Ready, set, WRITE!



Tomorrow is the start of National Novel Writing Month - or NaNoWriMo. Thousands of people around the country - and quite a few in Missoula - will start writing a novel with the aim of completing it by the end of November. That's right, they will attempt to write a 175-page (50,000 word) novel in 30 days. Whew!

Looking to get in on the fun? You can register for NaNoWriMo on their website. Then it's just a matter of plugging away at that keyboard. But you don't have to do it alone - Missoula Public Library is hosting NaNoWriMo Write-Ins every Sunday 2-4 p.m. in our large meeting room on the lower level. Join your fellow writers for some inspiration, socialization, and probably a bit of perspiration.

No matter how far you get in the project, it's the thoughts that count. Share yours. The library will have a Writers Open Mic Dec. 2 - after all you Wrimos have gotten some sleep - so you can share a piece of your writing.

So what are you waiting for? Oh, right, it doesn't start until tomorrow...
