Writing Gooder

Probably a bit late to be telling you, but JulNoWriMo starts in July. As in, tomorrow.

It’s exactly the same as NaNoWriMo (the National Novel Writing Month), only it’s in July instead of November. As usual, the aim is to write a 50,000+ word novel in only a single month. You can find the official site here.

I intend to join in – I really need to get the first draft of the Greatest Book Ever Written finished, and this is the perfect opportunity.

Anyone joining me?

[A hat tip to canislupis for posting about it on the forum.]

[Oh, and no, I didn't make that awsome Dragon Ball picture. Nabbed it from ICanHasCheezburger.com, which is another great site you should check out.]

November is a little more than half over, so where are you on your NaNoWriMo novel?

The first time I heard about NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) was back in either 2001 or 2002.  I was a member of The Young Writers Club, and another person was talking about having to write 50,000 words during the month of November.  I didn’t hear anything else about it for another two years.

Now NaNoWriMo attracts tens of thousands of writers.  Only a precious few ever complete their novel, but most do get a fair ways into it.  The goal, as mentioned already, is to write at least 50,000 words in November  That’s over 1600 words a day, which is no mean feat.

If you’re interested in participating this November, head on over to http://www.nanowrimo.com.  And if you are planning to participate, let us know what your novel is going to be about.
