Ok everyone, it’s one week until November, so you know what that means.¹  It’s almost time for the First Annual NaNoWriMo!  You don’t know what NaNoWriMo is? It’s National Novel Writing Month. Don’t be put off by the misleading title,² the aim of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel by the end of November.  Here’s the faq.

So you’ve never written a novel?  Not to worry, just dive right in.  The only requirement is some kind of writing device.³ Here’s my profile, so all I need now is an idea for my novel.  Please leave your ideas what I could write about and glowing reviews of my novel in the comments, and enjoy the magic of writing in November.

1. No, not another year wasted, although that is true too. ↩
2. National Novel Writing Month is international and you only need fifty thousand words so it’s more like a novella. The Writing and Month parts are accurate ↩
3. Even pen and paper would qualify, although counting the words by hand could be tough. ↩
