NaNoWriMo

So, if you don’t know, NaNoWriMo is a nonprofit organization that focuses on cultivating writers. It is also short for National Novel Writing Month. While they have multiple events throughout the year, November is by far the biggest. The NaNoWriMo challenge in November is to write 50,000 words in a month.

A month! And not even a 31-day month. We only get 30 days to write 50,000 words in between Thanksgiving and holiday shopping (and this year, election drama on top of pandemic stress). In the past, I’ve always had finals at this time, too. So, I’ve never won.

I still like participating though. I like knowing that there are so many people out there who enjoy writing.

It’s over a week into NaNo2020 and I only just started writing today. I even started procrastinating today by writing this blog post. 😁

Anyone else participating?
