November is National Novel Writing Month, also known as NaNoWriMo. This international event encourages aspiring authors to set a goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days. In celebration, University Libraries and the local NaNoWriMo chapter will host write-ins from 5-9 p.m. every Tuesday in November in Mullins Library Room 302B. All are welcome to come spend time with fellow writers and work toward this goal.
The local NaNoWriMo chapter will also host a kick-off party at United Campus Ministry, located at 902 W. Maple St., starting at 9 p.m. on Oct. 31.
