When I student taught, my creative writing students took part in NaNoWriMo and I remember thinking that it was a great opportunity for teenagers to write....and write A Lot! But it's not just about writing, it's about what you can learn through writing a longer piece of writing.
This year, my NaNoWriMo novel is about an older woman who has just lost her husband. Through his death, she realizes that she doesn't know who SHE is without him. So she sells her house and goes on a 6 month trip around The United States. During this trip, she corresponds with her daughter through letters and you see their relationship change and grow. When a secret from the past comes out, will it ruin their relationship all over again? Will Rose figure out who she is now that she's on her own?
