About
If you're bringing it down to the wire, we're with you!
NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. Every year, hundreds of thousands of writers attempt a great adventure during November. These aspiring novelists race to put down 50,000 words in just 30 days.
NaNoWriMo has helped kick off the drafting of many published novels like "The Night Circus," "Wool," "Water for Elephants," "Cinder," and "The Wedding Date."
Although originally intended for novel writers, the event has expanded to whatever writing project you want to commit to for November. The community of NaNoWriMo writers find kindred spirits, share ideas, and join in word sprints at NaNoWriMo.org, online forums, and Discord communities.
BARN's Writers’ studio is hosting regular (free) write-ins during the month of November where we can cheer each other on and keep the fires of inspiration burning.
