It’s not too late to get in on the NaNoWriMo fun.
If you’re a writer or a wannabe writer, there’s no time like November to join in the madness that is National Novel Writing Month. The annual worldwide event challenges writers to produce 50,000 words in the month of November (you can sign up or find out more at www.nanowrimo.org). Every year, more than 400,000 people around the world take part in the challenge.
Right here at home, the Burnaby Public Library is giving local writers some help to get to the finish line in style.
It’s hosting two NaNoWriMo Come Write In sessions on Wednesday evenings, Nov. 22 and 29. Sessions will be hosted by Cheryl Minns, a freelance writer and NaNoWriMo veteran, and writers can drop in to work on their writing – with free tea and Wi-Fi to help out.
Sessions run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Juniper Room at Cameron Recreation Centre (across the hall from the Cameron library branch). They’re free, and you don’t need to sign up ahead, but you’re encouraged to drop in on time because space is limited.
