Open Mic Night Submissions

To be considered for sharing on an open mic night meeting, you must submit your piece(s) for review and approval beforehand. All submissions will be considered on a first come-first serve basis. The ones approved for that night of sharing will be posted in our meeting slides. We will share as many as possible, and pick up where we left off at the next share out/open mic night.

NaNo2.0

Are you an aspiring novelist? Do you dream of becoming the next J.K. Rowling or John Grisham? Do you enjoy imaginary world-building and developing relatable characters? If so, crack open that laptop and join the FLVS Creative Writing Club as we participate in Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short). 

This free worldwide event lasts from November 1 - November 30th and is designed to provide support and encouragement for writers of all ages. Participants in NaNoWriMo challenge themselves to write the first draft of a novel in 30 days. 

“National Novel Writing Month is a fun, empowering approach to creative writing. The challenge: draft an entire novel in just one month. For 30 wild, exciting, surprising days, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!”

Writing a novel is no small feat! To accomplish this task, NaNoWriMo participants commit to writing approximately 1670 words per day, for a total of 50,000 words by the end of the month.

This year the FLVS Creative Writing Club has set a club goal to write 1,000,000 words in the month of November, and we invite our greater FLVS community to join us and help us do just that! 

1. This is being revamped for this year! Stay tuned. 

There is no better way to start writing than with NaNoWriMo. We hope to see you there!
