November is National Novel Writing Month
tags: books |
National Novel Writing Month occurs in November each year and inspires tens of thousands of people to write novels within thirty days. This is the tenth year of National Novel Writing Month.
According to the NaNoWriMo website (as it’s shortened to), National Novel Writing Month is,
a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.
I think the introduction of the Kindle may help independent authors in getting their first books published. NaNoWriMo is a great kick in the pants to those of you thinking about publishing your first novel on the Kindle, or otherwise.
If you’d like to participate, you can sign up and track your progress at NaNoWriMo.com. Novel writing ends at midnight on November 30th, so start thinking about your novel now!
