Feel like doin’ some writing? And lots of it in a short amount of time? You can now sign up for this year’s NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. Participants must write 50,000 words (about 175 pages) between November 1st and 30th. As the organizers say on their site:
Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap. And that’s a good thing. By forcing yourself to write so intensely, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes. To forgo the endless tweaking and editing and just create. To build without tearing down.
