NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)is shutting down after greater than 20 years of internet hosting its annual problem for writers. In a video and an e mail despatched to group members, the nonprofit group explains that it could now not proceed “after years of monetary struggles.”
As proven within the video, NaNoWriMo interim govt director Kilby Blades particulars how participation and fundraising in this system have decreased in recent times. The NaNoWriMo web site will stay on-line for “so long as doable,” although it’s going to now not formally host its writing challenges.
“We acknowledge that the closure of NaNoWriMo represents an enormous loss to the writing group, and that grief over this consequence will probably be exacerbated by the challenges of the previous sixteen months,” NaNoWriMo’s e mail to the group says. “This is just not the ending that anyone wished or deliberate. And—imagine us—if we might hit the delete button and rewrite this final chapter, we’d. But we do have hope for the epilogue.”
