NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month
Have you heard of NaNoWriMo? It’s short for National Novel Writing Month, which is an annual creative writing project. During the month of November, creative minds all over the country take up the challenge to write an entire book, at least 50,000 words. Believe it or not – anyone can do it. It just takes dedication and determination.Each year the University of Toledo hosts workshops and write-ins to encourage and inspire the creative mind. This year, we’re working in partnership with the University of Toledo to encourage people throughout the community to join them and learn more about the creative process. Each event will focus on a different way of creating literary works. These workshops are to help inspire works of literary art.
