NaNo is over; now the planning for the 2020 Writing Journey begins in earnest. One of the planning items is to select a theme for the Journey's 2020 anthology. See writingjourney.org/blog/2019/12/18/anthology-17-for-2020/ for one of the proposals and for the link to the form to sign up (there is also a link there to a list of all the proposed themes). Calling for interested authors to sign-up.
Photos from the Thank Goodness It's Over celebration on Saturday, Dec 7th. photos.app.goo.gl/UvhtynZ2J6z71LyZA -- Many thanks to everyone who came and made the event special, from my wonderful co-MLs Sam and Jenny (Ellie--we hope you feel better soon!), our incredible Library Crawl founder/coordinator Sarah, everyone who donated prizes (Jeff, Jennifer, Sam, Jenny, I think there were others I missed), the Libraries who supported our crawl, including Joliet (thanks, Dawn, for the $50 Amazon gift card runner up prize) and Carol Stream (thanks, Sarah, for your continued sponsorship and the $100 prize). Thanks also to Bart, Todd, and Catherine for the musical accompaniment and to Bonnie for videoing. Thanks to everyone who contributed yummy food, drinks and supporting materials for the pot luck.
Sam, Leslie, Bonnie, Dominique, and I (NewMexicoKid) are at the Glenside Public Library for the final Library Crawl write-in (we go till 4 pm today). Lots of food, lots of fun, come on out to finish your novels!
November is almost done and that makes me sad because when the clock strikes midnight NaNoWriMo will be over. But don't you fret Wrimos, our TGIO (Thank Goodness It's Over) Party will have food, prizes, and games to wrap things up and celebrate all that we did!
Please RSVP on the forums (forums.nanowrimo.org/t/tgio-rsvp-thread/127981) so we can get a headcount and prepare accordingly. This is a potluck, so please bring a dish to share with you!
