National Novel Writing Month
NaNo is an annual internet-based creative writing project which challenges participants to write 50,000 words of a new novel between November 1 and 30.
Writers wishing to participate first register on the project's website, where they can post profiles and information about their novels, including synopsis and excerpts. Word counts are validated on the site, with writers submitting a copy of their novel for automatic counting. Municipal leaders and regional forums help connect local writers with one another for holding writing events and to provide encouragement.
I just heard about this from some American friends - they go crazy over NaNo over there - and I thought I'd just pass over the information to you guys incase any of you wanted to join up and write. It's great because of the sheer number of people - you'll hopefully be able to get some really critique on your work if you submit any. ^^
If any of you post novels in NaNo - be sure to link us to them so we can read them as well! I'm hoping to submit a piece, but I may not have time. Also, I'm sure on the rules about collaborated pieces, although I don't think that they are allowed.
