Time to Write Your Novel!
Are you participating in NaNoWriMo this year?
What is NaNoWriMo?
NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, and it takes place annually during the month of November. The goal of participants is to finish a 50,000 word, (approximately 175 page) novel by 11:59:59, November 30. Even though the event started on November 1, it’s not too late to register and get writing! For more details, visit the National Novel Writing Month website.
