✨ Event Schedule
4:00–4:30 PM – Welcome
Check in, grab your nametag, jot down your word count goal, and get comfy! Enjoy light snacks, drinks, and ambient fantasy writing music while you mingle with other writers.
4:30–5:00 PM – Author Talk: Local Guest Speakers
A panel of local authors and writing coaches will share their insights on staying motivated, breaking through writer’s block, and revising mid-month. Hear real success stories and “what I wish I’d known” advice from those who’ve been there.
5:00–5:30 PM – Writing Game #1: “Plot Twister”
Roll the Writing Dice to get random elements like time, place, POV, conflict, and theme — then craft a 100-word scene! Read your mini-stories aloud for laughs and inspiration.
5:30–6:00 PM – Brainstorming Workshop
Pair up or form small groups to talk through your writing challenges. Share plot holes, character snags, or worldbuilding woes — and help each other find creative fixes.
6:00–6:30 PM – Break
Stretch, snack, and chat! Enjoy refreshments and connect with new writer friends.
6:30–7:00 PM – Writing Game #2: “Group Character Therapy Session”
Step into your characters’ minds! A moderator (or brave volunteer “therapist”) will ask probing questions like:
🗣️ “Why does your protagonist avoid their destiny?”
🗡️ “What trauma haunts your villain?”
Answer in character and discover new layers to your story!
7:00–7:30 PM – Writing Sprint + Word Count Share
Set your timer for a 20-minute sprint! Afterward, celebrate your progress with optional word count shout-outs. Share your success online with #DragonWriMoBoost or #WriteLikeADragon.
7:30–8:00 PM – Cool Down & Networking
Wind down, mingle freely, and share your favorite moments from the night. Don’t forget to browse the shelves — the best stories always find their readers here.
🖋️ Bring your notebook, laptop, or favorite quill — and come ready to reignite your creative spark!
