NaNoWriMo
It’s November, and it’s NaNoWri Mo – National Novel Writing Month. National as in US, of course, but an interesting concept nonetheless.
The website explains how it all works, but in essence, by the end of this month the aim is to have a 50,000 word novel in the bag. Not of publishable quality, of course, but perhaps a first draft of something more promising.
Here are the rules. It might be a fun way of keeping students engaged in these twilight weeks.
POSTSCRIPT: 3 November
John Green on NaNoWriMo, the writing process, discipline, revision and the permission to be far from perfect. This is on of his Vlog Brothers videos – he’ll be updating his NaNoWriMo reflections daily.
