Once again the time has come for NaNoWriMo! National Novel Writing Month [https://nanowrimo.org] takes place from 12 AM November 1st to 12 AM December 1st. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel over the course of the month.
I've been doing this since 2013. Like most people I've never actually finished the 50K march. Many do. Hundreds of thousands of people across the planet have finished their novels each year. This year I'm going to, too. *squares shoulders defiantly*
One interesting thing about NaNoWriMo is that there is no prize offered for doing it but millions of people sign up to participate every single year. It's the sense of striving towards the goal and--for many--the accomplishment of fulfilling their dream of writing a novel that drives people.
Many people return each year to continue the very same novel they worked on the previous year. At the other end of the spectrum there are writers who are so prolific that they not only hit the 50K word count mark in a few days they go on to write millions of words over a single month. Apparently there are men and women out there who can put down 30K to 50K words in a single day. Scary. <_<
Has anyone here ever completed NaNoWriMo?
