EPISODE 063 - Wrappin' Up the Wrimo

This week's non-movie topic:
"Episode 59 saw a two-part discussion on an annual November festival of words called National Novel Writing Month. And even though there are still 8 whole days in which to finish your 50,000 word novel, this week will find another annual event: Wrapping up the Wrimo. Newbies: How well has NaNoWriMo met your expectations? Vets: How has this year been different from years past? Plus, we'll hopefully hear some excerpts from this year's word flurries, and a few other questions thrown in just for giggles."
