I’m a co-Municipal Liaison for the Champaign/Urbana area for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I encourage everyone to sign up for NaNoWriMo, it’s a personal challenge to write 50,000 words on a Novel in the month of November. It’s a great opportunity to work on that book you’ve always wanted to write one day AND meet fellow writers in the area. Common activities are group writer-ins (where everyone meets at a coffee shop or where ever to write and chat) and word wars (where people compete to see who can write the most words in a set amount of time). It’s great fun, and it helps stimulate the imagination into creating new worlds and great new works of storytelling.
I love NaNoWriMo, but it does take a lot of my time. I’m going to try my hardest to keep the updates rolling out every Monday but don’t be surprised if a guest piece of artwork or a filler shows up. I’m also looking at adding a section of blog posts talking about news articles that would make for great stories and a host of other bloggy blog type posts, but these may not happen until closer to December.
All this and more at Altsad; your pine-scented, nightmare filled, home.
