For one month, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!
Some of the skills NaNoWriMo builds:
- Fluency: Writing so much in so little time boosts proficiency in grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and will help you approach future writing assignments with ease and confidence.
- Confidence: When creating so much text in such a short period of time, you'll realize just how much you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. NaNoWriMo leaves young writers asking themselves, “What’s next?”
- Creativity: Creating characters, situations, dialogue, and even whole planets from scratch helps you think, but it also teaches you how to apply their fanciful ideas to a full project.
- Time Management: NaNoWriMo teaches students how to tackle a huge project by breaking it down into manageable bites!
