Write Your Novel This November

This month’s creative prompt:

It’s NaNoWriMo! That’s National Novel Writing Month, which takes place each November. All around the world, thousands of writers are writing every day, with the goal of completing a full draft of a novel this month.

Ready to join them? Head over to NaNoWriMo for tips and inspiration. They even have downloadable novelist workbooks to help you brainstorm, develop your characters, and map out your plot.

We love to publish novel excerpts at Filament! (And poetry, nonfiction, and visual art, too.) Submit your work to Zinc’s World Mythology Contest or to our general submission pool. Deadline: February 1, 2024.
