NaNoWriMo 2014

[The Jedi Master]

Write a novel of 50,000 words in length in the month of November.

I can launch rockets into space. How hard can novel writing be, anyway?

OK, you might remember my thread of Camp NaNoWriMo, so you would already know what this is, but in case you don't know: National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) is a writers challenge. It challenges you to write 50,000 words of fiction in the month of November (about the length of The Great Gatsby or The Catcher in the Rye). This breaks down to about 1,667 words a day. It's harder than it looks, but at the same time, not as hard as it might look at first.

"Oh, but I could never do that," you might say. "Novels are hard. They're for writers, and I'm not one." Well, guess what. The whole point is to get people who wouldn't normally write to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard. Note that they said 50,000 words, not 50,000 brilliant words. It's a first draft. You can edit it after November. And besides, you might just write something that will surprise you!

First time NaNoer here! it's been hard staying on target and also dealing with other stuff in my life but i've had more fun writing for NaNoWriMo then any other time, maybe its because i'm writing more then a sentence a day that I used to write at.

Yeah. Been doing it with friends for the past 5 years or so. Highly recommended.
