NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) begins on November 1, 2024 and ends November 30th. 

This event is for BAWL members who want to participate in NaNo this year and are looking for daily support and encouragement.  

For those who want to participate: we will meet up via zoom every day of November from 9:30 am to 10:30 am central time.  The events on Mondays and Wednesdays will overlap the normal write-in events. 

If you want to participate in NaNo but not this particular support event then you can join the BAWL group in NaNo. Here is the link. 

Only if we have four or more participants will this event take place. Therefore, please RSVP and if we have more than four they will receive a confirmation email as soon as the threshold is met. The Zoom link you receive with your registration confirmation is the normal BAWL zoom account and the one we will use for this event. 

Note: The November write-in events could overlap the NaNo events.

Our Write-ins start with a prompt. Participants write for about fifty minutes and then read what they have written. It's a great way to get your creative juices flowing and start your day. You can also write about a project you are working on and use or not use the prompt; it's your choice.

Our method instills a sense of commitment to writing, providing a gentle push to get started. We value camaraderie and foster a welcoming environment where participants are not obligated to share their work. While there are no strict rules, we kindly steer clear of political discussions to maintain a friendly ambiance.
Join us on Monday and Wednesday Mornings at 9:30 a.m. 

After three attendances, we require membership in the Houston Bay Area Writers League. It's only $30 a year. (We can help if you need it. Just ask.)
