About

“Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights,
but you can make the whole trip that way.” – E.L. Doctorow

These write-ins will feature writing sprints, community and NaNo graduates to share tips and tricks for your journey along the way. Use the write-ins to dedicate hours to your work-in-progress and absorb group energy that keeps the motivational fires burning. Giant vats of coffee will be provided for the Saturday morning write-ins.

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 the month of November where we can cheer each other on and keep the fires of inspiration burning.
