Yes, I have committed to writing a novel (50,000 words) in a single month. Crazy.
November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I have taken the plunge and committed to writing a novel (50,000 words) in a single month. Crazy.
I would also like your support. If you talk to me in November, just kindly ask how the novel is going. This will be enough support/motivation to keep writing, and if I’m NOT writing, this will be just the guilt I need to get my butt in the chair and write.
Only 10% of people that participate in this challenge “win”. Winning consists of finishing the 50,000 word novel, which is tracked online. I want to be one of the winners. The project started in November 1999 with 21 participants. Despite the name, the project is now international in scope. In 2004 42,331 people signed up to participate, 5,892 of them successfully reaching the goal.
If you've always yearned to write a novel yourself, feel free to join me in this challenge!
You can track my progress online at the website address below. I'll also send novel excerpts to those tracking me.
