30-day writing marathon starts today!
Ready…get set…go! Today marks the start of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) – where you have 30 stress filled fun filled days to get that novel out onto paper for the world to enjoy. Not too long ago, I wrote this post about NaNoWriMo. If you haven’t already started writing (depending on the time zone you’re in), you are already behind!
I am not going to be participating this year because I have too many other writing projects on my plate and I’m concentrating on keeping this blog moving in new directions. But my good blogging buddy Melissa over at Writing Forward is participating and is seeking out writing buddies.
If you have a few minutes to spare between chapters and want to drop a comment here and let us know your status, please feel free to do so. Just make sure you give your fingers a rest, you don’t want them cramping up during the home stretch.
Seriously though, good luck to all of you participating and I’ll be anxiously awaiting the publication of the great American novel that will undoubtedly be written this month. Write on!
