National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is held nationally on an annual basis during each November. The Maylands Public Library will be hosting weekly informal creative writing workshops, based around the premise of Shaping a Novel from Life, to help participants reach their NaNoWriMo goal of writing a 50 thousand word novel in one month.
