So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and try your hand at National Novel Writing Month this November?
There’s a support group for that.
The Burnaby Public Library is hosting Come Write In nights on Wednesdays in November at its Tommy Douglas branch for anyone taking part in this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge. That challenge, for the uninitiated, is to complete the first draft of a 50,000-word novel in the month of November. It’s open to writers of all ages and backgrounds.
If you haven’t signed up yet, you can do so for free at www.nanowrimo.org (or, if you’re under 18, www.ywp.nanowrimo.org).
Come Write In sessions are free, and you don’t need to sign up ahead. Drop-ins run Wednesdays, Nov. 6, 13, 20 and 27, from 4 to 8:45 p.m. The Tommy Douglas library branch is at 7311 Kingsway. Call 604-522-3971 or see www.bpl.bc.ca/events for information.
