In less than 30 days, it will once again be National Novel Writing Month ("NaNoWriMo"). For all the official information, check out the homepage where things are provided like FAQs, Forums, Breaking News, etc. What's it all about? Writing 50,000 words in 30 days time. As a fiction novel. Or, I suppose a non-fiction novel works just as well: the key is to get a novel done, first draft, start to finish within the time frame of November 1st to November 30th.
You're not alone. People all over the place take up the NaNoWriMo gauntlet each year. There are local groups that get together to write at coffee shops, for example, supporting each other in getting that word count.
In addition to the help provided at the official web site, there's also a Facebook page for National Novel Writing Month as well as a Twitter feed that's begun already as "sprints" during October, to prepare participants for the November word marathon. Interested? Check it out at @NaNoWordSprints.
I haven't decided if I will participate this year. Mulling it over.
