Clarification: The headline has been updated to reflect that this is not an exhaustive list of all of the literary arts spaces and organizations within the city.
Nothing says creative writing like the month of November. Since 1999, artists across the nation have spent the month’s 30 days putting pen to paper (or fingertips to keyboard) in the name of literary arts. National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short, inspires writers to exercise their craft, write in community, and for many, author a story from beginning to end. In honor of the month’s creative excitement, we’re taking a look at some of the spaces and programs around the city that foster literary growth year-round.

Never enough time in the day because you’re always in your car?
How i write … in my car
I swear I’m not breaking laws or causing accidents, but I saw I was spending over 20 hours a week in my car and I needed to find a way to work.
I’m long winded as usual and I start the tip about 3:30, so if you want to skip, then I’m good with that.
Also, be aware, I am driving while I’m shooting this video, as usual, so I "talk" or "yell" at other drivers.
Plus, Detroit roads are a mother scruncher!
