NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month Options

[haute ecole rider]

Have any of you ever tried this?

National Novel Writing Month (fondly known as NaNoWriMo) is a challenge to writers everywhere (international, not just in the US) to write 50,000 words in 30 days. It doesn't have to be perfect. If it's crap, it's okay. They're not interested in what you write so much as challenging you to just simply write.

I have to agree with the concept. Just write 50,000 or more words in 30 days or less. There's time later to go back over the material and make it better.

I heard about it last year, but didn't join. This year I've decided to take the plunge. I'm wondering if any of my fellow writers here on Chorrol.com have tried this. If not, I'd appreciate encouragement from you! If so, please share your experiences - I'd love to hear about them!

For those of you who are curious about it, here it is:

Well, today's the first day of NaNoWriMo, and I've picked out my story idea (from a bunch I've digitally jotted down over the years) and started it. I figure if I shoot for 2000 words a day I should have no trouble making 50,000 words by November 30th. After my first pot of spiced tea, I've already got nearly 1,000 written.

I'll try to keep you guys updated on my progress as I go along! Wish me luck!

And I'm off!
