November is:

National Novel Writer’s Month

 For those of you who write,

For those of you who wish you wrote,

For those of you who pretend to write

For those of you who will write…someday

For those of you who want to casually drop reference

 There is a  month for you

And that month is NANOWRIMO

SAB is sponsoring students to write through the month of November with the goal of creating a work of 50,000 words.
At which point you will technically be considered “a novelist”

Three students accomplished this feat last year, and we are looking for a bigger turn out this year

For more information please visit http://www.nanowrimo.org/
