Held every November, National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) is a writing competition where contestants have but thirty days, from the start of November to its end, to write a short novel of at least 50,000 words. It could be a masterpiece, or it could be crummy; and to be honest, the latter option is far more likely. But in participating in a month-long writing spree, you combat Writer's Block and see what it's like to write a novel.
Thank goodness competitors are allowed to plot out novels beforehand. I only have the first two chapters plotted, unfortunately, and I have yet to test out the two protagonists; still, I have the premise prepared (horror genre for the win!), and after watching The Others my inspiration experienced a spike in activity.
My plan is to write two thousand words per day, as two thousand times thirty equals sixty thousand, ten thousand words above the limit.
Are any other budding writers here planning to enter?
