Our fall program event details are now available on our wiki. Coming in October we have three interactive workshops to help prepare folks for National Novel Writing Month in November:
- 10/6, Emotional resonance: reaching your readers, Nichols Library (Naperville):
NaNoWriMo Municipal Liaison Tim Yao leads this highly interactive workshop to explore how to
plan your novel for maximum emotional impact on its readers. - 10/13, Pantsers need not apply, 95th Street Library (Naperville): Under the leadership of
Tom Ostler, participants will deconstruct the plot of a well-known popular movie, focusing on
character, character development, primary and secondary story arcs and the tension that drives
the story to its conclusion. - 10/20, Prepare for NaNo by assessing yourself, Nichols Library (Naperville): Are you
ready for NaNo? Author Roger Lubeck will provide writers with a Preparing for NaNoWriMo Selfassessment
that identifies important writing behaviors, habits, skills, and tools useful in writing a
50,000 word novel in 30 days. Writers will be able to use the assessment to identify critical
decisions in the writing process and to determine his/her strengths and weaknesses as a writers
and novelis.
All of the workshops are on Saturdays, 1-3 pm.
October 27th is the date for our fun and friendly kick-off pot-luck lunch party at the Naperville Municipal Center. Plan to bring a dish and join us for food, fun, the good company of your fellow authors. We’ll have some door prizes, the official NaNoWriMo stickers, games and more.
