Which means two more months until Christmas (you will have no idea how hard it was to type that), and six more days before…..tada!!
NaNo (National Novel Writing Month)!!!
I really don’t like how the year went by so fast. I was just getting into the swing of Summer, then WHAM!! We get hit by cold air, rain, more cold air.
And now I get to hunker down each night in November at my keyboard and bang out about 1,400 words of creativity. The punishment I put myself through! lol
National Novel Writing Month (or NaNo as it’s affectionately called), is an organization of writers who offer one of several challenges to those who to pen the written word. In one month, writers are to write a minimum 50,000 word manuscript. It doesn’t have to be perfect; it a very rough draft of your work. The whole idea is to get your idea on paper; editing comes later. The other great thing about NaNo is you just write. No corrections, no going back (unless you have a scene to flesh out); you let your imagination run free-and it’s a wonderful feeling, let me tell you!
If this piques your interest, sign up at www.nanowrimo.org and check out the info and the tips offered to help you start.
I’m trying to finish a manuscript I started back in July before NaNo hits. If this doesn’t get me cracking, don’t know what will!
