WRITERS' BLOCK: Some of the writers in this year’s Muskoka Novel Marathon gather for a photo at The Hideaway on Friday before embarking on a long weekend of pounding out words in the hope of producing a winning manuscript. All proceeds from the event go toward Muskoka Literacy Council programs. [NOTE: The Muskoka Novel Marathon was begun by Martin Avery and Mel Malton, under the Huntsville Festival of the Arts banner. Although the organizational torch has been passed to the Muskoka Literacy Council, it is still an official HFA fringe event. This year, the marathon took place July 20-23 at the Learning Centre; the resulting manuscripts are currently in the hands of the judges and awards will be given out at a later date.]
