Is NaNoWriMo for You?
July 25th 2010 20:40
You've heard about this insane bunch of writers from all over the world who get together in November and write a novel in 30 days and you think, "That's awesome, I want to do that." Which is great, I'd say you should. If you've always wanted to write a novel, NaNoWriMo may well be the kick in the backside you need to get you writing.
Before you jump in without knowing what you're getting into, consider these questions:
Are you willing to sacrifice watching TV, spending time with your friends, sleep? To finish a novel of at least 50,000 words in 30 days, you have to write 1667 words per day on average. There are a number ways to make sure you'll make the daily quota (on most days) - more on those ways in a later instalment of the Beginner's Guide to NaNoWriMo - but the most important one is to make time for writing. Writing a novel is a commitment. Are you committed to your writing dream? Can you imagine changing your life for a month to commit to starting AND finishing a novel?
Yes? Good, you've got what it takes. Go to www.nanowrimo.org and sign up now.
