Hello from Fan Expo Denver!
As we do most years, the Denver region of NaNoWriMo has a community table at the expo, plus two panels about NaNoWriMo: one tomorrow about the Young Writers program, and an intro to NaNoWriMo on Sunday.
It's a great time to reach out to the community. We get a lot of people walking by who are interested in writing or who have kids who are interested in writing, but have no idea what NaNoWriMo is. We do also get people coming by who recognize the name or who have participated in NaNoWriMo before. Occasionally we even see familiar faces, participants we know from our local events.
The table is a lot of sitting around though, because most people trolling the vendor hall are looking for things to buy. Possibly my favorite (even though it's a little anxiety-inducing) is the panels, because we get to talk about our experiences doing NaNoWriMo. We usually do a short intro and then just take questions from the audience. It's fun and we joke around a lot, in between the more serious answers.
I hope if you're in Denver, you'll stop by our community table to say hi or come join us for our panels!
