It’s October–that means National Novel Writing Month is around the corner! Have you started thinking about your novel? Maybe you’re new to NaNoWriMo and don’t know where to start. Perhaps you could use some pointers on how to make life easier while you write your novel during the month of November. Whatever your level, be sure to take advantage of the series of workshops happening across central Florida during the month of October. These workshops are brought to you by Central Florida Inklings, Orange County Library System, and Writer’s Atelier!
