The library is a great place to find a chair/tutorial room or desk and write anytime we’re open, but here are some library-supported dates to write alone, but alongside and with the support of other participants.

Drop-in. No registration required.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing 50,000 words by 11:59 PM on November 30. Valuing enthusiasm, determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever thought about writing a novel.

Authors around the world, some writing for the very first time, participate in this month-long event. There are online forums and real-life get togethers (called write ins) all designed to help writers get their words on the page. For more information, visit www.nanowrimo.org and visit the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge region's forums for events taking place locally.
