NaNoWriMo - Come-Write-In
The Butler Library is excited to offer area writers another year of support through the Come-Write-In program. Our conference room doors will be open to writers every Thursday in November from 5:30-7:30pm. This space will be open for writers of all ages and paper, pencils, light snacks and beverages will be offered to attendees. Also a weekly writing prompt will be available to help writers get their creative juices flowing.
If you are a part of the NaNoWriMo community, the goal is to write 1,000 Words a day for 30 days. The Come-Write-In spaces that are available at many libraries, books stores and such are a wonderful way to stay motivated and gain momentum. If you are interested in registering go to nanowrimo.org to sign up. There are many amazing options to help inspire writers because Your Story Matters!
