The United States::Indiana::Indianapolis NaNoWriMo region consists of the city of Indianapolis and the greater metropolitan area.

History

The Indianapolis region has existed formally since the dawn of time. Longer that your region, I'm sure. We're cool like that.

In 2011, the addition of a Facebook group made Indy's members much more active, and the group began meeting post-November to organize other writing events and continue moral support for writing. At that point, the group also adopted the nickname "Nindy".

Indiana Short Story Writing Week 2012

Indiana Short Story Writing Week February 19th - February 26th. "Winning" is having a complete short story of 2,000 - 5,000 words in that week's time, rough or polished.

Nanoween

Nanoween is a joint Halloween/Nanowrimo kickoff party held annually at Indy Reads Books since the bookstore opened its doors in 2011. Traditionally, participants come late in the evening to celebrate, eat, and brainstorm about their upcoming ideas; come midnight, the store goes silent as dozens of participants start writing frantically.

The event goes on until everyone goes home, or the person who has the keys to the bookstore gets too tired to drive and makes everyone else leave. Typically that point is hit around 4 AM.
