National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1st, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by November 30.  Learn more at www.nanowrimo.org.

Come to the kick-off party to learn more about this national program and meet other local writers participating in this contest.  Let's get you started on your novel - eat snacks, pick up some writing tips and have fun!

All month long we will also host regular meetups at OFL - check in with your peers, overcome your writer's block or just come to find a cozy spot to sit and write.  Each time you stop by OFL to do some writing, visit our fireplace area to enter into a raffle, read "pep talks" from well-known writers, challenge handouts, book displays and more.  We want to help you finish that novel!

Have you participated in NaNoWriMo before?  Want to help us plan the kick-off party and meetups at OFL?  Email Alyssa Newton at info@oflibrary.org or call 315-492-1727.
