Plenty To Do At Bell Memorial Public Library
MENTONE — November is National Novel Writing Month. NaNoWriMo is an annual, Internet-based creative writing project that takes place during the month of November.
Participants attempt to write a 50,000-word manuscript between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30. Well-known authors write pep talks to keep them motivated throughout the process, said a news release from Bell Memorial Public Library.
The website provides participants, called “Wrimos”, with tips for writer’s block, information on where local participants are meeting and an online community of support. Focusing on the length of a work rather than the quality, writers are encouraged to finish their first draft quickly so that it can later be edited at the author’s discretion.
New books coming soon: “Too Wilde To Wed” by Eloisa James, “The Trials of Apollo” by Rick Riordan, “Twisted Twenty-six” by Janet Evanovich, “The Undoing of Thistle Tate” by Katelyn Detweiler, “The United States of Trump” by Bill O’Reilly, “Unleashed” by Diana Palmer, “Unstoppable Moses” by Tyler James Smith, “Vendetta in Death” by J.D.

Come to the library at 1:30 Monday, Nov. 4, for Monday Afternoon at the Movies. This month’s feature film is “Hustle”. Josephine Chesterfield is a glamorous, seductive British woman who has a penchant for defrauding gullible men out of their money.

Popcorn and a beverage will be provided.
