I am getting excited. It is almost November and time for NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. The challenge is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I would like to challenge you and your students to join me.

I have participated in NaNoWriMo a few times. The first time resulted in my book, Read to Succeed. My last attempt has sparked progress to a book I am currently finalizing. I am hoping to have it released in the next couple of months. I am using this NaNoWriMo event as a catalyst to feed my latest book idea.
NaNoWriMo is a perfect vehicle for jump-starting a writing project. I think this is a wonderful challenge for students. It is a stretch goal, but it lets them know what is possible. Students will learn how to break down a large task into smaller, more manageable parts as well as manage a schedule to deliver on time.
This week, I am going to tell you about NaNoWriMo and my writing strategy. I will also encourage you to join me in this year’s NaNoWriMo.
