NaNoWriMo

My friend Joanna informed me a little while back that National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo as it is called by participants) is November. www.nanowrimo.org

During the month of November, participants will attempt to write a 50,000 word novel (about 170 pages) without editing themselves. Just write. On the website you will find forums and communitys that are "competing" with one another to reach the 50,000 word goal. You will also find within these community's events such as kick-off parties at the end of October to meet fellow NaNo's, new and old. There are also write-in's where neighboring NaNo's meet up weekly to encourage one another.

So far I have pulled 2 friends into NaNo-dom with me this year. Pann and Kristina. Pann lives here in Philly but Kristina lives in FL and we have decided to have our own little competition against one another. She will actually be visiting me during the month of November so she will be attending one of our write-ins with me too! Yay!
