Class Description
Class Descriptions:
It’s April and that means it’s Camp NaNoWriMo! For the month of April, writers all over the world will declare a creative goal and spend 30 days writing their pants off. Camp NaNoWriMo is similar to November’s National Novel Writing Month, but with a fun twist: Camp NaNoWriMo is a writing challenge that lets you choose your own writing project and path rather than focusing only on a novel. The possibilities are literally endless: write a poem every day; create a graphic novel with your friends in one month; rewrite that novel you wrote back in November, etc.
This class will be a fun and generative write-a-thon day! The goal is to have fun, write a lot, and meet fellow writers. Equipped with prompts, fun writing games, and a sense of humor we will spend the afternoon “camped out” with our creativity and see where it takes us.
Takeaways:
If you have a specific April goal you want to work toward during this write-a-thon day, great! If you have no idea what you want to write but know you want to write something, great! You will leave class with new ideas and material, ready to take on the rest of April!
