November. The colourful leaves have fallen. The lakes are too cold for swimming. If there's any snow at all this month, it won't be enough to play in. So what, pray tell, is one to do around here in November?
The simple, delicious answer is... not much. Oh, there are still trails to hike and sights to see. Most of the shops and galleries are still open, though their hours may be shorter. But the crowds have emptied out of the parks, stores, restaurants and highways now that the flashy, popular months have passed. And this is great news for those of us who appreciate the quiet pleasure of the written word.
More than any other, November is the month for readers and writers. It's a quiet, cocooning, reflective time, perfect for curling up in front of a fire with a good book. When you're ready to stretch your legs, an amble through the woods clears your mind and lets you gather your thoughts before putting them on paper.
Beyond simply offering a place away from the distractions and noise of the daily grind, we've got even more to offer readers and writers this month.
Book Swap
Bring a book to add to our eclectic collection and take one of ours home with you. We have all sorts of genres and authors; there's sure to be something for everyone.
NaNoWriMo Support
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo this month? What do you need to achieve your word count? Extra coffee packs, a thesaurus, a self-serve lunch so you don't have to interrupt your creative flow, moral support or a figurative kick in the pants? Let us know and we'll do our best to help you reach your goal.
