In just one week, collectively our Novel Writing Club has written 170,000 words! That's just ONE WEEK! And the number does not include everyone - some writers have not uploaded any words yet, and one writer in particular is hand-writing her book until the end! Do you think the NaNoWriMo chart will accommodate our high word count (with three weeks yet to come?!) I am so proud of all of you!

Here's what I see each day at school...
I unlock my classroom door at 7:30a and students come inside, grab a laptop and start writing. Writers come into my classroom for both lunches - headphones on, music playing in their ears, stories unfolding in their minds, and sandwiches being eaten between keystrokes. THEN, after school students are again sitting at their tables, type-type-typing away! I couldn't be more proud of you!
So, Week Two has begun! Keep up the good work, persevere, and DON'T GIVE UP!
Mrs. P
