National Write a Novel in a Month Many of The Jackpine Writers' Bloc writers particitpate in NANOWRIMO and the reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.
