Welcome back, everyone!  I've started my writers' blog again to gear us up for another NaNoWriMo event...56 days and counting, Wrimos!

We lost a few of our club's members due to the shift of ninth grade to the local high school   )-:  HOWEVER, you know where to find classroom 7, right?  You're welcome to join us after school, read this blog and comment to support each other.  Welcome to the new members this year! 

I spoke with a few of you last week and was pleased to hear you are already planning your NaNoWriMo books topics.  I've got an idea for mine.  The working title is "In the Wings" and it takes place backstage during a drama performance at school.  This topic is a natural for me because I love theatre and have performed in many shows.  I also think it's an appropriate topic for middle grade students since many young people can relate to waiting for their moments to shine.

We will resume our club meetings on Tuesday, October 18th, to prepare for the NaNoWriMo kickoff on Tuesday, November 1st.  Can't wait to get started...

I'm currently reading "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg.  Thanks, Frank, for recommending the book.
