While I love fall colors and pretty autumn leaves as much as the next girl, November means something totally different to me. I’m one of the participants crazy enough to try to take on National Novel Writing Month.
What exactly is NaNo, you ask? Well, according to Executive Director Grant Faulkner, NaNo is “s a rollicking conversation about all aspects of writing, and an invitation to dare to do what seems impossible. As any NaNoWriMo writers have discovered, the best way to learn to write a novel is by simply plunging in to write a novel.”
The challenge is to complete a 50,000 word novel in a month. NaNo staff provide participants with word-count helpers and plenty of initiatives to complete the seemingly impossible task.
