Ten Days And Counting...

Things to consider...

How much time can you commit to NaNoWriMo 2011?  How many words can you commit to writing?  It's exciting to say "I'm going to write 50,000 words in one month", and it's very possible because this is our club's third year doing just that.  But you must consider your age and grade level.  I'd rather you start with a lower word count and surprise yourself if you write more than feel like you've "failed" because you set your goal too high.  We've lost all of our ninth-graders to high school this year, and now we're blessed with fourth-graders who want to write with us but are very young.  Please remember that your priority must always be school.  Grades come first.  Talk to your parents and discuss this endeavor.  Determine what works best for you.  We're thrilled you're joining us!

I've created a NaNoWriMo bulletin board outside my classroom in the hallway.  Stop by, add your name to the list and write your projected word count.   

NaNoWriMo begins November 1st!  Join us for our kick-off party and be prepared to start writing!  You can come to my classroom before school, during lunch (1st or 2nd) and after school until 5:00p every school day during November.  Join us when you are able.  Write at home if you can't write with us.
