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:

VICTORY!!!!


Just finished Chapter 22 and I'm at 50,080 words! As the two main characters haven't even kissed yet (though they got verrrry close in Chs 20 - 22), it looks good for another 50,000! At least!

Not bad for ten days' work, huh?

And I'm off to write Chapter 23! Thanks for the support, everyone!

Oh, and I think Julian is enjoying this one too much to tell me the rest of her adventures. Like me, she is a closet romantic.

And the gimp is still sulking. Too bad.
