Coming Up! Teen Write-Ins and NaNoWriMo!

I'm excited. Are you excited? November is National Novel Writing Month! For anyone over 18, you commit to 50,000 words in 30 days and try to write a novel. Think that's impossible? It is possible. Just look at some of your favorites, Cinder by Marissa Mayer was a NaNoWriMo book (and I suspect all of the Lunar Chronicles will be) and so was Anna and the French Kiss. So it can be done and the book can be published.

Lucky for anyone ages 13-17, you just have to commit to 30,000 words in 30 days or your own personal goal.
Ms. T is on board!
So are you a NaNoWriMo participant? I plan to be and this year, we'll be hosting Teen Write-Ins! This is open to teen writers and teen NaNoWriMo-ers on Saturday afternoons at Blue Bell at 3:30 PM. We won't be meeting November 2nd but we'll start November 9 at 3:30. Want a reminder? Sign up here.

All writers between the ages of 13-17 are welcome to come in for one hour of furious writing! Bring your computer (laptop or netbook, please), notebook, or tablet to write from 3:30 to 4:30 PM.
