Following a successful partnership in 2015, DWL will be participating in the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) again this year. Several of our 2015 participants completed their 50,000-word drafts within the 30 days of November and we’re hoping for an even better result this time. We have planned writing sessions in Islamabad and Karachi.<\/p>\n

The Pakistan Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo, Christie Lauder, will be helping participants in Karachi with preparatory exercises and tips on novel writing through November.<\/p>\n

For participation in offline writing sessions in Islamabad and Karachi, shoot us an email at islamabad@desiwriterslounge.net and karachi@desiwriterslounge.net respectively.<\/p>\n

Here’s a message from DWL’s Karachi representative about the time and venue of the Karachi writing sessions: “We will be hosting the weekly write-in sessions in November at T2F every Saturday from 4-6pm. We will also be hosting a mini-workshop on the 21st of October at the same venue. The kick-off party will be on the 29th of October.<\/p>\n

We will be charging a nominal fee for the write-in sessions. However, we are offering a discount if you register with us before the 20th of October. So what are you waiting for? Contact us at: karachi@desiwriterslounge.net and get ready to write! [Details of the fee and time of various events will be provided once the registration is confirmed.]”<\/p>\n

In order to take part in NaNoWriMo, you will have to create an account at\u00a0nanowrimo.org<\/a>. Anyone anywhere in the world can participate. Writers are required to write as much as 1,667 words each day and\u00a0update their word counts on the website.<\/p>\n

We’re also discussing novel writing and sharing NaNoWriMo prep exercises on our workshop forum<\/a>. You will need to register<\/a> for the workshop to be able to post there. Please include a writing sample while registering and add a note in the writing sample informing us that you want to participate in NaNoWriMo with DWL. Thanks!<\/p>\n
