Whatty What I hear you ask?? (or Uh huh if you already know what it is)
NanoWrimo...or spelt out: NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth.
That's right. 30 Days. 50,000 words. 1 Story. And 1 very frustrated writer (hmm..just 1?)
Basically, you have 1 month to write at least 50,000 words of your novel. I don't know about you, but when I first read that I was like "50,000 words...PFFTT!!! I'd be happy with 500 words. THAT being said, on the weekend I sat down for a total of about 4-5 hours and ended up writing 17,000 words. ALTHOUGH here presents the problem that I have only STARTED my story. Novel, more like War & Peace length novel.
Anywho...I am excited to be back into writing again after being on a longer-than-I-should-ever-adm it hiatus.
Now one little vent. The rules are NO EDITING. THIS IS KILLING ME!!!! I have changed the plot about 6 times, one of my characters has a different name every chapter, and I can't seem to settle on the voice. It is driving me mad but at the same time, there is a weird relief and satisfaction that I don't actually need to worry about all this...well not until December which is the month that you second draft that Mo-Fo.
So if you are anything of a novelist or are interested in the like go to: NANOWRIMO
