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

Itâ€™s exactly the same as NaNoWriMo (the National Novel Writing Month), only itâ€™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.Â 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.Â I didn’t hear anything else about it for another two years.

Now NaNoWriMo attracts tens of thousands of writers.Â Only a precious few ever complete their novel, but most do get a fair ways into it.Â The goal, as mentioned already, is to write at least 50,000 words in NovemberÂ 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.Â And if you are planning to participate, let us know what your novel is going to be about.
