NOVEMBER WRITERS' MONTH MARATHON
|
Since 1999, November has become the go-to month for writers to focus, create, and make progress—thanks to initiatives like National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), Novel November, and StoryADay. Whether you're starting something new, wrapping up a long-term project, or somewhere in between, this is your moment.
As the year winds down and the days grow shorter, why not give your writing a boost before the festive season and end-of-semester rush?
