National Novel Writing Month

It's time to think about doing National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), coming up in November. If you've ever wanted to write a novel but needed the motivation and support to do it, now's your chance!

Sadly, I will not be participating this year (I tried last year, but didn't make the goal). I have class all month and thus probably would not have time to do it on top of that and my day job. But if you have the time, I say you go for it!

P.S. If you do choose to participate, I recommend No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty. It's a great guide for anyone considering participating in the event, but it's also a great book on fiction writing period and worth checking out even if you don't do NaNoWriMo.
