NaNoWriMo a Big Success!
Thank you goes out to everyone who attended, donated to or helped with our National Novel Writers Month 2010 Write-In. It was a very productive day for everyone there, but not just productive. We had a lot of fun along the way.
We also want to thank our many donors such as Subway Restaurants (a complete lunch of yummy sandwiches), Peschell's Bakery in West Haven (pastries that we could not stop picking on all day), Laura McManus (who put together all of the goodie bags), and, of course, the West Haven Public Library staff for the use of the room.
Our next endeavor is going to be in April (date to be determined) when we will host Script Frenzy 2010 Write-In. I've never written a script, but I have always wanted to. I think this would be a good time to try, so join me if you dare.
In the meantime, happy holidays to everyone!

West Haven Council on the Arts sponsors writing event at the West Haven Library
West Haven Council on the Arts Presents NaNoWriMo 2010 Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010 9am—4:30pm West Haven Public Library 300 Elm Street, West Haven, CT $20 per person (registration required by 11/5/10) age 13 and over welcome Do you like to write fiction? Have you always wanted to write a novel, but could never find the time? Well, we are giving you the time! 7 1/2 hours of writing time with a little fun thrown in. Word races, trips to the prize table, lunch and snacks from 9am until 4:30pm. You will have space to spread out and a place to plug in your laptop. Sponsored by the West Haven Council on the Arts, NaNoWriMo 2010 is part of National Novel Writing Month’s annual program to encourage writers to crank out 50,000 words beginning November 1st and ending at the strike of midnight on November 31st. Writers can plan what they want to write, even outline a bit, but they cannot begin writing that Great American Novel until 12:01 am on November 1st. From that point on, they can write anything they want with the exception of writing the same word 50,000 times over. It’s pure quantity over quality. Many writers have gotten their NaNoWriMo efforts published (with tons of revision, of course!). Join us at the West Haven Library on November 13th from 9 ‘til 4:30 for food, fun and as many words as you can write toward your 50,000 word goal! Even if you do not sign up for this year’s national competition, you can still join us and crank out as many words as you can. Who knows? You may be the next published author in West Haven! (Seriously. We’re out here!) Proceeds to benefit the work of the West Haven Council on the Arts. A portion will be presented to the West Haven Public Library for the promotion of literacy. For more information call Rosemary O’Brien at 203-499-7416 or email artswh@aol.com. You can also sign up securely via PayPal by hitting the donate button below using "NaNo" in the subject line. Grab your pen or laptop, tap into your creativity and come to NaNoWriMo 2010. You can get a start on your bestselling novel while supporting the arts in West Haven.
