Write-In planned at Central Ridge Library

BEVERLY HILLS - Citrus County Library System Director Flossie Benton Rogers announces that this year’s NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) events will include a Write-In to be held at the Central Ridge Library computer learning center on Friday, Nov. 13, 11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

The address for this event is 425 W. Roosevelt Blvd. Beverly Hills, Florida. Please register for this event by calling the Central Ridge Library at 746-6622.

Have you always wanted to write a novel but haven’t found the time? Now is the time to participate in NaNoWriMo with the Citrus County Library System (CCLS).

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing Nov. 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, Nov. 30

Halfway through your NaNoWriMo 50,000 word novel, you may need a little reminder as to why you started this insane project. Acclaimed authors Belea T. Keeney, Elissa Malcohn, and Loretta C. Rogers help keep you motivated as you head toward the finish line.
