Description: Avid Bookshop is happy to host a 2012 NaNoWriMo Kickoff on Tuesday, October 30, 2012, from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. November is close approaching, and with it comes National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short) in which participants attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in a month! There's no big prize at the end--flights of angels very rarely descend to proclaim the authors victorious--but at the end of it all, you are left with the most valuable of awards: Your Book. This party celebrates those undergoing this incredible writing journey in the Athens community, and though victory is far from guaranteed, a warm send off into the storytelling abyss is always appreciated! If you're a participant, come to celebrate with others the journey you'll be taking together, meet your Municipal Liaisons, adopt plot bunnies, talk about your project, and enjoy a day of freedom before writing rules your life! If you're not a writer, come out and wish us well, learn more about the project, and meet the sort of crazy people who think writing a book in a month sounds like fun! Times: 6:30 - 7:30pm free
