Kick Start your Creative Writing!

November is National Novel Writing Month and our first floor display has all the books you need to get writing! Need some inspiration? Check out some novels by authors such as Charles Bukowski or Kathryn Stockett or get some writing tips from some famous writers themselves.

On NaNoWriMo’s website you can see the history of the yearly event and how it works, keep track of your writing progress, ask others in the writing community for advice, and read pep talks from some published authors such as Kate DiCamillo.

But I can’t write a novel in three weeks, you say! It just starts with one chapter- but why not try a short story or a personal essay or maybe a one-act play?  So cozy up with a cup of cider this November, meet up with some friends at a Write-In (or JKM Library welcomes you to work here of course) and get writing!
