National Novel Writing Month at John C. Hitt Library
Events, Learning Engagement Posted: October 30th, 2017This November the UCF John C. Hitt Library will be hosting our second annual series National Novel Writing Month activities.
What is National Novel Writing Month you ask?
National Novel Writing Month, known as NaNoWriMo for short, is a month long writing challenge that began in 1999 and is run by nanowrimo.org. The goal is to write 50,000 words by 11:59 pm on the last day of November. It is a worldwide movement that is open to anyone who wants to try writing a novel.
Here at the John C. Hitt Library we will be offering four workshops and four open writing sessions:
