| − | [http://www. | + | |
| + | Originally created to be a local partner to [http://www.nanowrimo.org NaNoWriMo] that provided the international organization, structure and online forums but relied on local (regional) organizations for the face-to-face support and local events (preparatory events and write-ins) that really enrich the whole NaNoWriMo experience. | ||
| + | |||
| + | NaperWriMo regionally represents the cities and suburbs west of Chicago. Do [http://naperwrimo.org/calendar.php visit our calendar of events] (most events are October-December). | ||
| + | |||
| + | We're a fun group that even has [http://naperwrimo.org/songs.php our own regional songs], which have figured into our friendly wagers with other regions over total regional wordcount. | ||

| + | |||
| + | == What is Novel Quest? == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Novel Quest is a free, annual, motivational challenge to writers to complete their novel writing or editing goal (e.g., 50,000 words or 50 hours of editing or some combination of the two) during the thirty days in November. There are regional in-person, virtual, and hybrid events to help participants stay motivated while having fun in the process. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Our primary community for this Illinois Novel Quest is within the suburbs of Chicago; however, we host most events in hybrid fashion. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With our community, we offer participants: free preparatory workshops (both in person and via a free online stream) to better understand the craft of writing, a community to support and encourage writers working towards their goals, and dedicated writing time (offered in person by volunteers and on Zoom, YouTube, Twitch, and Discord!). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Novel Quest can be built your way, done at your pace, so that you can make it your personal quest to complete. | ||
