NaNoWriMo Reminder

Just a reminder that NaNoWriMo has begun. You can begin writing your novels, if you are signed up, and copy and paste your writing into the website for a word count. I will be able to see your word counts, but not what you are writing. If you have not signed up and decide that you want to participate,  you can still sign up on the website and join my virtual class, so see me next week.
