I'm out in Pitt this week. Unless any of you feel like travelling three hours for an hour long writing club, I am cancelling this week. It will be back on in two weeks.

New Year's Resolution
Bean, Scott, Jenn, Graeme, Christine and Kat are hereby resolved to attend writing club regularly. Rachael is hereby resolved to put a little more effort into it and arrange things a little earlier and better.
I have decided to start up the writing club anew next year as we have been derailed from regular meetings since November.
Too come: exciting new activities and a far better drill sergeant (especially for herself).

Writing Group Blog Updated
1. I believe (correct me if I am wrong), that Writing Group for Ocotber 31, 2006 has been moved to Monday October 30 to make way for Halloween.
2. The Writing Group Blog has been updated to include the next 6 weeks' agenda for writing.
3. I'm looking forward to writing 50,000 words of crap. I work best under deadlines.

NaNoWriMo
http://www.nanowrimo.org
UPDATE: Exerpts are available to read!
National Novel Writng Month starts in less than two weeks and some of us (a few in the writing group) are taking up the challenge of writing 50,000 words in one month. Mind you, they may not be 50,000 good words, or even 50,000 coherent words. It's like a Page-A-Day calendar, except instead of being a little square with kittens or Bushisms, it's an 8.5" x 11" douple spaced typed page a day and you have to make it! Doesn't that sound like fun (or torture, but fun?). To win NaNoWriMo, you just have to finish 50,000 words in 30 days.
The above website has registration and if you need a laptop to write on AlphaSmart has provided the organization with 25 mini-notebook computers that run on 2 AA batteries for 700+ hours (so you knw they're going to be bare bones word processors). I just think that fact is so cool. Also, it is filled with hints, encouragements and tips for all writing, not just time-pressured novelists.
If you register with the website, you can buddy with "corinnebean" and others from The Clubhouse (who can opt to share their nicknames) to monitor and mentor each other. Oh, and I'm pretty sure you can opt to share your writing or opt out of it. Considering that whatever you write is copywritten, I imagine the sharability is controlled.
Discouraging stat: this post comes under 250 words.
P.S. http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/ is coming June 2007 for you, Beej!

Lacking a Writing?
I asked Scott if there was an assignement this week. He said he didn't remember any and that we should come up with one. So here it is:
"We should write about an aspect of Vancouver that we personally enjoy."
It's vague, it's open and there is no one who can't write about it.

Writing Club is Postponed/Moved
I'm sorry I know the whole point was to keep strict deadlines. But I am way way too busy to organize and clean house. I am to busy (ironically) writing my thesis and packing for my move on Saturday. If someone wants to offer to hold it at their house tomorrow perhaps it can still go on but the clubhouse with both Bean and I packing is not available. Sorry. It can be moved to my new house(address in forum) next Tuesday if need be.
Feel free to give me a DOOMY LOOK OF DISAPOINTMENT next time you see me (though I bet yours isn't as good as mine).
