It’s NaNoWriMo!
If you are puzzled, this is not a newly invested word by some crazy writer who has been cut off from society for too long! NaNoWriMo stands for: National Novel Writing Month. This means that as of today, time zone by time zone, writers all over the world will hear their call to the almighty keyboard, to pen down that 50.000 word novel that has been on their mind for God-knows-how-long.
Sound challenging? It is! The idea of NaNoWriMo is however to get those 50.000 words on paper or your harddrive, and worry about editing the pile later.
If motivation is a problem, taking up the challenge of writing a novel in 30 days is definitely a kick in the pants! I am actually tempted to tag along with NaNoWriMo, and write up something that has been bugging me for over a year now! It’s now or never, so let’s get started on writing that novel!
2006 Counted 79.000 participants, with 13.000 of them crossing the 50k finish line by midnight November 30th. That is a huge accomplishment, and it begs me to wonder: who will read all those novels?
Whether the answer to that is nobody, your kids or enough people to get you on the New York Times Bestseller’s list, the NaNoWriMo is a fantastic way to get creative, and start writing!
Here is a cool post on what you need to get started on your 30 day novel writing challenge!
