The weather is turning cooler here in New England, and you can feel that fall is in the air. And you know what that means … the pumpkin flavored everything is everywhere? Yes, but more importantly,

NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH (NANOWRIMO) IS COMING!!

If you are new to NaNoWriMo, let me fill you in. In November every year, thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of brave people commit to write 50,000 words in one month.

People just like me.

And YOU.

Have you always wanted to write a book? Many people I meet do. Many have even started to but then, for whatever reasons that seem so important at the time, they don’t.

I used to be one of those people.

I was one of those people until 2010, when I discovered NaNoWriMo, and I wrote the first draft of my first book, a book that is now published.

I can hold my book in my hands.

Would you like to say that? Then take the first step and join me this year by signing up for National Novel Writing Month, and commit to writing 50,000 words this year in November–the first draft of your book.

National Novel Month, or NaNoWriMo, is an annual writing project undertaken by thousands of people across the country each year. During the month of November, writers are challenged to write 50,000 pages of a novel. Local author Karen Creamer has been participating in NaNoWriMo for years and has gone on to have several of her books published. She will be at the library to discuss her experiences, techniques, and offer advice for those looking to partake in this exciting creative endeavor. No registration is needed and all are welcome!
