At San Mateo County Libraries, we’re celebrating National Novel Writing Month, opens a new window (NaNoWriMo) with workshops designed to fight writer's block, refine your prose, mimic famous writing and create family stories. You can also Come Write In alongside fellow writers at Pacifica Sharp Park and San Carlos Libraries and be inspired by your fellow authors churning out their word counts.
During NaNoWriMo every November, writers around the world pledge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. While that might seem daunting, your writing doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be!
I have a story to tell...if only I had the time...
I’ll write my novel...someday.
I’ll start writing in the new year.
If that sounds familiar to you, you’re not alone! While great ideas might come to us, it’s often hard to pick up a pen/pencil/stylus/keyboard and craft a story... a paragraph... even a word! Just finding time to sit down and write can feel like a chore. And who knows if you’ll ever finish?
This November, why don’t you give NaNoWriMo a try?
Be bold, have fun and write on! Your novel is waiting!
