November marks the return of National Novel Writing Month, commonly known as NaNoWriMo. Writers embark on a challenge to write 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days. While this feat may seem daunting, you’ll find there are plenty of resources to support your creative writing journey!
NaNoWriMo Community
Chris Baty started the writing challenge in 1999 with a group of 21 San Francisco Bay Area writers. NaNoWriMo has since expanded into a nonprofit organization that supports nearly half a million participants across the world. Check out NaNoWriMo, opens a new window for resources such as:
- Writing tools
- Pep talks from well-known authors
- Programs for young writers
- Virtual write-ins and community events
