Are you missing NaNoWriMo? Then come and write your novel with Fictionary. We can still celebrate November Novel Writing Month.
An “online write-in” is a virtual gathering of writers who come together to work on their individual projects. It’s a modern take on the traditional concept of a writing group or session, but instead of meeting in a physical location, you’ll connect online in any of the events listed below. At the Fictionary School for Writers & Editors, we’re hosting a month-long writing event.
Our goal is to help you write your novel by providing a sense of accountability and community where kindness rules.
During a session, you will:
- Check in: Briefly share what you plan to work on during the session.
- Write silently: The bulk of the session is dedicated to focused, silent writing. This shared experience with other writers helps reduce distractions and increase productivity.
- Check out: At the end of the session, participants share what they accomplished.
Who Can Attend?
- Open to all members of the Fictionary School for Writers & Editors
- Maximum 40 people per session
Want to Make Sure You’re Successful?
This fall, we’re not just hosting write-ins, we’re giving you the process and support you need to write a structurally sound novel.
Here’s how it works:
- Outline Your Novel in October: We’ll guide you step-by-step through creating a strong outline. This means you’ll have a clear plan before you write a single word. Open to Fictionary Premium members.
- Write Your Novel in November: With your outline ready, you’ll be able to focus on writing and hit your word count goals with confidence. Open to all members of the Fictionary School for Writers & Editors.
You’ll join dedicated writers and editors who will host live sessions and provide encouragement every step of the way.
Outline Your Novel During “October Outliner”
Writing a novel in one month can feel impossible, especially when you see the daily word counts needed. A 50,000-word novel requires you to write 1,667 words every single day, and that’s just a starting point.
Imagine this instead: What if you had a solid foundation before you even typed a single word?
That’s what our October Outliner program is all about. Starting September 30th at 3 PM ET, join the Story Foundations: Outline Your Novel course, so you can build the core plot of your novel.
Whether you’re a plotter or a pantser, the Story Foundations course provides a practical framework to establish the key scenes that will drive your story forward. By the end of the course, you’ll have an outline of essential scenes, ensuring your novel has the structure it needs for success.
Write Your Novel During “November Novelist”
Our November write-ins are hosted by dedicated volunteers of the Fictionary community who are just as excited about your success as you are.
Unlike other programs where presenters are in and out for a single session, our hosts are dedicated volunteers who are passionate about the Fictionary community. They’re here to help you build lasting friendships and connections with other writers who share your passion. They won’t pop in and out of your life. They’ll stick around and be part of your writing life in the Fictionary community.
