NaNoWriMo 2011

Calling all writers!
November is coming upon us, which means that for the epic writers out there, this is your opportunity to join the National Novel Writing Month!
To those who have entered, this is the chance to try and win again!
To those who haven't, well, what are you waiting for?
Get your pen ready and brains working for this wonderful event that has been running since 1999!

What do you need to do, you ask?
Simply register at http://nanowrimo.org and get writing as soon as our local clock reaches 12:00:01 on November 1st, 2011!


NaNo in a Nutshell

What: Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month’s time.
Who: You! We can’t do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let’s write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together.
Why: The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era’s most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.
When: You can sign up anytime to add your name to the roster and browse the forums. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.
Where: You write wherever you’d like. On your computer, on your iPad, on a typewriter—anywhere is fine, just as long as you’re writing! For a more in-depth NaNoWriMo overview, visit the devilishly handsome “What is NaNoWriMo?“and “How NaNoWriMo Works” pages.


What are you waiting for?
Let us shine as the great writers we are!
Happy writing!
