November is NaNoWriMo

FROM THE WEBSITE:

"What is NaNoWriMo?

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30."

This is writing that emphasizes QUANTITY over quality. Plenty of time after you have that critical first draft to revise, rewrite -- you know, fill plot holes and flesh out characters and other elements.

The website has forums and I joined the US--Atlanta group. I'm hoping we'll be able to get a weekly writers meeting going at one of the local bookstores.

I hope you'll join me and thousands of writers for this exciting challenge.
