This year’s National
Novel Writing Month has officially begun. I’ve registered, entered my first
word counts, and have embarked on a mission not just to help my writing but to
help others who may need a change of pace or place.
It all
happened quite recently and by happenstance. The volunteer room at CASI became
available and I pitched my idea for its use for the next month. That worked
out. Getting things set up with NaNoWriMo folks was a bit trickier but it all
seems to be in place as well. Now all I need is to get the word out.
The name: Seasoned
Citizens is a favorite saying I’ve heard tossed around the Scribe Tribe
meetings I’ve attended. I take it to mean a “Senior” citizen whose life
experiences have left them with an interesting mix of trials and triumphs. All things
that are worthy of putting down on paper by pen or pencil or typed out for a computer
journal.
Write-in is a group action whereby a variety of
writers come together for the express purpose of increasing their word count.
The personal project, whether it’s a novel or short story or whatever, does not
matter. The goal is sitting down and writing: something, somewhere, somehow,
with a minimum of distractions.
CASI, Center for Active Senior, Inc, offers
a perfect venue for all things that encourage people to exercise, play games, work
on crafts, learn something new, or just mingle. The volunteer room is easy to
find, just down the hall from the front desk. Look for the above sign
for a Month of Mondays writing action.
