NaNoWriMo 2019

It’s almost November, which is likely to spark either elation or dread in the soul of the writer, because November means NaNoWriMo. As a reminder, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month; this event is a 30 day blitz for writers to write a full 50,000 word novel. Alternatively, wordsmiths can use the momentum to start or finish any writing project they desire. The point is knowing that you are not alone as you strive to create. Thousands of writers the world over are all bearing down at the same time, ripping their souls to shreds in order to tell the stories we all want to read.  

Even if you’re not a writer, take some inspiration for the month of November to be amazing, or as Benjamin Franklin said: “Either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing.”

Letter To The Editor – School Levy Importance

As a city council member in the late 70’s and early 80’s and a city employee for 24 years I have heard a lot of misinformation disseminated through “coffee shop” talk and later social media. It has always concerned me to hear incorrect information passed along by people who don’t bother to ask for the facts, when they are readily available. Right now I am hearing of things being said about the Deer Park School levy, particularly the need for a new bus barn, that are troubling.
