NaNoWriMo 2013!



It's the first day of NaNoWriMo! 

Have you heard of National Novel Writing Month? It's exactly what it sounds like, you write a novel. In a month. I know, it's crazy, but totally achievable! Know how I know? I did it last year (while working full time, training for a 1/2 marathon AND going on a vacation). And so did Keith.

Have you ever wanted to write a book but were afraid it would suck? Or you've been meaning to write down that great story but you just never seem to have the time (even though you spent 3 hours scrolling through your tumblr dash last night)? NaNoWriMo is the answer to your dilemma! Let me let John Green explain it, he does a waaaaay better job than I could. Plus there's puff!



So, like he says, NaNoWriMo gives you the freedom to suck. The first draft of a book is supposed to suck. So if that's what's holding you back, stop it! Go sign up at http://nanowrimo.org/ (it's free) and start your book along with a HUGE online community to inspire and motivate you for these 30 days!

And if you don't want to write alone, join me and other writers at the Write-Ins I'm hosting at the library this year!



November 2 3:00-5:00 Kick Off!
November 13 7:00-8:30 Write-In
November 25 7:00-8:30 Write-In
November 27 7:00-8:30 Write-In

DFTBA,
Sti

Coraline Trailer!

Here's the best trailer for Coraline so far. And it's actually Neil Gaiman's (he wrote the book) favorite! The movie comes out February 6th and I'll definitely be seeing it that weekend, so if you want to see it with me let me know and we can get a group of people to see it together! I know Kathleen and Mallory are already on board! dftba, Sti

First Blog Ever!

Well, this is the launch of the new Friendswood Library Young Adult Blog. I chose the name Book Bag after looking at the names of some other libraries' blog titles, but if there is a better name out there, let me know! I created this blog primarily so you can find out what activities are coming up for the 11-16 age group here at the library. I'll be posting brief descriptions of our activities, photos, book reviews, and other interesting things that I happen to see. In recent news: the TAG Christmas party was December 8, and everyone worked together to make it a success. Thanks to all the hardworking volunteers! We ate holiday snacks, sang Christmas karaoke, and had a snowball fight outside! Check out the library's Flickr site for all the pictures. We're taking a brief break during the Christmas holidays, but we'll be starting up again on January 11 with personalizing snack dishes to use every week. Instead of throwing away bowls and cups after our Fr...
