November is National Novel Writing Month. Janice structured this week's carnival, the NaNoWriMo Edition, like the sections of a book.
The next carnival will be hosted at As For My House. Submissions are due by Monday at 6 p.m. I look forward to reading your submissions.

All over the world people have taken inspiration from the folks at National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) http://www.nanowrimo.org/ and are creating other types of month-long creative self-challenges (vlogging, etc.) so I'm going start my own and see how well I can join in by declaring National Write Something On My Blog Everyday Month (NaWriSOMyBloMo), this post being the first step on the journey.
