What is NaNoWriMo?
It stands for National Novel Writing Month...and November is that month...
The goal? 50,000 words in one month...
Some people say 'thats crap...if i write 50,000 words without editing, it will just be gibberish'
OK! I hate to say it but I write 1000 words a day for 90 days straight and i do no editing in the meantime...and yes, what comes out is sometimes gibberish but the point is...i finished my book...gibberish can be edited...
after a person has completed 50,000 word they feel great, they feel like they have accomplished something...
some 'writers' work on a novel they have in their head...they write 2000 words and start editing it...they never move on until they feel it is perfect...unfortunately, they usually never feel it is perfect...the book never gets written because they can't move on past the opening...
NANOWRIMO helps people get past that opening and just do it!
Bravo for them...
