November is drawing near, and you know what that means: National Novel Writing Month!  Yay!  (Cue trumpets and drums)

What’s NaNoWriMo you ask?  Well, as the name suggests, you write a novel in a month!  In November, to be exact.  And a 50,000 word novel, to be even more exact.  So you write for a month and presto: you have a novel!  It’s very exciting stuff.

I did it three years in a row and would be doing it again if I wasn’t a college student (aka November is the worst possible month for that (aka all my papers and finals are due (aka why would you do that to me?))).  Anyhow, I highly recommend it.  I learned so much about writing and made crazy progress on my book.  It doesn’t cost anything and shame is the only consequence of not finishing.  So give it a try!  What have you got to lose?
