How do I prepare for NaNoWriMo?
There are preparatory workshops in October this year. See the calendar for details. If you've missed the preparatory workshops, see the notes and slides from all our past workshops.
What is the Library Crawl?
The brainchild of Sarah Kovac (librarian at Carol Stream and sarahk06 on NaNoWriMo), the Library Crawl is intended to add a bit of fun to NaNoWriMo and encourage participants to visit each of the participating libraries in November, attending their write-in events.
This year, NaNoWriMo's events will be 100% virtual because of the covid-19 pandemic and the risks it brings. Because of this, the write-ins will be online events, hosted on Zoom, MS Teams, and slack.
When are the write-ins? Who is hosting?
During the month of November, there are many write-ins.
Some write-ins are actively hosted by the MLs, other Wrimos, or library staff. There may be word wars, huzzah balls and other games (box of doom, for instance) and maybe even some small virtual prizes to encourage a lot of writing.
You can also find online write-ins every day in our online chatroom.
What are the write-in logistics?
We highly recommend for you to go to as many write-ins as you can. The more write-ins you to go, the more likely you are to reach that 50K word goal. And for each library crawl write-in you go to, you collect a themed library card. Trust us, you want those cards.
What do NaNo participants do?
Just attend the scheduled write-ins; you'll have an opportunity to sign-in at the write-in. The more write-ins you attend, the greater your chance of winning a prize at our Thank Goodness It's Over Party (TGIO).
What are the prizes and how many prizes can I win?
Prizes are TBD.
Do I have to be present to win?
Yes, to win a prize you must attend the virtual TGIO party.
Which libraries are participating?
