JM Reinbold Guild Director My writers' guild, the Written Remains Writers Guild, is hosting a Mini WriMo in November. A mini WriMo is a mini writing month. Why are we hosting a mini writing month during the same month when the infamous NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and NaNoLand madness is in full swing? Sounds like a crazy idea, doesn't it? Yes, but maybe not so much. Here's why.
