About: (excerpt from ywp.nanowrimo.org)
"National Novel Writing Month happens every November! It's a fun, seat-of-your-pants writing event where the challenge is to complete an entire novel in just 30 days. For one month, you get to lock away your inner editor, let your imagination take over, and just create!That means participants begin writing November 1 and must finish by midnight, November 30. The word-count goal for our adult program is 50,000 words, but the Young Writers Program (YWP) allows 17-and-under participants to set reasonable, yet challenging, individual word-count goals.
In 2011, 250,000 adults participated through our main site, and 50,000 young writers participated through the YWP."
* Sign up to start writing!
* Write in whatever program you like, and then copy paste your text into the website to add to your word count goal!
* Check in with me, Miss Lehman, for any help, advice, or to just share the experience! I've participated in the event before, and it can be a real challenge and a good exercise for any writer to push themselves.
Write now. Edit later.
In order to be a writer, you must write.
