You bet! We’re so glad it was helpful!

Congrats!

Way to take the second path!

Also, I wrote a Week One pep talk that will be going out to NaNo 2.0 newsletter subscribers in a few hours. If you'd like to get it, you can subscribe here: nano2.org/subscribe/

That's a really healthy way of looking at change. And that makes my day to hear NaNoWriMo had such a positive impact on you. It changed the way I saw my potential too.

Please let me know if you have ideas on things we should add or do next to make the project more useful!

Agree. The era of having a central place where the world's writers gather sadly feels like it's over for now. But people are starting to find support in smaller communities, which is awesome.

I hope NaNo 2.0 can be one of those communities, and also provide a map to help writers find the others.

I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO EMAIL YOU ABOUT THIS VERY MATTER!

Thank you so much for these incredibly kind words! ❤️

Aw thank you! And I was just thinking about Debbie’s comics yesterday! 🤣

Hi! Chris Baty here!

I think at this point there are maybe 3 "NaNoWriMo 2" projects floating around. 😂 I'm part of the volunteer team working on www.nano2.org. We're a static resource site for kids, teens, and adults doing the challenge. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it!

Meeeeee.

Oh that's so wonderful to hear, Lauren! Please tell your students we're cheering them on!

We're working on a blog post now with tips from teachers on doing NaNoWriMo with their students. If you'd be up for sharing any nuggets of advice for the article, please send 'em my way!

Thanks, Mari! We did get them spayed, neutered, and chipped and I think you're probably right about food insecurity. Great advice!
