National Novel Writing Month (November)

[Sweater Cows!]

NaNoWriMO This is for amateurs or pro's and anyone in between, read up on it and join the activity if you wish.

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

National Novel Writing Month (also known as NaNoWriMo /ˌnænoʊˈraɪmoʊ/) is an annual internet-based creative writing project which challenges participants to write 50,000 words of a new novel between November 1 and November 30. Its sister event is a script-writing challenge taking place in April called Script Frenzy.

The project started in July 1999 with just 21 participants, but by the 2010 event over 200,000 people took part - writing a total of over 2.8 billion words.^[2]

Writers wishing to participate first register on the project's website, where they can post profiles and information about their novels, including synopsis and excerpts. Word counts are validated on the site, with writers submitting a copy of their novel for automatic counting. Municipal leaders and regional forums help connect local writers with one another for holding writing events and to provide encouragement.

 

There is also a youth section to the site and a section for educators. This looks like fun.

I think I may write one called The City Hall Diaries.  A book about the weird characters and perverts that habituate a fictional City Hall in a fictional Michigan city passing fictional pieces of onerous legislation. 

But it may lead to me being banished from the local facility, LOL.
