NaNoWriMo – What’s That?

National Novel Writing Month is a yearly international event that takes place the whole month of November.  In essence, it’s an excuse to stop making excuses and actually write!  Many of us have stories or poems, memoirs or travelogues in our heads that we’ve always meant to write down and just “have never found the time.”  In November, you can give yourself permission to make the time by joining thousands of people worldwide – and dozens in your hometown – who are also making the effort to spend time writing this month.

Whether you decide on the traditional challenge (writing 50,000 words of a brand-new novel in those 30 days) or become a NaNo rebel (just write! poetry, nonfiction, adding to previous work, short stories, whatever), bring your questions and get ready for NaNoWriMo November 1-30!
