Writing: NaNoWriMo plug

I am not sponsored. Especially by a 501(c) non-profit.

I have participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) for years now. I have rarely “won,” but I keep trying. It’s a fun exercise if nothing else. A challenge.

And even if you are not a writer, I would like to shout out the organization, because they do so much more than just entertain me every year. They manage a Young Writer’s Program for K-12 educators to use. This includes classroom kits, workbooks, and more. Getting them creating early and addict them…. I mean educate them in the love of writing.

It’s also quite the community both in person (though not in 2020 and at least in Atlanta most of the “Come Write In” events are listed as virtual) and digital. There are regional volunteers who help wrangle the events and community.

Seriously, if you have a few bucks to spare this month, I would encourage you to potentially donate to them. Support them in their efforts to encourage and grow creative people.
