Intro

What it is

National Novel Writing Month starts November 1st!

Follow the directions on the Libguide to join the Derby  Writes! group.

You'll set a goal for how many words you want to write, and use the Writers Handbook to help with all stages of the novel-writing process.  In the class section, there will be daily inspiration from real writers, as well as mini-lessons or idea-starters to help when you're stuck.  The website will keep track of your word count and award badges as you hit each goal!  

Don't want to commit to writing a whole novel?  Fine!  Write a short story!  Or a series of poems.  Your word count goal is entirely up to you!
