Students at Marianas High School have joined in the largest writing event in the world. They have set their goal of writing a complete novel in the month of November.
At midnight on Nov. 1, more than 25,000 kids and teens in over 400 classrooms worldwide will be poised over laptops and pads of paper, fingers itching and minds racing with plots and characters. They will begin their furious adventure in fiction. By 11:59 pm on Nov. 30, thousands of them will be novelists.
These students have jointed the National Novel Writing Month’s Young Writers Program, a nonprofit literary crusade that encourages aspiring your writers all over the world to write a novel in a month.
In 2007, over 100,000 adults, and 15,000 kids and teens took part in the free challenge.
NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program was created in 2004 and gives teachers, students, and 12-and-under authors a safe and kid-oriented place to spend an exhilarating month bashing out their books.
