Camp NaNoWriMo

Do you have a writing project that has been waiting for you to actually start it? Or a writing project that’s stalled out? Think your life is too busy to commit to writing? Come join us to get the motivation, inspiration, and positive peer-pressure to help you go from thinking about writing to actually writing.

November’s NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is all about trying to finish an entire novel in a month – but April’s Camp NaNoWriMo is the more laid-back, less intimidating version of the program. Pick any kind of writing goal you want and come to our write-ins for motivation and encouragement! Just bring your laptop and/or pen & paper and we’ll provide the inspiration!

Session 1
Tuesday, March 26 | 6:00pm-7:00pm
At the first session, we’ll learn about Camp NaNoWriMo, engage in some writing prompts to get the creativity flowing, make a commitment to our writing goals, and hear from two authors about their writing processes and advice: Rae Knightly, author of The Alien Skill Series, and John Mavin, author of Rage.

Session 2
Wednesday, April 3 | 6:00pm-7:00pm
We’ll check in on our writing progress and celebrate what we have done, write to optional writing prompts, enjoy dedicated, focused writing time (with snacks!).


Session 3
Tuesday, April 23 | 6:00pm-7:00pm
We’ll check in on our writing progress and celebrate what we have done, write to optional writing prompts, enjoy dedicated, focused writing time (with snacks!).
