Do You NaNo?: find out more about national writing month!

Calling all writing fans!  Whether you've been writing for years or just have some fantastic ideas for a story that you never had time to put on paper, here's some great motivation to sit down and plug out that novel you've always wanted to write.  November is National Novel Writing Month (or 'NaNoWriMo' for short), a time when writers across the world challenge themselves to come up with 50,000 words worth of a novel in the space of thirty days.



This may sound a bit crazy at first.  Fifty thousand words in thirty days is no slouch, especially if you're balancing school, a job, or any sort of life at all.  But what better way to make yourself finish a project than setting a deadline and sticking to it?  Many writers can tell you how hard it can be to find the motivation to not just start writing a novel, but plowing through the stress and self-doubt of actually finishing it.  Through NaNo's website, writers find a community of support where they can trade ideas, encouragement, and review each other's work.
