WWG Write-Ins, Celebrating National Novel Writing Month
THE GRAND FINALE WRITE-IN: Monday, November 28, 6:30-8:00 PM, Waconia Library, Magazine Corner Meeting/Activity Room.*
*The Activity Room is to your immediate left when you enter the library, between the fireplace area and the computers.
ABOUT OUR EVENT: It’s once again time to take on the annual challenge of writing the equivalent of a novel’s worth of words in November. Also known as National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short), our group has sponsored our own events for this month-long write-a-thon in years past. We took a break in recent years, but we’re back! WWG members will be gathering every Monday evening in November to work on their writing projects, share resources/advice/camaraderie, and some of them might even immerse themselves in the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 30 days!
Bring a project! Write! Enjoy some snacks and the company of your writing peers. Come when you can, stay as long as you want. You don’t have to be participating in NaNoWriMo (or writing a novel) to join in on the fun!

We’ve held two write-ins at Waconia Library so far this month, and consensus is these sessions have been a motivating and appreciated addition to our network of support within our little writing community.
