About

“Every novel I’ve written includes a minefield of quicksand located precisely in one place: the gaping expanse of the middle.” – Grant Faulkner

The dreaded midpoint. The mucky middle. You’re either riding a wordcount high and have reached the ultimate flow-state, or you’re like most of us and slogging through. Halfway through the month, pretty much everyone needs a little boost! We'll be holding down the fort for a write-in on Wednesday and will extend our Sunday Write-In for an extra couple of hours to celebrate the midpoint. Anyone is welcome to drop by for the whole session or just part of it. Prior year NaNo winners will be available for hugs, troubleshooting, and pep talks.

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. Every year, hundreds of thousands of writers attempt a great adventure during November. These aspiring novelists race to put down 50,000 words in just 30 days.

NaNoWriMo has helped kick off the drafting of many published novels like "The Night Circus," "Wool," "Water for Elephants," "Cinder," and "The Wedding Date." 

Although originally intended for novel writers, the event has expanded and you can work on whatever writing project you want to commit to for November. The community of NaNoWriMo writers find kindred spirits, share ideas, and join in word sprints at NaNoWriMo.org, online forums and Discord communities.

BARN's Writers’ Studio is hosting regular (free) write-ins during November where we can cheer each other on and keep the fires of inspiration burning.
