Tonight from 8-9pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time), a friendly bunch of writers will meet here to motivate each other to encourage and inspire each other to meet their writing goals.

You can come prepared with your own writing project to work on(in your own document offline), or you can just drop by and say hi!

I think I'll be scribbling on an idea I had for a new story, not to actually write it, just a bit of a plot outline

Hi Meg, Karyn, Paula, and anyone else who's come in in the meantime; good to be here. I will be bashing away at my stalled fantasy book.

I'm going to be writing a scene in my new Kimberley Freeman novel. And, for something different, I'm writing in bed.

I had an idea I scribbled down while I was on the cross trainer this morning, so I have to flesh it out a bit, before I store it for later

Cheers - hi to Kim too. I did YON with you a couple of years ago with you Kim. You might recognise my profile pic, it is still the same. I haven't aged a bit!

Hi, Kim. I bought Wildflower Hill on Saturday, started reading it that evening in bed, and finished it on Sunday afternoon. I have Giants of the Frost on order from Book Depository, Duet on its way up from Victoria, and I'm looking out for your others as well. :)

Hey, sorry running late (other half working late).

Am typing the *insert bad words* words I wrote yesterday. Having to go longhand to pull words out of my brain. Hoping the typing in helps to clarify what the hell I was saying.
