Love writing? Looking for something to try this November? This could be right up your alley!
NaNoWriMo, also known as National Novel Writing Month, is an annual event in which people aim to write 50,000 words of a novel or project etc. It's an amazing way to actually get some of that story written that you've been meaning to write down forever!
On the site it is easy to update how much you write every day and it tells you how much you have to write everyday for you to reach 50,000 words by the end of November.
Also, on the website you can access forums. If you're stuck for plot, need character inspiration or just need to chat to other writers, you can on the many forums.
You can order merchandise from the shop - I have a t shirt - and there are also special offers you get if you reach 50,000 words at the end of the month (like getting a discount on Scrivener).
Nanowrimo is an amazing way to get motivated and get writing! Follow the twitter @NaNoWriMo for updates and the opportunity to partake in sprints where you aim to write as much as you can in a short amount of time which really helps boost your word count.
