November 1-30, 2014

Let’s join in support, accountability, and getting your novels done during Nanowrimo!

Benefits

For November we will gather in the Fellowship of the Pen to write your novel.

Goal: Write your novel in November!

You will have:

• A safe space to write your novel, in community with authors like you
• Small and intimate group support
• Help with the sagging middle
• Accountability to sit down and write daily
• Tips and techniques on how to make room in your life to write daily (or nearly daily)
• Brainstorming opportunities with your cohorts when you’re stuck
• Support with re-assigning the critical, editorial, judging (left-brain mind)
• Cheerleaders for what you’re creating from your peers and knowledgeable mentors, Beth & Ezra Barany, and coaching assistant, Carol Malone
• Practice sharing in a safe place; you only need to share what you feel comfortable sharing
• Feedback from peers (optional and peer-generated)

Who This Course is For

— This course is for writers who will be doing Nanowrimo, but want the added support of experienced teachers and mentors, who are also novelists: Ezra Barany and I, Beth Barany. Yep, we’re married, and actually met at a fiction writing group 16 years ago.

— If you’re dedicated to the idea of writing your book but are overwhelmed by all the emails Nanowrimo sends, and want intimate group support.

— This is your first novel and you’re not sure what you’re doing, but you’re determined to see this experiment through.

— You’ve done Nano several times and never finished, and this time you really want to finish and feel great about it.

— You’ve done Nano and felt totally lost by the time you got to the middle of your book.

We’re here to help you!
