Happy
National Novel Writing Month!
This
is what you missed at the #NaNoWriMo Readathon at the Bowie Branch Library
Saturday, November 3rd:
novelists
a
poet
an
essayist
a
playwright
a
memoirist
dedicated
readers
games
free
“I <3 Books” T-shirts
All
brought together by a phenomenal librarian!
Where are the photos of the event and my
display?
You ask.
Well,
snapping pics never seems to make it onto my mental to-do list until AFTER an
event has ended. (A chronic oversight that’s likely Freudian in nature.) Blame
my camera averse inner hermit, who also didn’t want to video record my segment.
But my parents* (the same people who frequently call me about “fixing” the
solid blue screen on their television) did. The blurry photo of me standing in
profile leaning forward with my shirt baggy at the waist (SO flattering!) is
their contribution as my self-appointed film crew. (It was a very good natural
hair day though.)
All
of the writers were captivating as they read excerpts of their impressive work
and discussed their creative development quandaries. Their work was gritty,
poignant, humorous, melancholy, provocative, emotionally layered, and a whole
array of engaging elements.
Thank
you to the librarian who coordinated the Readathon, all of the talented
participants, and the supportive attendees who were such enthusiastic listeners
and gracious beta testers as players of Tic Tac Trope. Everyone contributed to
making it a fun event.
Until
the next event,
I
<3 Booklovers,
Cardyn
