No matter what prior years looked like for you, this will surely be a most unusual National Novel Writing Month. That’s why we’ve decided to make things a little easier for you. Gathered here are dozens of blog posts, videos, and more designed to help you and your novel make it through November.
Full disclosure: this is by no means an exhaustive list of all NaNoWriMo resources—just the ones we at Writer’s Atelier have to offer you about NaNoWriMo specifically. Expect this list to grow this year, and expect next year’s to be even longer!
And, as always, keep an eye on the Events tab on our Facebook page to make sure you never miss an event or virtual write-in this November!
Happy writing!
