June is an excellent time to pick up an abandoned project and find the end. Or start a new project between now and then and plan to finish it in June! A lot of us have piles of incomplete projects sitting around, so we wanted to have a month to focus on finishing things.
Raiders of the Lost Manuscript
Use the month of June to navigate your way to the mystical treasure many seek but a precious few have grasped - a completed manuscript!

Announcement: First off, thank you for joining this community & keeping the writers’ spirit alive & well year round! Secondly, we'd like to be open & candid with you as we always have been. Come this NaNoWriMo 2024, all your current MLs for the NYC region will be stepping down.

Okay Nighttime Novelists, we've got another one for you! 6. Are you plotting this NaNoWriMo novel, pantsing it, plantsing it, or are you a rebel and it's not a novel at all? #NYCNoWriMo those replies!

NYC Society of Wayward Writers @nycwaywardwriters.bsky.social · 06/11/2023
Please forgive your ML! Posting these Nighttime Novelist questions whilst juggling NaNo events, writing, and life has been a bit rough. Better late than never, though, right? 5. Is your MC a subway person, a bus person, a cab person, or do they walk everywhere? #NYCNoWriMo

Oops! We've been having so much fun at our evening write-ins this weekend that we neglected to post last night's Nighttime Novelist question! Here it is: 3. What NYC breakfast spot would your character(s) patronize? Remember to include #NYCNoWriMo in your replies!

It's time for another #NYCNoWriMo Nighttime Novelist question! 2. Tell us one random and interesting thing about your MC (and for those of you new to this, that's "main character").

This year, we're bringing back our Nighttime Novelist evening questions! Tonight's question lets us get to know you a little bit, Wrimos: 1. What borough(s) are you writing from? Remember to put #NYCNoWriMo in your reply so we can see what you share!

NYC Society of Wayward Writers @nycwaywardwriters.bsky.social · 01/11/2023
Happy November 1, Wrimos! Woohooooo! You can do this! Tap away at those keyboards, dictate into those phones, scribble onto those notepads-- there's no wrong way to get those words!
