NaNoWriMo in Albuquerque NM
Tap Tap Tap…
No, those aren’t students furiously cranking out a 5-page thesis the day before it’s due; it’s much worse than that. It’s the NaNoWriMo’s doing a crazy, insane writing project. The Goal: writing 50,000 words in 30 days! Every November, at various bookstores and coffee shops around Albuquerque, a dozen or so people will be gathered around their laptop or writing pad writing at a frenzied pace.
Killing the inner editor
There’s no time to ponder; this is all about speed. Just get the words down. Is it garbage? Who knows, you don’t have time to go back and read it– just keep writing.
It’s all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.
So far, over 440 fools have affliated for this year’s NaNoWriMo in New Mexico. November 1st is kick-off. A group is meeting at the Uptown Borders around 7:00. Saturday, November 3rd 11:00 at Desert Sunrise Coffeehouse on 4th, North of Osuna. There is another meeting on Sunday, November 4th at 3:00 at the Frontier across from UNM. There is a slew of other meetings–just check out the NaNoWriMo NM forum for more details. Hope to see you at one of these events!
Today Scott Ginsberg wrote a post about writing that is worth reading. The Circle of Write.
