Write "The Great Frantic Novel" this November!

Have you ever wanted to write a novel but can never build up the nerve? Have you ever wanted to write anything but can’t get past the thought of spending months rewriting and editing?

If you’ve had these thoughts, then the NaNoWriMo is for you! NaNoWriMo is a code for National Novel Writing Month, where people from around the world come together (via the web) and write. And write. And write. The goal is have a full 175 page (or approximately 50,000 words) novel by the end of November 30^th. The catch: you can’t start until November 1^st. So you better sign up now before everyone else gets ahead of you.

Here how it works: First, you sign up. Then you start writing. Write until your fingers can’t type anymore. When you start to feel completely overwhelmed or just plain tired, chat with people on the NaNoWriMo website to get your spirits back up (also update your word count status while you’re there). Then write some more. As their website says, “it’s about quantity not quality.” Don’t be afraid of your imagination. Let it run wild. And don't dwell on the fact that what you might be writing is complete hogwash, because in reality, everyone else probably feels the same way. And if you somehow miraculously finish…no, WHEN you finish, you get not only a cool printable certificate to hang on your wall, but the knowledge that you just pumped out 50,000 words in 30 days! How cool is that?

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today!
