NaNoWriMo - Winner 2007!
November 28, 2007 by VinceL
On October 31, I jumped in with both feet and signed up for the National Novel Writing Contest. NaNoWriMo runs each November.
Check out the NaNoWriMo Web Site.
The challenge is to write 50,000 words of original fiction within the 30 days of November. That’s 1,667 words a day.
No, it’s not about refining the craft or advancing the cutting edge of literature. It’s about pushing yourself to accomplish something you thought impossible. It’s about finally executing on the daydream and wish you’ve thought and uttered a hundred times.
The genius of the project is that there’s litterally nothing but bragging rights to be won. So, there’s no real incentive to cheat. I like it.
On November 28, I hit the target, chalking up 50,186 words. Here’s a link to my profile page (useful as long as the NaNoWriMo server us up) where you can see the title of my novel and my word-count.
So, maybe someday you’ll see a blog post about me getting this novel published, but first it needs a good rewrite
