WRITING

As writers, I hope that each creative writing piece will challenge your creativity, refine your storytelling skills, and actively require you to "SHOW" the story rather than TELL it.

Below are some really amusing sites that will help take your stories to another level. Go ahead. Try one. I dare you.


Storybird Storybirds are short, art-inspired stories you make to share, read, and print. **Take your story and make it into your own book. All you have to do is find the right artwork to fit your story.**

**National Novel Writing Month** **November 1st - 30th** **What:** Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month's time. **Who:** You! We can't do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let's write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together. **Why:** The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work. **When:** You can sign up anytime to add your name to the roster and browse the forums. Writing begins 12:00:01 November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at 11:59:59. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins. Still confused? Just visit the How NaNoWriMo Works page!
