NaNoWriMo? What the..?!
I know it sounds weird but it's great fun. Let me explain. It stands for National Novel Writing Month. It is a crazy race to get a rough draft, and I do mean very rough draft of a novel written in 30 days. Yes folks 50,000 words from November 1st to November 30th. They emphasize fiction writing but really it can be about anything, from that autobiography you have been meaning to write, to how to make Klingon battle gear, to knitting with cat fur. I mean really what else can you do with it after all?
NaNo is in it's 10th year and going stronger then ever. The official book "of No Plot? No Problem!" by Chris Baty, one of the founders of NaNoWriMo is a blast to read even if you never plan on partaking in the crazy antics of this marathon writing month.
