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!
