Abbreviation for National Novel Writing Month, November of each year, celebrated internationally.

A review of the October 2004 presentation: “Last night was the write-in in the ABC Treehouse. To be honest I didn’t expect much of it. I merely went because Tijs and Derek were going and I was in Amsterdam anyway... but I was very pleasantly surprised! It was really a lot of fun!
There was a workshop by a writer called Lisa Friedman (or rather, she gave us tips and pointers and juicy stories to survive the dreaded month of November) and she did great. I’ve sat through a lot of workshops for school, and this is definitely one of the better ones I’ve ever been in. Lisa Friedman had a very engaging and amusing way of talking and offered some rather good tips and pointers. She ended with a round of questions (and believe me, there were a lot), and we ended the workshop with a freewriting session much like Tijs and I did the other day. Our prompt [was a sentence with a blank] and we had five minutes to write it out.
