Nanowrimo is a tool every writer should have in their toolbox. You can participate in the main November Nanowrimo event or Camp Nanowrimo in April or July. There is nothing like writing 50,000 words in 30 days to force you to develop an active daily writing habit. With the very public deadline looming over your head, you don’t have time to self edit or worry about word choice. The draft you produce during the month you do Nano may not be anything worth ever publishing but, it is a great way to take an idea that has been rattling around in your head and getting it down on paper.

I love NaNo! I’ve participated – and won! – many years in a row. This was the first time in quite awhile that I didn’t do it – I was busy revising a novel and knew it wouldn’t work in with the whole word count thing. Maybe this summer though… 🙂
I didn’t do it in 2011 because I was traveling and in the middle of a big edit. I missed the excitement.
Yup 🙂 Did NaNo last November and my book is being edited now for publishing 🙂 It was great fun too!
Happy A to Z!
Wow, I haven’t done much yet with the pages I wrote in November. I hope to get to that after I edit my current WIP.
Thanks for dropping by.
I’m definitely going to give it a shot this year. hmmmm…. maybe I should actually finish off some of my short stories. Oh, boy! Is there such thing as a NaShWriMo? 🙂
November is NOT a good month for me. I am blogging this month in the A to Z Challenge but maybe in July.
I also blogged about NaNoWriMo for N is …

I have enjoyed #atozchallenge and learned from the experience so I am now seriously thinking ahead to the July Camp. I will be moved and unpacked, I hope,….. ‘camp’ in July sounds like a good activity….writing!
