What the Heck Is This About?
Fellow and sibling NaNos, we feel your pain! With the demise of the Office of Letters & Light last year, we bade farewell to our beloved National Novel Writing Month (fondly known as NaNoWriMo, or NaNo for short).
Well, this year, we're observing NoMo NaNo (No More NaNo). Because we're Ypsi, this is the Rust Belt, and we know how to Keep Engaged & Write On. (Yes, I know...our motto needs work, okay?)
The world still needs our stories, so come write with us!! Strive for the traditional 50k words as the first draft of a novel-length project, or work on whatever creative writing project your wordy heart desires.
What to Bring
Notebook (yes, made of dead trees) or laptop for writing. Bonus points if you show up with a typewriter. Bring what you need to feel comfy - snacks, water bottle, a blanket, headphones, earplugs, warm slippers, etc.
Who to Bring
Your wordy friends! Adults, teens, and self-directed tweens are all welcome to come write with us. Please note: Writers under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult after 9pm. Parents, you’re welcome to bring your kids with you, but childcare is not provided.
Meet Your Hosts
Eric F. (he/him) is our former local ML (Municipal Liaison) for NaNoWriMo and a many-times NaNo participant/winner. Eric usually writes lovecraftesque horror and fantasy. His idea for this year's novel involves three timelines spanning centuries, with adventure unfolding in WWII Europe and ancient South America.
Lena E. (xé/xem) is a long-time (thoroughly unpublished) creative writer and NaNo participant/winner. Lena's writing takes a literary fiction approach to fantasy, contemporary fantasy, and character-driven sci-fi. This year, xé will likely add to a past project which features witches, alternate dimensions, magical photography, and one ordinary and beleaguered editor.
