National Novel Writing Month

Author: kris, Category: Events, News

November is National Novel Writing Month. This is a writing project that began in the Bay Area with just a handful of people, but over the years has expanded into a nation-wide event.

The challenge is to write 50,000 words of a novel in just one month. The fun part is that many, many thousands of people are trying to do exactly what you’re doing, and there are write-ins, parties and online forums to help you share the misery with the other participants.

The kick-off party for San Francisco is happening this Saturday, October 27, from 7 - 10 pm at Olive. After that, you can sign up for any number of writing groups in the city, or meet up with writing buddies through the forums, or just check the boards every day for your dose of friendly support. Me, I’ll be meeting some writers on Tuesdays at Cafe H from 12:00 - 2:30, unless I chicken out. This is a meeting to write together, not to read our work to one another. If you’re signed up for NaNoWriMo and you want to join us, everyone is welcome.
