About
NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, is the self-inflicted challenge to write 50,000 words (175 pages) in 30 days. Each November, thousands of people worldwide set themselves this task. Misery loves company.
I’ve been NaNoing since 2004 (fail), and won in 2005 and 2009. Winning means reaching your wordcount goal. The NaNoWriMo.org site will validate your wordcount, and give you a shiny PDF as a reward. But it’s not about being rewarded. It’s an internal pride and satisfaction, that you wrote a novel. In my case, you drafted a novel you can do something with. You see, I want to be a full-time novelist one day in the all-too-distant future. And there’s nothing like self-imposed enslavement to get one started.
This area of TWOG details my efforts, year by year. Sometimes I win, sometimes I fail. Hopefully I’ll start to exceed my own expectations.
