It’s that time of the year again, folks - time to deprive yourselves of sleep and sanity, to be replaced with copious amounts of coffee. It’s time for the National Novel Writing Month - NaNoWriMo. I have taken part in NaNo every year since 2004, but only ever met the challenge that first year. The idea is to write a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days. Founded by Chris Baty in 1999 in San Francisco, the challenge has grown from regional to national to international. People around the world engage in mini-contests along the way, to see who’s pumping out more words per ... Read Full Story

It is time for NaNoWriMo again! ( National Novel Writing Month ) Yes, it is November again (2009!). If you are an aspiring author of a novel, hurry up and sign up so that you can practice your writing skills and complete the task of writing 50k words in 30 days. You don’t have to really finish the novel on time. You just need to write 50k in 30 days and you don’t even have to polish your writing because this would be your very first draft. Once you have completed the task, you will get to decide whether you want to keep the ... Read Full Story

YES! Here we are at another National Novel Writing Month , (November of each year). This year, 125,000 writers and dreamers will participate with the goal of writing a 50,000 word novel during November. I participated in 2007 and successfully completed over 50,000 words on my novel entitled Twice Betrayed . I still haven't published it but am editing a major change in the novel's theme and story line. Meanwhile, I have finally decided upon a main character and plotline for this year's NaNoWriMo; we named our new puppy after the character. There is a wonderful support structure for aspiring writers at NaNoWriMo, with ... Read Full Story

Ways in which I boost my word count? #1 way: Dialouge! Though I write short stories and novels as well, my main writing base is comics. I'm used to reading and writing comics. In other words I am used to write straight dialouge, and nothing but dialouge. I can write dialouge for hours on end. Have characters chatting away, verbalizing everything that they are seeing, hearing, doing, and thinking. Narrative on the other hand... ick! I get stuck on narratives. I can write them, sure, but I'd rather stick to writing pure dialouge, cause it's so much easier for me to get inside my ... Read Full Story
This is story about a story that was made possible by NaNoWriMo. This is a THANK YOU post for NaNoWriMo and the wonderful people behind it. First, some background. For those of you who have followed me for a long time, you know that I started my writing journey when my first book (a murder mystery) [...]

Come on Invisible Lizard! You can do it! You've been ahead of the game all month.Logician, you - unlike the great Lizard - can't do it. I'm sorry. Give up now. Should I denounce your given name, start calling you "Quitter" immediately and beat the rush? (Sighs, shakes head, sheds tear).Everyone needs their own flavor of encouragement, I've found.

Yeah yeah, you use some fancy mirror drive cooled with liquid helium, connected to a fiber optic network to an offshore data storage facility in a bunker deep under the Atlantic.Take a moment to email your novella and your outline to yourself. It can't hurt, and it might help.No, I haven't lost any data - just being cautious.

OK, a man's gotta know when he's beaten. I officially retire from this year's NaNoWriMo. Sigh. Those toothache days put me so far behind and I just kept getting left further back. My friend Dee is doing it and she posted on Facebook last night that she's nearing 30,000 words...more than three times more than me. I persisted until yesterday but the writing was on the wall...or rather it wasn't I guess. But you just wait 'til next year!After a...
