New Writing Marathon

4/21/2014

1 Comment

 
Did you hear? There's a new 3-Day Novel Writing Marathon coming to Toronto. 

If you've never experienced a 72-hour writing marathon, you really should add it to your Bucket List. It is an amazing experience for a writer. I know, it sounds overwhelming at first, thinking about trying to stay up for 72 hours straight, but something happens to you...you find amazing strength, just like a superhero, and surprisingly, you can do it. You will write and write, until you hear the horn signifying the marathon has come to an end. It's all thanks to the little brain chemicals, called endorphins. Neurotransmitters send messages pumping through your nervous system, giving you the ultimate energy to keep going and going, like that little Energizer Bunny.

I've had the pleasure of participating in quite a few 3-Day Novel Writing Marathons:
  • The International 3-Day Novel Contest (Vancouver)
  • The 3-Day Novel Marathon (Owen Sound)
  • The Muskoka Novel Marathon (Huntsville)
So, I was very excited to hear there was a new one that popped up within driving distance of Owen Sound. With all the writers scattered across South-Western Ontario, there is no doubt in my mind that this marathon will be successful. Seriously, if you have never experienced writing in a 3-day novel writing marathon, you must participate in one.

Check this opportunity out at: TaNoMa

PictureMartin Avery & Cynthia Langill
There is one very cool detail about the Toronto Novel Marathon (TaNoMa) that you may not know... the same guy, who is one of the co-founders for this new writing marathon was also a co-founder for The Owen Sound 3-Day Novel Marathon, The Muskoka Novel Marathon (MNM) and The Great Canadian Winter Novel Marathon in Pickering. 

The guy who gets all this credit is non-other than, Martin Avery! He has some amazing experience at organizing a writing marathon (and writing novels ~ check out some of his books HERE). This year, he has teamed up with an elementary school friend of his, Cynthia Langill, and together they are organizing a novel writing marathon to raise awareness and funds for Recovery from Addiction. 

Sponsors' donations will go to Renascent, an abstinence based treatment centre facility that treats men, women and families with addiction issues (a 12-step philosophy).

TaNoMa Details

  • Writing Marathon Date: August 1st - 4th, 2014
  • Place: Renascent’s head office at 38 Isabella Street in midtown Toronto. 
  • How many writers: There is space for 27 writers this year and they expect that number to double by next year.
  • Registration Fee: $100
  • Rules: Go to TaNoMa Rules and regulations HERE.
  • Prizes and Judges: Go HERE.
  • Charity and Fund-raising information: Go HERE.

Hi Lori! Thanks for all your support. Just one small thing, it is ToNoMa, not TaNoMa.
With friends like you how can we go wrong?? We have a lot to learn from you and MNM!

    I love reading, writing and Skittles. I’ve been writing for 
    a decade or two now, but only over the past few years have I started calling myself a writer and actually believing it. I want to share my experience with you.
