November is National Novel Writer’s Month (NaNoWriMo) and DPPL recognizes those who write.
We host write-ins every Tuesday night during this month for aspiring writers.
Folks who participate in NaNoWriMo aim to write a novel during the month of November.
The goal is to write at least 50,000 words (that is about 1666.67 words a day).
Thousands of people sign up and take part across the world. The idea is that if you write fast and focused it doesn’t give the inner critic time to sabotage your efforts. You can go back and clean it up in December or January if necessary, but November is all about getting the words and ideas down.
The NaNoWriMo website has many useful tools including a community where you can get feedback, help with a plot, do research or just see what others are doing.
Tony with special guests Charlie, Fernando and Steven celebrate Halloween by discussing horror films, includingHausu (1977), The Boy (2016) and The VVitch (2015), as well as some of the more general tropes of the genre.
We know everyone loves the new book section. Not only are the books fresh, but the section is smaller and approachable. We have recently created special interest displays on the 4th floor that have been curated with the same principles in mind.
Just try to browse our new politics display or cookbook display and NOT check something out.
