Every year in November, writers of all shapes, sizes, and genres come together to tackle National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). With a goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days, the event challenges both aspiring and experienced novelists to prioritize putting pen to page to see what they can accomplish.
With November in full swing, you’re invited to join your fellow writers and the local Ottawa event coordinators for a “Write-in”: dedicated work time where you can bask in the camaraderie and creativity of your fellow writers as you sit down and put words on the page!
