I love the idea of this annual event (now in its fifth year) and I am tempted to participate tomorrow. I really need a day of writing and it’s for a great cause.

The NYC Writers Coaltion Marathon provides an opportunity for participants to spend the day writing, meet other writers, attend free creative writing workshops, attend a  lunch time talk with Nicholas Dawidoff, bestselling author of The Crowd Sounds Happy, and help NYWC’s free creative writing programs for the formerly homelss, at-risk youth, seniors & others.

I’ve never done it but it sounds fun to me. Anyone want to do it with me? It’s on Saturday, June 12th, 2009 from 10:30am-6:00pm. There’s a free lunch and light breakfast will be served!

And it all takes place at the NY Center for Independent Publishing
20 West 44th Street, NYC
