Description

So you’re planning on signing up for a popular international program where you write an entire novel in a single month – what next? This class provides those participating in NaNoWriMo a space to talk, commiserate, and cheer with a group of people who are doing the same wild thing you are. Most importantly, it also gives you a space and time to focus on writing your novel. Exercises all contribute to your word count and half of every class is devoted to getting that word count up.

Writers of all skill levels are welcome – from beginners putting their first words to page to seasoned novelists. The only requirement is a dedication to writing 50,000 words in the month of November.

Class Topics:
WEEK 1 – WHAT THE HECK AM I ABOUT TO DO
WEEK 2 – GETTING THE WORDS ON THE PAGE
WEEK 3 – FINDING TIME
WEEK 4 – KEEPING UP THE MOMENTUM
WEEK 5 – THE FINAL SPRINT/WHAT COMES NEXT
