Geoffrey P Moore Writes

The beginning of the end. An enthusiastic bunch of goody bag hunters gathered throughout the day at TOMBS on Brookline avenue to kick off the first day of NaNoWriMo. With apparatus that ranged from a PDA with folding keypad, clacking manual typewriter and ubiquitous laptop, not to mention good old pad and pencil, a varied band of writers, male, female, young and not so young set out on a journey together. Only time will tell how many survive to complete their novels.

Under the hospitable eye of the coffee, goody bag making, cable supplying Skyler the group sat mostly in silence creating the first few hundred words of the 50,000 due by the end of November.

I managed 1853, mostly inspired by the view from the window and my protagonists desire to write her novel.

Right now, I'm just leaving Boston Public Library to head to Kates Book Shop at Davis Square for the New England Chapter Meeting of The Mystery Writers of America meeting.

Will I get there, will the novel get finished, who know yet, it's a mystery.
