Learn how to write a novel in a month.

November is National Novel Writing Month--learn how to write a novel in a month with the guidance of instructors Irene Cooper, Mike Cooper, and Ellen Santasiero. Join Deschutes Public Library every Thursday in November (except Thanksgiving--that lecture moved to Monday, November 19) for a mini-lecture to guide you through writing, and then quiet writing time.

November 1 lecture: Freewriting (The Madman). Learn about how to get words on paper without self-editing, what to do when you're stuck, and how to build your word count for NaNoWriMo.
