So today we tried something a little different. If you happened to be on the skytrain system in Vancouver, you might have noticed a bunch of people frantically writing on their laptops or going old school with a pen and paper. That was us. <\/p>\n
We stole a page from other NaNoWriMo.org<\/a> cities and held a transit write-in. It was a blast. Some of us got the see the Canada Line for the first time while others ventured further out in the burbs than ever before. <\/p>\n The trek was not without it’s challenges: missed trains and drunk fellow passengers among them. All in all, it went much smoother and was much more fun than even I had expected… and I had high expectations. <\/p>\n Unfortunately, I had myself double booked. I had to leave the gang at Columbia Skytrain Station on their way back into town to get ready for my dinner out with friends. They went on to do double-cross of the Burrard Inlet on the Sea Bus. I’m sad I missed it.<\/p>\n Tonight, I came home to a much cleaner carpet and a feeling of accomplishment. I bought a small carpet cleaner to clean my desperately-needing-a scrub carpets and spent much of the morning on my hands and knees working to get the carpets back to normal in lieu of boosting my word count. <\/p>\n I have tomorrow night off from social engagements and will blast a few extra thousand to get me closer to my goal. Only 9 days left of NaNo 2009. I’m happy to see so many people signing up for the year-round get togethers. <\/p>\n Tomorrow will be Sunday Brunch Writing Prompts<\/a> through Toasted Cheese<\/a>, then off to Blenz for a bit to socialize then it’s off to play tag in the park<\/a>… in the rain, then home for a hot shower and cuddle up in a warm sweater, blankie, fuzzy socks and my word count. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you happened to be on the skytrain system in Vancouver, you might have noticed a bunch of people frantically writing on their laptops or going old school with a pen and paper.
