Local writers who have a major writing project they've been trying to get to but can't seem to put on top of the "to do" list are being invited to join the SSU campus community in a month-long writing project.
In the spirit of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), writers are invited to crank out 25,000 words in the month of November. Novel writers, academic project writers, poets, dramatists, memoirists are invited to participate.
Those interested should sign up in the SSU Writing Center in Schulz 1103 and plan to attend inspirational kickoff party from noon-1 p.m. on Nov. 1 in Schulz 1121.
A whole month will be devoted to producing 25,000 words and/or completing any project of choice. The goal is quantity, not quality. Don't worry about grammar, spelling, research, logic, or formal footnotes, says organizer Scott Miller, director of the SSU Writing Center. "The motto is: Don't get it right; get it written!"
Writing starts at midnight on Nov. 1 and participants should keep writing until midnight on Nov. 30. Deadline to sign up is Nov. 24.
