productive!

Hey Kath,

This is great idea. I like being able to get up and move around, change scenery and such. Weekends are always busy for me with the family so I can't commit, but I'd like to come early. We'll see.

Mostly just lettin' you know that this is quite a fine idea.

Thanks! I appreciate it and come for what you can. You just need to convince 'the family' to shop at Target for an hour, eat lunch with a bunch of writers, and go to a movie (Rock Bottom is near Cantera Regal theater) -- and you're good for hours of writing.

I will try to be here for most of the day! I might have to leave when we move to Rock Bottom, due to lack of money and I'll probably be burned out by then hahah. But this sounds like a really fun idea, I'm excited!!

I am expected to be at work all day, although it's an unusual day (we don't normally work on Saturdays), so my ability to participate depends on when they decide to call it a day. It could very well not be until late, but maybe it'll be sometime late afternoon, who knows.

So I'm a slim maybe near the end.

Rock Bottom will start out in the loft with writing, so don't need money immediately. And hang by Barry (FinnBarrMcG), he has a coupon for a free order of nacho-chips and he likes to share. (They're big.)

Count me in - I'm bad with mornings, but I'll try to make it to lunch at Atlantic Bread Company, if not sooner.

Remember, you can come to part of this awesome write-in. You don't have to commit to the whole day. Give us an idea of when you're targeting, and take careful note of where we'll be at various times. It would be a bummer to miss us.

We have stickers, and gold paper clips, and maybe Tim will bring his suitcase of NaNobots.

There will be word wars, and writing, and some talking, and moving.

It's going to be awesome.

Good News: I'm no longer needed at all on Saturday, so theoretically I can make the whole thing.

Bad News: My car is still unreliable, and I should really bring it to a mechanic to look at tomorrow (almost didn't make it to work this morning), so I might be car-less for several hours or possibly even the whole day.

Shouldn't be a problem. We start and end at Caribou--I can give you a lift to Target--and then we're within a very short (walkable) distance until we head back to Caribou.

I'm gonig to attempt to make this write in, probably going to be there for the later half of it, if my plans for the day completely bottom out though, i will be there for the whole thing. I am aiming to definitely be there from like 2:00-till the end :)

Sadly, I think I'm going to have to pull out. Based on how exhausted I've been the last two days after work, I'm thinking I won't have the energy to drive out to Naperville tomorrow night. :( I will be on the Jabber chat, though!

I've been under the weather myself. If I end up not making it to the progressive write-in, then I will pop into Jabber at some point. (Though I am still really hoping I'll feel better by the time I wake up tomorrow.)

I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions. ~James Michener

Well. With all these backing out I will just say that HAYYY. I'LL BE THERE.

Though I have to pop out from 12-2. But I'll be back, dear ones. Fear not.

Looks like I'm out. My husband will be working all day. I'm home with the kiddos. :( all three of my kids are participating with their class so we'll be having our own little write in.

Thanks. I love Birdies, I have 4 of them. Does your birdy talk at all, I hear some of the budgies can talk, if you listen closely.

We're heading to Caribou for the start of the Progressive Write-in!

Hope to see a bunch of you guys at various times today.

Remember, pay attention to the schedule. (i.e. don't arrive at the Caribou half an hour after we moved on to the next place and wonder where we are--and LOOK for us. I'll have a blue sign that says 'Write-in. NaNoWriMo'. I'm wearing my 'Warning: Novelist at Work black T-shirt.) But I will be writing.
