If anything the National Novel Writing Month offers to any writers is the profound lessons one learns of oneself. Consider boot camp in the army, serving to tear a person down to see what stuff they are made up. The NaNoWriMo does much the same.
I certainly learned about myself in 2007 when I won the [...]
Some bloggers take a hiatus in the month of NaNoWriMo (www.nanowrimo.org) in order to focus all their writing to their current project. Trying to reach the 50,000 word mark by November 31st is tough with the tug of responsible to one’s blog. So here are a few tips:
Keep the blog entries short and sweet. As [...]
A number of members in our writing group mentioned today that they are embroiled in the drama of their own stories to consider taking on a new project for the National Novel Writing Month. They agreed the grueling 1700 word count a day- or the 50,000 words within 30 days- was worthwhile goal, but couldn’t [...]
November is National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo. This auspicious contest began in 1999 by Chris Baty with the challenge of 50,000 in thirty days. Two years ago, I dared to partake in the challenge and this year decided to once more take up the pen (or rather the keyboard) and crank out [...]
One of my biggest problems with writing is being able to stick with it. I tend to switch between windows on the computer, allowing myself the myriad of distractions the Internet has to offer. So when I discovered Dr. Wicked’s Writing Lab, and found how much I can write in only 10 minutes, I highly [...]
NaNoWriMo (National Writing Month) starts November 1 and lasts until November 30th, where you furiously write out a 50,000 page novel. It can be done. I won last year, much to my surprise. If I can do it, just about anyone else can. Here are some tips I found useful or discovered myself;

November marks the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) where those crazy enough to sign up for this adventure will crank out 50,000 words in thirty days. Last year I not only joined, but found four friends from my writer’s group to join as well. The hope strove towards camaraderie and support. For the [...]
Last year I promised myself that I would get published. I didn’t specify as to what or even how I would reach this goal, but I did, in fact, get published. Being unclear, this endeavor didn’t pan out as much as I had hoped. I published, and received payment for some articles through Associated Content. [...]
One of the toughest aspects of writing is finding the inspiration to write. What we’re talking here is enthusiasm. If you’re not excited about your subject or your life, finding the right words to express yourself will be clumsy, awkward, forced, and otherwise unreadable. A bored writer writes boring material, in general.
How often have I [...]
The other day I faced the real possibility that I might not finish the 50,000 words. Three days ago I should have hit the 50% mark, but instead only today, three days later and almost 5,000 words behind, have I reached the goal of 25,000.
Deadlines- the very word carries a certain level of ominous tone. [...]
