Kate Regina, from West Babylon, works on her mystery novel. November is National Novel Writing Month in which participants (there are 2,000 already on LI alone, and nationally the twitters etc are going nuts) write a novel in 30 days. Some LI participants are gathering at the Farmingdale Panera to work en masse on Sunday morning (usually there are about five people with their laptops).
