We’ve flipped the calendar to November, which means it’s National Novel Writing Month. Would-be novelists the world over have set themselves word-count goals in order to finish a rough draft of a novel-length manuscript by month’s end.
To help with that, venues are hosting NaNoWriMo events where you can pull up a chair and get to work, supported by others who’ve committed to cranking out a longer piece prior to December 1.
Here are just a few around North Carolina, courtesy of Lady Banks’ newsletter and Authors ‘Round the South:
