November is National Novel Writing Month!

Freedom Library is hosting weekly meetings on Mondays in November to get your novel underway. The Monday sessions are for teens, and require that you first signed up. Sessions are from 3- 4 pm in the upstairs computer lab.


So what makes a "novel?"
NaNoWriMo uses word count to define a novel. The contest seeks entries that are at least 50,000 words. To give that some perspective, a full page typed using MS Word and font size 12 is roughly 1,000 words. So we're talking about 50 full pages.
