NaNoWriMo A Chance to Draft Your First Book

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and once again the library will provide teens space to work on their novels.
NaNoWriMo Participants attempt to write a 50,000 word manuscript between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30. The project focuses on the length of a work rather than the quality, encouraging writers to finish their first draft so that it can later be edited at the author's discretion.
The project started in July 1999 with 21 participants, but by the 2010 event, over 200,000 people took part and wrote a total of over 2.8 billion words.
The library will provide teens scheduled writing hours beginning on Thursday, Nov. 2, at 4 p.m. and continuing each Monday at 4 p.m. through Nov. 27.
Writing prompts, writing materials, and snacks will be provided.
The will be no other teen programs during Thanksgiving week, Nov. 19-25.
Other teen activities in November include:
► Library Dungeons and Dragons: Tuesday, 4-6 p.m. in the Gozzer Room.
► Teen Anime Club: Wednesdays, 4-5:30 p.m. locations to be determined.
► Library League of Legends: Fridays 4-5:30 in the Shirley Parker Storyroom.
► Breakfast Book Club: Saturday, Nov. 18, 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Enjoy a book discussion and a late breakfast.
