National Novel Writing Month is almost Here!

All,
When I look out at the beginning of English class, I often see the novelists inside my students, ready to jump up and begin. Many of you are ready to get to the work of putting words on pages...page after page, to weave a great adventure or a romance or a story about something mysterious and important or all of these at once. Some of you seem ready to begin with no idea where your inspiration will lead. Join me and other novelists all across the country!

If you're interested, join us for NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. Register at the official website and let Mr Potts know you would like special consideration when it comes to homework this month. I'll be joining you as a writer and trying to support everyone with inspiring activities in class too.

The good news...This is a volunteer opportunity (not required) and since we are using the Young Writers Program version, we will set our own word count goal. When I know how many of us are going to begin, we can decide a goal.

Looking forward!
