NaNoWriMo

This month is November, and apart from the cool mustaches cropping up around the country, it is also the time when novels crop up around the nation. We at the guild are sponsoring a series of weekend write-ins to provide good fellowship during the NaNoWriMo season (the National Novel Writing Month, previously abbreviated). 

During these write-ins, the guild shares the fun and hardship of dredging through a new novel--all from scratch--and the enjoyment of creating a new project with the hopes of seeing it to fruition. About 1/3 through the the month and the those writing days are coming in at full swing. 

We're happy to see everyone working towards a common goal, and in that, it seems the first third has gone off without any proverbial hitch or ditch in the side of the road. 9 down--just 21 to go!

Horror Day 2014

Like all writers, there comes a time to bare oneself for the public space.

       Halloween did not go past the eye of the guild as we celebrated the harvest festivities, which may or not contain paragraphs about the spookiness of Maine. In swift detail we took task under the guise of the shadows, and the ghouls, and delightful macabre of this fateful time of year.
       The fun bleed from our pens as the festivities (including candy)
went for merry time. As we push to the end of another term, we hope this ghastly day inspires a dread (metaphorically) down your spine. If you missed out--no worries--there's always room for another chair in chamber of horror (mwa ha ha ha).

Behold, tis a monster mash!
