San Diego Writers, Ink Celebrates NaNoWriMo Preparation Workshop Fasten your seatbelts! Writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days is one crazy, exhilarating ride. In this informational and inspirational session, we’ll discuss our own NaNo journeys, sharing strategies to prepare for the kooky month ahead and avoid potholes along the way. We’ll talk about the rewards of committing to this ambitious personal goal, and explain all the “how-to’s” and “why-should-I’s.” Nicole will also lead some pre-writing exercises to get you primed for the wild month ahead when you finally commit to becoming a novelist. www.nanowrimo.org NaNoWriMo Community Writing Time Bring your laptop (or pen and paper) and come write in the company of other writers, free from the distractions of home. Drop in for as long as you like. We’ll enforce quiet writing time from :15 after to the top of every hour, and take social breaks from :00 to :15-after with stretching, commiserating, and high-fiving encouraged. NaNoWriMo TIGO Celebration Hosted by Nicole Vollrath and Shelli Sannes
