We're all moving to Fort Collins.

Last week, NaNoWriMo Program Director Lindsey and I flew to Colorado. It was the first time we'd ever business-tripped together, and we were flying out to throw a thank-you party for the Fort Collins NaNoWriMo region. The FoCo folks gathered over 10,000 books for the drive last fall, which earned them a huge spot in our hearts. And a very large pizza party.

The fiesta, held in the space kindly donated by the Fort Collins library, was so much fun. We met a ton of great people, ate fantastic food, and even got a chance to sample a couple of the locally brewed libations. Before leaving town, we also visited a couple of Fort Collins' dreamy independent bookstores and cafes.

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the party and inspired us with tales of high-velocity prose! We want to extend a special hug to the Fort Collins Municipal Liaisons Jewels and Bonnie, who did so much work to make the evening happen. Lindsey and I both went a little FoCo loco, and plan on moving to Fort Collins shortly.
