National Novel Writing Month

NaNoWriMo is many things. It is the end of normalcy for an entire month. It is a lofty aspiration that is finally attainable. It is a way to stay sane - or, conversely - to go productively insane for the long winter.

One month, one novel. 50,000 words. Get your snicky snackies ready, clean your desk beforehand, prepare your procrastination, say goodbye to your families, and buy your wrist guards.

Thus begins our foray into the thick that is writing. This space is Aspiring Authors Anonymous. We are here to support each other in this endeavor. We will share our experiences and anecdotes in the hopes that we inspire, relate, or entertain one another. All for one, and one for all.

Good night and good luck.

-Chris, Abbi, and Veronica

*** You may still sign on the NaNo site if you are setting your own word goal. My students are 'doing GaNoWriMo' -Gaboury's Novel Writing Month- and the goal is 8,000 words. But others set their own word goal. The site has cool widgets to help show your progress and so on!
