I am so proud of my students, my club members, my colleague, and myself. November is over; we have written a grand total of 328,624 words! Six of our thirteen aspiring novelists won by completing their personal word count goals. The next step is to work on revision and editing so we can get our free copies of our novels printed and then possibly look into publication!
I hope some of you will consider doing NaNoWriMo with your creative writing students in the future. It has been an incredible adventure and I am already looking forward to next year!

Way to go! Really cool! I mentioned NaNoWriMo to my kids, but I wish we had done more with it.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really exciting experience. One of my students is already talking about her plans for next year's NaNo! Let me know if you decide to do NaNo and maybe we can set up our classes to have Word Wars and do some collaborative write-in events!
