Last Day!

NataliaLW — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:50:11 +0000

Hi all,

I can't believe how quickly this month has gone by! It seems like just a week ago that we began this voyage, armed with page counts and screnzyisms, writing sessions, stickers, and trusty pens. But, with only a few hours left to go, land's been sighted and someone's looking for the anchor. It's almost over...

Almost, but not quite.

Panera Bread- Tues 21-5:30-9:00

NataliaLW — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 22:28:12 +0000

So the half way point has been passed, but there's still plenty of time to write! I will be hosting the next writing session/social at Panera Bread back in 'Sauga.

Panera is a great location, with good seating, free wifi, and lots of outlets. They have the usual coffee and snacks, but they also have great sandwiches, salads, and soups so it's a perfect place to grab a bite of dinner while writing!

TGIO party ideas

voxel — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:12:47 +0000

Let's hear what goofy events you want to see in the end party.

I proposed going to Karaoke after the dinner, but that was shot down right away!!! Waaa!!!

So I thought the MLs (me and Natalia) would volunteer to be puppets in your script/play.... bring 3 pages that you want us to act in and we'll do it. Ignore the fact that Natalia will say no, I'll get her liquored up.

What other ideas? Mudwrestling? Line dancing? Shadow puppets?

So what are you writing?

NataliaLW — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:27:24 +0000

Hey everybody,

With the day growing ever closer, I was just wondering about what you are all thinking of writing. I've decided to adapt my fantasy Nano novel into a graphic novel. What about you?

Outer Limits Carpool

SnippyB — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:27:44 +0000

Howdy folks,

Just thought I'd throw out a query to see how many folks we have in Peel Region and if anyone would like to carpool.

I would like to attend more of the Toronto events but have a difficult time justifying the gas expense (not to mention the greenhouse gas emissions) for one person.

I'm in Brampton (Bovaird between Dixie & Bramalea) if anyone needs a ride into the Tdot for the weekend sessions. As for weeknights, I work near Dixie & The Queensway. I have room in my car for three passengers.

If anyone is interested let me know and we can arrange pickups.

HELLO!.. Hello!... hello...

Serene Moment — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:09:17 +0000

(...The title is my poor attempt at creating an echo.)

Hello, Toronto! Where is everybody? We've all got less than one month to mentally prepare for Script Frenzy!

Allow me to introduce myself (and here I go making myself sound all important because I'm the first person here...):

I'm Serene Moment; you may also know me as Serenity since I went by that nickname in the Toronto NaNo chat room. My real name is Michelle, and I sometimes go by that as well. ;)

Toronto Nano-ers...

Jocelyn Corinne — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 23:23:44 +0000

Out of curiousity, who here did Nano in November?

I'm Victoria Black (Vicky, Vicks), for those of you who don't know me by my real name. I stopped using my pen name. :)

I saw RP around and I remember you from the chat!

Hello everyone!

As one of your new Co-MLs for Toronto this year, I just wanted to introduce myself and welcome you all to Script Frenzy. I hope you're as excited as I am!

As Voxel, the other ML, has mentioned, we would like to see Script Frenzy continue to grow and expand in 2009. I sincerely hope you will come out to the events and writing sessions(to be posted shortly).

In the meantime, if anyone has a favorite writing spot, I'd love it if you could post it--and any other suggestions you might have--here!

24 more days to go!
