As some of you may know, November is the National Novel Writing Month, or, NaNoWriMo!
The website is here: http://nanowrimo.org/ (go check it out.) (seriously...) (do it.)
The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words or more before November ends. This year, we here at Wordsmith's Foundry, will be taking up the challenge! (I will definitely, I'm pretty sure Derek will be too... go comment on his stuff and tell him he best be doin' it. Wow I sound bossy today.)
The website is cool because it will show you writing groups in your region, give you a progress tracker, and when you finish you get a little pat on the back and a rah rah rah email (something cheery and encouraging, like a, YOU DID IT!)
I recommend that as November approaches, you start world building, or any outlining, now. By getting all of that out of the way, you will make the job of actually throwing 50k words onto paper a hell of a lot easier.
If you are interested, you can join us in this challenge. Visit the website for more details. If you like this post and this blog, comment below, and share. Let's nail NaNoWriMo, get your friends involved, your dog, your hamster, your mailman, everyone.
Now go forth beloved readers, and forge your story!
