It's almost hard to talk about the imminent departure of Molly Blaisdell for Texas.
She's done so much for our region and is a writer beloved by everyone who knows her. (And you can get to know her through her blog.)
She leaves us early next month, and Allyson Valentine Schrier is hosting a See Ya Later, Molly evening on Thursday at Secret Garden Books in Ballard, from 7-9 p.m.
Everyone is invited to attend. We're going to miss you, Molly!

NaNoWriMo starts Sunday
Lois Brandt sends this reminder: NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) begins Sunday, Nov. 1!
Hemingway chose 500 words a day, Ray Bradbury chose 1000 and Mark Twain chose 3000. Every author needs a word count goal. Why not write a novel in November at 1667 words a day? Sign up (it's free) at NaNoWriMo.org.
For SCBWI'ers participating in NaNoWriMo we have a free support group on Facebook. Come join us for advice, camaraderie, chat and (yes, it happens) a chance to gripe about novel writing.
Email Lois Brandt (Lois@LoisBrandt.com) or friend her on Facebook for more information about the support group or the NaNoWriMo process.
And don't forget Molly Blaisdell's Golden Coffee Cup starts the same day. It's an alternative to NaNoWriMo for people who want to establish a clear goal, but maybe don't want to sweat out an entire novel. More info here.

Fourth Annual Golden Coffee Cup
Join Molly Blaisdell at her blog from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 for the Fourth Annual Golden Coffee Cup. Make a goal and keep it. Win free coffee. Earn a Golden Coffee Cup virtual badge. This is a motivational event in conjunction with NANWRIMO. To learn the rules and more check out: Seize the Day.
I know I'll be participating. NaNoWriMo isn't quite right for me, but my goal for the month is to plot my next novel, sketch out the characters, and be ready to write by December.
