It's over - How did you do?
What? National Novel Writing Month (National
Novel Writing Month website)! David accomplished his goal with over
50,000 words. I fell short at 39,175. How did you do? Drop me a
note and let me know about your writing experience in November. Perhaps
we can put something in the elusive newsletter.
www.everydayfiction.com - "Every Day Fiction’s
goal is to publish a new story every day that you can read in 20 minutes
or less. You’ll be seeing a wide variety of stories of all different
genres, so there should be something to please everyone."
PWLF has found a place to rest for a while with our
open mic nights on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. They are held from 7-9 p.m. We encourage
you to purchase food and drinks from our terrific host.
