NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, Update

During the month of November, people all over the world participate in a wildly fun writing challenge. The competition is known as NaNoWriMo, which stands for National Novel Writing Month. The big challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel in just the thirty days of November. Mr. Taylor participates in this challenge and is encouraging his students to join in the fun as well. NaNoWriMo has a Young Writer’s Program that Legacy Academy is participating in this year. Twenty three brave middle school students have accepted Mr. Taylor’s challenge to write a 5,000 words short story during November.

As of November 11, our students’ collective word count is 11,376. Mr. Taylor’s word count is a measly 6,905 (he's very busy). As this challenge can be both loads of fun and incredibly difficult at times, please keep encouraging your student writers daily. If they are very behind, like Mr. Taylor is, remind them that there is plenty of time to catch up. Let’s not give up! We can do this!
