Write a Novel in November – Go on!

October 19th, 2010

November is National Write a Novel in a Month or NANOWRIMO. Last year 167,150 individuals attempted to write their own 175 page novel in 30 days, and 32,178 of them managed it.

Why, you might ask, would anyone attempt such a foolish thing? Well, says the NanoWriMo site: “The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era’s most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality.” There is something attractive about bashing out a whole draft of an idea before your inner critic gets a chance to strangle it at birth. Speed the plough! You can sign up via the website and the goal is to complete 50,000 words by midnight on November 30th.
