It's time! November 1st has arrived, and some of us are already clacking away on the keyboard. It's time to get some words on paper, folks, and we've got tons of events set up this week to help you do just that!

Nov. 1 Kick-Off Party (Edwardsville)
--------------------------------------
Ready to write with a bunch of like-minded folks? Head on over to the Learning Technology Center in Edwardsville, IL from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and get your novel off to a great start! The address is 200 Clay St., Edwardsville, IL 62025. If it looks like a row of old condos... well, it is! We'll be in the basement.
This is a potluck event. Army Any Publishing will be providing us with sandwiches, chips, and 3 gallons of Sean's special Sweet Tea. You can bring anything else you like -- desserts, finger foods, or beverages to share with others. (Please, no alcohol.) The center is laptop friendly and has wi-fi, so bring your gear along!
