NaNoWriMo – Regional Kick Off Party!

Posted on 30 September 2016

Ready to Write a Novel? 

The Regional Kick-Off Party for the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is here at the library on Sunday, October 30 from 2pm – 4pm in the Library Meeting Room. We can’t start writing yet, but we can meet up and introduce ourselves! Come have a drink and a snack, get some swag, and meet your fellow Marin Writers!

You can start writing at the stroke of midnight on November 1. 

Then, meet up at 2 pm at the library in the meeting room
on 4 Sundays: Nov, 6, 13, 20, & Dec 4 to continue writing that novel lurking inside.

NaNoWriMo is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. Participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel in the 4 weeks that we meet. NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel.

Elizabeth Menozzi, Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo in Marin, will facilitate.

To sign up for the upcoming National Novel Writing Month, just click on the “Sign Up” button on the NaNoWriMo homepage.

Traditionally, NaNoWriMo works best when you start a brand-new project. It may be an arbitrary distinction, but we’ve seen that novelists do better (and have more fun) when they’re free from the constraints of existing manuscripts. Give yourself the gift of a clean slate! That said, we welcome all writers at any stage. Outlines, character sketches, and other planning steps are encouraged. Just be sure to only count words written during the month.
