It’s time! Time for hunkering down and writing that novel, and time for WA’s annual resource round-up!
This year, we’ve added a #AmWriting section with videos you can play and virtual write-ins you can join as you write to feel as though you’re writing alongside a friend and a Writing Advice section with—you guessed it—our best writing advice on to keep your pen flying or your fingers typing all month long.
In addition to all you see here, keep an eye on our blog and YouTube channel for writing prompts, inspiration, and so much more during National Novel Writing Month.
As always, you can find us in our free Facebook community, but this year, you’ll also be able to join us off of FB on Mighty Networks! Click here to join for free!
Download your FREE November Novel Planner now, and we’ll see you on the other side of NaNoWriMo!
Happy writing!
