First two meets announced!!! Intro and Meet 1

Now, just to let you know I have linked both to a writing group. So there will be non NaNo folk there. I've done this for a reason though. Firstly, to make sure that the intro meet isn't just me in a crowded pub waiting for people to try and find me. Secondly, I'm hoping doing it this way will attract more NaNo participants from the area. Please don't let this put you off coming. It will be mostly wrimos past and present. The sessions will be free to NaNo participants, but I will be putting a jar on the table for people to donate to the cost of the room. Room doesn't cost much for the evening so anything raised over that will be donated to the official NaNo fund.

For those of you on Facebook here are the linkies...

Intro session -

'Writing a novel in a month'
Date: Monday, 19 October 2009
Time: 19:00 - 21:00
Location:
Derby Central Library - Learning Suite
Description
This session is to tie in with this years National Novel Month. Although I stress you do NOT need to be participating to come to this.

The session will cover ways to get those word counts up and how to get 50,000 words written in one month. Sound scary?

We're talking first draft here, so it's not quite as scary as it sounds.

We'll also be covering how to find inspiration and you'll all be given a pack to help get those ideas down and plan out how to write that book.

Open to all, whether or not you're writing a novel, already in the middle of one, or not quite ready to put pen to paper. Whether you're a Scribes member already or if you only want to come to the NaNo linked sessions.

The session itself will be 2 hours in the library (7-9pm) then we normally head to a pub afterwards for anyone who would like to join us.

Hope to see you there,

Vicky
