National Novel Writing Month
Written by Matt B · first published 21/10/2009
Could you write 50,000 words in just 30 days? That's the challenge that people all over the world will be taking on this November
The month of November is (inter)national novel writing month (often dubbed NaNoWriMo) and the challenge is to average 1,666 words (about three pages of typed A4) every day. At the end of the month participants would have the rough draft of roughly two thirds of a novel and the reward of having written it.
I have taken part on this event for the past five years and despite mid month doubts have completed a word count of over 50,000 words (this is my profile). While I have no manuscripts ready for the publisher I have had the experience of producing a lot of work under a tight time schedule (often in somewhat adverse conditions).
It can be done and I challenge all of Thanet's bloggers to have a go.
