It’s the witching hour, when the undead creative impulses that have slept dormant within us since Nov. 30, 2024, arise from their watery graves to march, triumphant, across the pages of our soon-to-be generated novels.
Are you ready?
(I’m sure not.)
Halloween Party
The Halloween Party is tonight! At 8 o’clock p.m. at Jason’s Books and Coffee. Wear a costume (if you wish) and bring snacks to pass (if you wish). We’ll do our first write-in of the TNT season at 12:01!
It will be an eerily good time, bwahaha!
Write-In Schedule
Keep the ghouls at bay by writing in community. This November, we’ve got write-ins scheduled as follows:
- Monday: Bluestocking Bookstore (Holland), 5p to 7p, hosted by Jason the Weasel Wrangler
- Tuesday: Virtual Write-In (Discord), 6p to 8p, hosted by Tara
- Wednesday: Panera Bread (Grandville), 6p to 8p, hosted by Emma/Chrys_Anthem_Um; Young Writers Guild (Wyoming) hosted by Allison/TheGeneral and Andrew/KingGramJohnson
- Thursday: (day of rest … in pieces)
- Friday: WMAA Community Write-In (Discord), 7p to 9p, hosted by Mel the Weasel Wrangler
- Saturday: Virtual Write-In (Discord), 2p to 4p, hosted by Allyson/HufflepuffWrites
- Sunday: Virtual Write-In (Discord), 7p to 9p, hosted by Bob/RCKtheWriter
Silent Auction
If you’ve got materials to donate to the silent auction, please bring them to Jason before the Thursday before DOKN. The silent auction is all-virtual, so you can participate and win even if you’re not in the building!
DOKN & TGIO
The Day of Knockout Noveling is Saturday, Nov. 22. Doors open at 10 a.m. (not 9:50, ahem) and close at 6 p.m. It’s a come-as-you-are writing extravaganza. Bring a potluck dish to pass if you’re so inclined.
We’re grateful to the new-and-improved Bluestocking Bookshop in Holland (they moved this summer!) for hosting our TGIO party. It’ll be held on Nov. 30 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. It’s a sweater party, and registration is required. We encourage you to register early; TGIO participants can join for free but space is limited.
Keep abreast of WMAA activities and our TNT shenanigans by joining our Facebook group or our Discord server. And track your words or time in our TrackBear leaderboard!
NaNoWriMo may be dead, but our community lives on, celebrating undying creativity. Won’t you join us? You have nothing to lose but your braiiiiiiins!
