Ready, set, write!
Do you like to write? Dream of seeing your work in print? If so, get ready for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) taking place each November.
A message from NaNoWriMo author, Alexis Daria:
"When the writing gets hard, or when it all feels like too much, remember why you write, and that there is value in what you’re doing. Stories matter. Your story matters.
It’s time to write it down."
Join our CHHS Writing Group for support and encouragement along the way!
What are you waiting for?
Happy writing, Chargers!
This week:
Book of the Week
The Marrow Thieves
by Cherie Dimaline
In a dystopian future, a young Métis boy, Frenchie, comes of age while fleeing capture. Along with a group of Indigenous young people and their leader, Miig, they resist the constant threat of being harvested for their dream-carrying bone marrow. Growing up on the run, Frenchie learns how to hunt, trap, and keep moving north to survive, but climate change has caused chaos and collapse around the world. The group must escape the Recruiters, who cause loved ones to disappear forever, and adapt to harsh conditions. Through "Story," told by Miig, the protagonist learns about history, his culture, and how precious they both are in a society that seeks to process his people like cattle.
