Writers, It's That Time Again!

It's here again--NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).  Every year, writers buckle down for the month of November and prepare to churn out a 50,000-word novel.  Last year, I finally entered the fray.  It was challenging to make myself write productively every day, and I wasn't completely successful.  The first week or so, I had a hard time keeping up with the pace.  As the month progressed, I got better and better.  By the end, I had produced a 48,000-word piece.

Overall, I found it to be a good experience.  It was helpful just to write, even if I wasn't exactly feeling it.  It gave me a good glimpse of how I would perform with a deadline.  And, it helped to rejuvenate my writing, which really needed help at the time.

Look around.  There's a lot of good info out there right now about NaNoWriMo.  Here is a link to give you some tips to keep you going.

Let's do this challenge together.  Comment to let me know how it's going for you.

Good luck!
