"Write-Ins on the Road"

Crossed the Oregon border. Left Berkeley at 7 AM to make it to this Ashland write-in ... nobody showed up! Really, Ashland novel writers? I mean, I know, not everybody can devote their whole life to this the way that I am ... but you live in a small town, it's a Sunday afternoon, and you're trying to write a novel in 30 days ... and you don't show up to the write-in? Really?

So I headed 15 miles north to a write-in at Medford which was happening concurrently, and have since written about 300 words ... but here in Medford there seems to be some confusion about whether this is a write-in or a talk-in. I mean, to each his own, but its a little distracting.

Says he who is writing a blog entry during a write-in instead of writing his novel...
