Dreaming about writing a novel? NaNoWriMo is a great chance to get your book idea going. During the month of November, aspiring and published authors from around the world have committed to writing 50,000 words in thirty days.

Today we welcome NaNoWriMo published author Jennifer Kelland Perry, whose book Calmer Girls was part of a NaNoWriMo challenge.
Thank you for joining us, Jennifer!
How many years have you participated in NaNoWriMo? First of all, thank you for inviting me for this interview. I’m truly honored to be here. I have taken part in NaNoWriMo three times since 2013.

Hi Barbara! Thanks again for this interview. I loved the questions, and now I can’t wait for November 1st. I’ll check back and share the library post on my blog in the morning. Much appreciated! xx
That’s awesome – I’m excited about NaNoWriMo. I have an idea and I’ve been attending some virtual NaNoWriMo prep classes through the library which include a “Writer’s Lounge.” I worked on the plot a bit on Monday night. Thank you for agreeing to do the interview. I’m glad you enjoyed the questions!
That prep work sounds great, Barbara – good for you. I’ve been outlining off and on this month. Have you signed up to the NaNo site yet? I’ll have a look for you this weekend.
Hey Jennifer – it’s on my list to do soon!
Fun interview! Thanks for sharing, Barbara.
Thanks for reading, Jill. I know you’ve had success with NaNoWriMo before. Enjoy your weekend!
You’re welcome, Jill! I think we will re-blog your interview on the library blog. I’ll let you know when that happens 🙂
I’ve heard of NaNoWriMo every November. Maybe I should jump on the bandwagon this year and get my next book shaped up. It’s not a novel, but whatever the genre, those who participate seem to make huge progress. Thanks for the nudge, Jennifer, and to Barbara for posting this!
You’re very welcome, Marian. Just about any writing project will fit the bill for NaNoWriMo. If you do go for it this year, I wish you success. 🙂
Hi Marian – I hope if you decide to do it that you have fun with it. You can write nonfiction with NaNoWriMo. Best wishes!
