For those who don’t know, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. It’s a simple challenge intended to get people writing instead of just thinking about writing. I know myself this is a struggle, I often feel like I have lots of good ideas but never actually act on them, it’s one of the reasons why I started this blog (although I’m realizing it’s harder than it looks to get good ideas out of my head and onto a document). The rules of NaNoWriMo are simple: write a novel of 50,000 words or more over the course of a single month (November, to be specific). I plan to try to do this myself, and might even publish on my blog the bits of my novel as I write it, if I think they are any good. I might not, who knows. But I feel like by writing my plans down here and now, I’m going to be much more likely to stick to them instead of planning in my head and then just… not doing anything.
