Challenge: NaNoWriMo

If you're a writer and haven't heard of NaNoWriMo, you've been living in a cave.

Time to wake up!

NaNoWriMo is--of course--an acronym for National Novel Writing Month, which, voila! happens to be November. From November 1-30th, participants (free, my friends) vow to do their absolute best to write a novel or 50,000 words in that novel, whichever comes first. Lots of advice, interactive stuff on the site to help you in your quest.

I just checked in on the site and you can still sign up. It's harder than it looks, though. I'm thinking for next year I'll propose the NaToYoInEd to run parallel to NaNoWriMo.

(National Turn Off Your Internal Editor Month, if you're curious).

Visit Chris & the gang at NaNoWriMo.org.

Happy (prolific) writing,
Beth
