November is National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo. Every November, participants take the challenge to complete an entire novel in just 30 days. Official rules state that participants begin writing November 1st and must finish by midnight, November 30th. The word count goal for the adult program is 50,000 words, but the Young Writers Program (YWP) allows 17-and-under participants to set reasonable, yet challenging, individual word-count goals. In 2012, over 80,000 young writers participated through the YWP. Take the challenge yourself this year and get creative!
The HHS Library will be hosting an after school NaNoWriMo event, Wednesday November 6th. Creative writing resources, writing prompts, and more will be offered to help get you writing!
