Final Week (and a bit)

About VancoWrimo
Vancowrimo is the regional site for Vancouver's NaNoWriMo and the place to come to find out about upcoming events and news related to events happening in Vancouver. We hold weekly meetings and try to make the act of writing a novel at least a little social, if only so that everyone has a chance to know that they are not the only person undertaking the crazy goal of writing a novel in a month. You are not alone and we love seeing new faces. If that's not enough to convince you, we also have coffee.
About NaNoWriMo*
NaNoWriMo is the friendly abbreviation of National Novel Writing Month, an international writing event that takes place each November. During these 30 days, participants spend their free moments writing 50,000 word novels. The madness has been going on for over 10 years now, and each year ever more people join in to work their literary muscles. 2008 was NaNoWriMo's 10 year anniversary, during which participants collectively logged in more than 1.6 billion words, enough to write the US tax laws from start to end over 500 times. For more information, check out the official National Novel Writing Month's website at http://www.nanowrimo.org/. We dare you to join in.
Our MLs
Municipal Liaisons are local volunteers who help organize NaNoWriMo groups in their hometowns. Being an ML can be serious work, but it's also a lot of fun. This year, Vancouver has two lovely individuals who are ready to take questions, give out encouragement cookies and help keep everyone on track for the elusive goal of 50,000 words.

He is currently of the opinion that titles are silly and would very much like it if you wouldn't ask him of his days when he secretly fought crime alongside the Easter Bunny. It was a very sordid chapter of his life.
