Let Me Tell You a Story — Conversations with Local NaNoWriMo Group

Last Thursday, Nov. 7, representatives from the Sophian braved the cold and took a trip into downtown Northampton to Haymarket Cafe to meet the local writing group participating in National Novel Writing Month. Fondly known as ‘NaNoWriMo,’ this annual national tradition presents a seemingly simple goal — attempt to write 50,000 words of an original manuscript within the thirty days that November provides. As many who have attempted can attest, it is not as simple as it sounds. NaNoWriMo is an online based project that is supported by hundreds of local writing groups just like the one we met in the Haymarket Cafe.
