What does NaNOWriMo stand for?

NaNoWriMo stands for “National Novel Writing Month”

When is NaNOWriMo?

November 1 – 30th every year.

What is NaNoWriMo anyways?

NaNoWriMo is free to join. What you do at NaNoWriMo is that you write a novel in 30 days or try to at least. No editing your work, just write. The Goal is to get 50,000 words in a month. Wow 50,000 words is a lot. That overwhelmed me as well but since I am giving writing a try, I took on the challenge too. I first heard of NaNoWriMo from a writers workshop in Fort St. John, BC. They nagged and nagged me to join. So I looked around to see if it would help me. They told me to use Scrivener, but I do everything on my own so I don’t need that program. You do the 50,000 in small bits at a time. The scale is so small that you can write as much or as little as you like. Could be for an hour a day to the full day if you please. The standard is 1,667 words a day but that is exactly 50,000 words. For one page is 250 words, so that is about 6-7 pages. You can donate if you want to but it is not required. They have a forums to help both new writers and experienced writers out. They keep you informed what is modern and what is popular. Depending on your book type theme there is always someone there to help you with your ‘Writers Block’. They can give you ideas that you have never thought of so you can keep writing.
