NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is a time for TJ’s writers to express themselves by creating a 50,000-word novel within 30 days. Throughout the month, writers race to come up with plots and characters while still meeting the word requirement by the end of November. From rich and colorful worlds to dark realities of society, writers use their imagination to weave together a story of their very own. Aileen Zhao, Lily Walters, Ms. Ketchem, and Ms. Henry explain their love of writing and their experiences with this unique challenge.
