NaNoWriMo Comes to NU!
This year OLS@NU is partnering with the NU Writers Club to bring the National Novel Writing Month to Nazarbayev University. Throughout the month of November, students and faculty will be writing their novels and short stories, aiming for lofty goals of 15,000, 30,000 or 50,000 words written. To learn some more about what NaNoWriMo is about, check out NaNoWriMo.org or follow the NU Writers telegram channel, the NaNoWriMo at NU telegram group. It's not too late to join, even if it's November 29!
