NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. According to its website “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.” and “Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It’s all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.”
It sounds like a heck of a lot of fun to me, and since I’ve always wanted to write my own Great American Novel, I’ve signed up! I plan on blogging about my experience here, and even putting up my nightly additions to the novel (possibly in a separate self-contained website). Stay tuned as the writing commences at midnight November 1st..
