NaNoWriMo

All November Nichole and Jeremy have been working on writing novels. 
Nichole is in a writing club at school. Since they are not meeting in person right now, the teacher is encouraging them to write and report on different challenges. November's challenge was to work on a novel for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The students were encouraged to set their own goal of number of words to write each day since the usual amount of words may be overwhelming for students in school with homework, etc. Nichole still set a goal that had her writing more than other students. Good job, Nichole. 
Jeremy worked on the second book in a series he is writing. Both he and Nichole participated in some virtual meetings with other writers throughout the month.

My goal for NaNoWriMo was to read a draft of the first book in the series Jeremy's writing and take notes on what was confusing and what was good, etc. etc. etc. I reached my goal and I loved that book. I'm excited to see the changes he makes when I read it again. 

The other kids got some time to write throughout the month as well, just not as much as Nichole and Jeremy. It's fun to be in a family of readers and writers. You already know the creativity is there.
