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.

Checking out CASI and Seasoned Citizen’s is free.
