Hey everyone! It's time for my annual post about National Novel Writing Month - or NaNoWriMo. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it's an annual event run by a non-profit organization called the Office of Letters and Light. It's a very simple concept; you write a 50,000 word novel in thirty days, from November first to November thirtieth. :)

All you need is a computer with internet. First, you sign up at the website here, and then plot your novel. Beginning November 1st, at midnight, you begin writing your novel! The only rules are that you cannot have written any of the novel beforehand, and it cannot be the same word written 50,000 times. By signing up, you get the support and encouragement necessary to write a novel, and the tools to keep track of your novel's progress!

Many regions of the world also have awesome people called Municipal Liaisons who serve as volunteers to organize events in the scary place outside of the internet we call "real life," in which people get together, write, and have fun. I am one of these people, in case you wanted to know. :P With their/our support and a whole online community of writers cheering you on, 50,000 words in 30 days is no problem - it's only 1,667 words a day! It's definitely worth a try, it's free to participate in, and if you win, you get discounts from the events' sponsors and a completed novel!

So what are you waiting for? You can all do it!

Succeeded twice running now, but this November is busier than either prior month.

Will try, but no promises :P

I'm gonna do it this year, though with fanfic instead of creating a whole world like I tried last time and failed horribly.

Do we get any prices if we succeed, packlords? :rolleyes:

I'm in again. Less than 12 hours 'til the start. Going to try and aim for over 70,000 words, personally, but I'll settle for 50,000 if I can't make it. I do have exams right through November, but hopefully they shouldn't interfere too much.


Edit: Right, so it's started for me, but it won't let me edit in the 1200 words I've written so far :( (It's 1am, I'll do the rest of the day's quota tomorrow :P ).
