For those that don't know, a "write-in" is a gathering of people that want to have support while they write. We meet at some place, write for about half an hour or so, take a little break to chat, and then get back to writing.
With this region as spread out as it is, it is hard to co-ordinate a time and place that is suitable for all participants that would like to attend. So this year, I'm going to try virtual write-ins as well as physical ones.
Virtual write-ins are generally run from a chat room. I haven't sponsored one of these before, but I've participated in "word wars" online and I think this would be similar. People join the chat and talk for a bit, and then a time-limit is set and you start working on your script. You can still respond to chat messages, maybe posting your progress periodically (much easier to do when we were counting words, not pages!), or asking for advice on something.
I still have to finalize the details for a virtual write-in. If I do get it set up, I may make the chat for all of BC, since I am currently ML for the province. The virtual write-in may be on a weeknight (8-10pm), perhaps with another on the weekend, if people are interested.
As for in-person write-ins, I'm still working on setting those up too. They will be on the weekend, since that is when I will have the time to organize an event or travel to another part of the region. However, if you know someone else in your area that is participating, you are welcome to set something up for yourselves and meet and work on your scripts.
I'll provide updates when I have more information.
