As part of National Novel Writing
Month (NaNoWriMo) activities, librarian and author Eric Lundgren will kickoff a
write-in at the St. Louis Writers Guild's free workshop, held 10 a.m. to noon,
Nov. 7, at Kirkwood Community Center, 111 S. Geyer Road, Kirkwood.
Workshop
participants should bring any outlines, notes or materials needed to write for
an hour.
On Nov. 1, NaNoWriMo participants begin working toward the goal
of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 PM on Nov. 30. Valuing enthusiasm,
determination, and a deadline, NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has
ever thought fleetingly about writing a novel. According to the NaNoWriMo
website, in 2013, 650 libraries opened their doors to novelists
through the Come Write In program. http://nanowrimo.org/
Eric has worked since 2007 at the
St. Louis Public Library, where he is an Adult Services Provider. He manages
the collection of the Entertainment, Literature, and Biography department and
coordinates the STL Scribblers group at Central Library. Also a fiction writer,
his novel The Facades was published by Overlook Press in 2013 and was
named a best book of the year by Publishers Weekly and the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
