National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) officially begins each year on November 1, when participants start working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 PM on November 30. For those of you mathematically challenged, that’s 1,666 words a day — if you write 7 days a week.
I’ll admit I’ve never been successful at past NaNoWriMo efforts, but this year I really need the inspiration. I’ve had a story in my head for a while, and just haven’t been writing it — 50,000 words would go a long way to getting me to a finished first draft.
So here goes. Wish me luck and good writing!
If you’d like to find out more, it’s not too late to sign up. Find the scoop here. Oh, and if you need validation (beyond knowing you’re actually trying to write  your book), you can even earn badges! I’ve already earned these two badges… and it’s only the first day! I could get into this…
Badge for creating novel on NaNoWriMo
Badge for filling out my author profile.
Good luck! I won’t be participating this month. I did do Camp NaNoWriMo this summer, and find that it’s a great way to keep motivated.
Thanks Pam. I am off to a slow start!
Good luck Judy! I’m also participating in NaNoWriMo this year. 🙂
good luck to you to Joanne
