If you are a writer or have one in your life, you recognize the flurry of "gotta-get-this-done-before..." activity of mid-October. It signals the decision to take that descent into the pure, unabashed madness that is National Novel Writing Month. If you're looking for a place to work, an ear to bounce ideas off of or the mojo that comes from hanging out around other creative people, Bookmans Flagstaff has you covered.

Come have a seat in our cafe and meet those also in the running to complete their novels and reach those goals at 6 p.m. every Friday night through November (except the 23rd). Pop your name in our box at the beginning of the evening and you'll also have a chance to win a free cafe drink.

Our write-ins are open to everyone, including some of our own staff. Hope to see you there and that we'll see your novel on our shelves.

For more information, official registration (encouraged but not necessary), or great resources, please visit the NaNoWriMo website.
