Can I tell you HOW MUCH JOY it gives me to see Michaella's quote?! 😍 She was in my very first #NaNoWriMo 8th grade class in 2011, & her joyful writing inspired so many of us in room 25. SO happy the classroom resources (workbooks, curriculum, inspiration) are back & FREE! nano2.org/young-noveli...

Before it shut down, #NaNoWriMo offered 100% non-boring creative writing workbooks and curriculum to K-12 classrooms.

NaNo 2.0's resident educator @lambradley.bsky.social preserved and updated all of it, and it's now available for free on our site! nano2.org/posts/2025/i... 📚

After they closed NaNoWriMo, I started chatting with some folks about keeping November’s writing adventure going in a more DIY form. Today, we launched a site! www.nano2.org.

Sweaty origin story here: nano2.org/posts/2025/w...

We’ll be noveling next month, and we’d love to have you join us!
