It's NaNoWriMo time!

November is National Novel Writing Month, better known as NaNoWriMo. On November 1, some 200,000 people will start an incredible month-long journey of creative spirit and too much caffeine. The goal is to finish a 50,000-word novel in 30 days by quashing the inner editor in all of us and releasing the muse.

Eureka Springs has its own NaNoWriMo group, complete with an event kick-off, area write-ins and a thread in the NaNoWriMo forums for discussion and commiseration. For info and sign up, go to nanowrimo.org.

Local group Friday, Oct. 29, 5:30 p.m. at Pizza Hut.
