NaNoWriMo 2013: National Novel Writing Month

Monday, October 28, 2013 - 5:00pm to 6:00pm
  • Conference Room - Administration Wing

Bud Werner Memorial Library and Off the Beaten Path Bookstore are proud supprters of National Novel Writing Month and the local writers who embark on 30 days and nights of literary abandon.

Write your novel! This event runs November 1-30, 2013. Kids can find custom-tailored support at the November Creativity Club meetings. Adults are encouraged to gather for our motivational, inspirational NaNoWriMo kickoff prior to the November 1 writing start date.

What is NaNoWriMo?
A fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

The kickoff celebration. Come meet your fellow NaNoWriMo novelists at the library -- even if you're still just considering writing your novel this November. We'll have writing resources, pep talks, a forum for gripes and the beginnings of your novel writing support network.

Write-in at the Library. BWML is a comfortable, quiet and well-lit place to work on your novel all month long. Write at the spacious desks where there are ample plug-ins. Peer out the picture windows when you need inspiration. Use the free computers and WiFi to research important details for your plot. Get to know our reference librarians when you need a hard-won fact. Let Mountainbrew sustain your needs for refreshment with coffee and baked goods.

Write-in at Off the Beaten Path. The bookstore is hosting Friday night Write-ins for NaNoWriMo novelists during November, from 5-11 p.m.. NaNoWriMo novelists can join for camaraderie, encouragement and quiet writing time.
