EXERCISE

National Novel Writing Month

Welcome to NaNoWriMo!

Dear Dr Forman,
High-five! You’ve finished the sign-up process, and we’re so excited to write alongside you this November. This page is part welcome wagon, part instructional manual, and part pep talk. (After you read everything, you’ll be able to reference it at any time by clicking on the “Welcome” menu item under My NaNoWriMo.)
What now?
Now that you are fully registered on the site, you’ll have the opportunity to complete your Author Profile and get to know other participants in the NaNoWriMo forums. To fill out your author profile, just click the “Edit Author Info” link and “Edit Novel Info” links from the My NaNoWriMo page. You upload your photo from the “Edit User Settings” link. (Remember to scroll down and hit “Submit” to save your changes!)
On November 1, we’ll unlock the novel-excerpt and word-count area of your author profile, so you can post your escalating word count, view your personal stats, and share an excerpt of your work-in-progress with friends and fans.

Myself as a Creative Writer

In a paragraph or so, describe yourself as a creative writer, both outside of school and in school. Go back at least to middle school and describe what your creative writing was like then and if you wrote stories, journals, or poetry or just messed around. Also, describe creative writing that was assigned in classes that you enjoyed. Finally, describe the arc of yourself as a creative writer over time and the trend you see now going forward. Last, describe the kind of reader you hope to become in the years to come. Use specific experiences and writings to make this mini-essay clearer.
