The Northern Arizona Authors’ Association reports:
Interesting note to all our authors who have published books they wish to market: There’s a new independent book store in Flagstaff called Barefoot Cowgirl. It’s at 18 N. San Francisco St. That would be not far from the corner of SF St. and Rte. 66, I believe. It’s part of a larger store…a gift-y type establishment. The grand opening will be next Saturday, Oct. 31. The owner/manager’s name is Nancy Nelson. You can bring books that you’ve written that you hope to sell there….you don’t have to wait till Oct. 31.

Being pulled into the world of a gripping novel can trigger actual, measurable changes in the brain that linger for at least five days after reading, scientists have said.
The new research, carried out at Emory University in the US, found that reading a good book may cause heightened connectivity in the brain and neurological changes that persist in a similar way to muscle memory.
The changes were registered in the left temporal cortex, an area of the brain associated with receptivity for language, as well as the the primary sensory motor region of the brain.
Neurons of this region have been associated with tricking the mind into thinking it is doing something it is not, a phenomenon known as grounded cognition – for example, just thinking about running, can activate the neurons associated with the physical act of running.

Every November is National Novel Writing month in which writers participate in writing a 50,000 word novel in thirty days.
The idea was started in 1999 in San Francisco by Chris Baty [Facebook]. Every year since then the event has grown from 21 writers to over 300,000 in 90 countries.
The center for the activity is the NANOWRIMO web site. There are also various local chapters of the site including one in Flagstaff. There is a little over two-weeks to sign up for the event.
Participants sign up on the NANOWRIMO web site and agree to write a certain amount of words a day totaling 50,000 by the end of the month. The web site also allows authors to communicate with one another and provide encouragement.
The organization does not guarantee a novel sale, of course, and it will probably need a re-write. The web site only encourages the process after which you may have a novel to submit. Or you might choose to self-publish through web sites such as LULU or CreateSpace.
