*National Novel Writing Month Stories *
In our first Falcon Time rotation, a number of SFMS students participated
in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWirMo). They spent nearly two months
outlining, writing, and editing stories – or the opening chapters of larger
pieces they are expanding. Some of the students who participated in
National Novel Writing Month would like to share their work with you.
Below are two links; one is to a document containing excerpts from several
NaNoWriMo stories. The other link is to a survey. Once you have had the
chance to read these previews of your classmates’ work, the survey will
allow you to cast your vote in a number of categories – including most
interesting characters, most interesting story excerpt, and more! If you
would like to vote, please read the excerpts and respond to the story by
January 25.
