NaNoWriMo is the writer's annual marathon.
Starting 1st of November, many writers roll up their sleeves and jump into the challenge of writing a fifty thousand word novel by 30th November.
Initially limited to the USA, it is now an international, movement. All over the world a bunch of writers scribble away like mad, cheering each other as the heat builds up!
What makes it so incredible is that YOU challenge yourself. No one is monitors you. If you take short-cuts, no one is going to question you—and no one will know. Except you and your reader, perhaps.
If you complete it, you get no tangible reward; if you don't, you attract no penalty. But can you imagine how you will feel if you DO finish writing a fifty-thousand-word novel in 30-days!? Whoa!
That elation is the reason for the popularity of this challenge. You're not doing it for others, but for yourself. You are the only critic you find toughest to please.
Sounds interesting?
I will help you keep on track. You will be far less likely to go down some rabbit-hole and emerge after twenty years, like Rip Van Winkle. Because for sure, NaNoWriMo will be long gone by then—and half your life, besides.
