I attended my first and second write-ins today. I have done a lot of weird things, mostly because of the internet, but as far as antisocial activity goes meeting people in a coffee shop to ignore each other and type on laptops is definitely up there. Possibly at the very top. That said, the Hyde Park people were a lot friendlier and we actually did talk for a little while. In the loop's defense, though, that write-in was during business hours and we were all on our lunch breaks (I think)... it just seemed like the twin write-in at the Sears "Willis" Tower had a bit more fun than we did. So I'm jealous.
On the plus side, this enforced antisocial activity actually led to me doubling my word-count today, so yay. Except I'm still almost an entire day behind, and I'm not sure what my characters plan to do from here. I guess I'll find out tomorrow, when I figure out if Charlotte really cut all her hair off and is now hiding out in the brothel pretending to be a eunuch named Charlie, and if Jack built and is piloting the Statue of Liberty with heroic intent.
