Good morning Folks!
It's 04.17 and I can't sleep. My RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) is playing up. It's not so bad whilst I'm sitting up.
Tonight, at Slough Writers we have a workshop - 'Who Knows Best' hosted by Lee. I'm not sure what this is about, but I'm interested to find out.
During 'New Markets' or perhaps 'A.O.B.' I'll tell the group that November is 'National Novel Writing Month' and will hand out the flyers I've made a copy of which I'm going to try and post below! Here goes:-
National Novel Writing Month
November 2022
(NaNoWriMo)

EUROPE :: ENGLAND :: BERKSHIRE
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) began in 1999 as a daunting but straightforward challenge: to write 50,000 words of a novel in thirty days. Now, each year on November 1, hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin to write, determined to end the month with 50,000 words of a brand new novel. They enter the month as elementary school teachers, mechanics, or stay-at-home parents. They leave novelists.
NaNoWriMo is an international non-profit organisation that believes in the transformational power of creativity. We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people use their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page.
NaNoWriMo Berkshire. We've seen a lot of change since the 7th Century, but we've always stood at the crossroads of art, literature, technology, and biscuits. From Hungerford to Slough and all in-between, welcome! Write well, respect all, and keep smiling!
1st November marks the start of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in a competition where hundreds of thousands of authors race against the clock to complete a 50,000-word draft in just 30 days.
Although the project began in the United States, NaNoWriMo is an international nonprofit with participants around the world. You’re also welcome to write in the language you’re most comfortable with
Equal parts rewarding and challenging, NaNoWriMo is a perfect way to jump start your writing habit and complete your first draft. To help intrepid writers on this creative journey, author-based community Reedsy has announced Vancouver-based writer Shaelin Bishop and Jenn Gott, who’s author of a six-part epic fantasy series The Beacon Campaigns, and an open-ended superheroes series called Hopefuls, will be hosting host NaNoWriMo writing events every Thursday in November.
In their YouTube live streams, they will guide prospective writers through a series of writing sprints, giving you a boost of productivity and the opportunity to keep yourself accountable by sharing your progress with other writers.
