So, now that the nominations period has closed and we are into November, I would like to bring to everyone's attention something cool that Skotos shared with me in a pm a couple weeks back.
Apparently November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short), and people are encouraged to pick up their pens or boot up their computers and sit down to write the book they've always wanted to. There is a webiste (
NaNoWriMo site) with info about the event, and even some helpful tips and guides to aid you on your way. The general idea of the project is to write a book, or if your book is really long, then write around 50,000 words, but the more basic goal is really just to set more time aside for writing. So I encourage everyone to grab a cup of tea, get yourself a cozy spot, and start writing!
If it is not thread-jacking (if it is, please let me know), I think it would also be nice if people participating said really quickly here what their goals are and how they are progressing. I myself am knee-deep in
Written in Sand and would feel bad starting something new, so my goal will be to make a huge push on that. I won't aim for the full 50,000 word goal, as that is a bit more than I think I can handle right now, but I aim to write around 30,000 words over the coming month. How about all of you? Are you gonna sit down and write with me? And if so, what are your goals?
