November is National Novel Writing Month
Do you want to write a book someday? Are you waiting for an auspicious time? The time is November!
Join us for a Q&A on National Novel Writing Month with tips on drafting 50,000 words in 30 days.
The kick-off session on November 1st will be followed by Write-Ins at the library on the following days:
- Saturday, November 9 from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM – Jeanne Couture Room
- Wednesday, November 13 from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM – Jeanne Couture Room
- Saturday, November 23 from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM – 3rd Floor Conference Room
Write-Ins are gatherings of NaNoWriMo participants to discuss the craft and challenge each other to writing sprints. Refreshments and prizes will be provided, with an awesome door prize for each session, free of cost. Write-ins let you come together with others to talk about the craft and bounce ideas, or huddle in a corner and just write!
