There once was a novel idea
that started with a simple challenge:
draft a fifty thousand word story
in only 30 days—oh what talent!

Over time it showed explosive growth
as people joined en masse worldwide
To pen the next great novel
Something they hoped would bring great pride.

A series of scandals rocked the group
toppling the juggernaut of writing,
and left those who enjoyed the craft
in the dark, homeless and crying.

But many have taken up the cause
to shelter those who lost their way
and bring back the devilish dare like
Novel November at ProWritingAid.

So writers, gather yourselves and your hope
with caffeine and your best writing gear
to make ideas reality
with the help of madness and no fear.
