Welcome to Team of Dreams' Presentation of NaNoPrep Dreams 2022, where our five admins, YvonneKindle (Yvonne), NDeMeer (Naomi), sky_is_limit (Sky), Loutka (Loutka), and chaotic_narurx (Mags), will support the prep course provided by NaNoWriMo. Come November, we will be starting up NaNoWriMo Dreams, our own NaNo book club.
