Libraries love to see returning writers, and for write-ins hosted by MLs there will be rotating prizes. Plus, the more write-ins you go to, the more likely you are to reach that 50K word goal.

 Some write-ins are [http://naperwrimo.org/writeins actively hosted] by the MLs, other Wrimos, or library staff. There may be word wars, huzzah balls and other games (box of doom, for instance) and maybe even some small prizes to encourage a lot of writing.
 Write-ins without hosts can be good for folks who want a space to write and possibly power for their laptop.
 Most of our write-ins are at libraries (who generously provide a private space and often snacks), but other locations have included bars, restaurants, coffee shops, local colleges, and town halls.
