National Novel Writing Month
otherwise known as NANOWRIMO
The basics of it is that on November 1st you start writing a novel. On November 30th you stop writing. You can not edit, doubt yourself, or otherwise stunt or sabotage your success. Lots of details here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/en You can buddy up with pals on the website and share snippits of your work, share your current word count, cheer each other on, etc. It's fun! Who is in? |

I may try it again. I've participated before and gotten overwhelmed with work. As it happens I'm in the midst of writing a technical certification book.

I did this a few years ago and actually successfully finished a children's fantasy novel (which I still need to go back and edit and polish a bit).
It's so tempting...and I also know I have a tremendous amount going on in my life in November....and I've also been threatening to write a non-fiction book for ages now..... Ughhhhh......I'm a maybe. I'll let you know before November 1.

I have done this to some degree almost every year for the last 5 or 6 years.
This year, I am dealing with a full-time workload, a full-time school load, and this site but I think I am going to try to squeeze in some time to write and do this project again. I'll start it knowing that I might not complete it but I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a little bit every day anyway. I am medusagoddess over there!

Yeah, last year my world got a little blown to pieces in November and I only got halfway through.
This year November is wicked busy but I'm going to dig in anyway. I'll sleep in December. I'm tamalamadingdong over there. |

Wishing everyone good luck!
It's a fantastic concept, and especially inspiring to see people making time for writing, come rain or shine or flashing disco lights. I wish all the participants the best of luck and most of all lots of awesome fun! Get those numbers crunching!

Just write what you can, when you can. It is still more words then if you don't write at all.
