November Is National Novel Writing Month… What Are You Doing For It?

 November Is National Novel Writing Month… What Are You Doing For It?

Hello my fellow writers! November quite literally right around the corner, and, if you did not know, it’s also National Novel Writing Month! This blog post is mostly explaining what that is, and what I’m going to do for it.

What Is National Novel Writing Month?

It is, quite basically, a month where you try to write a 50k word novel. There used to be an entire site where you would participate, called NaNoWriMo, but it was disbanded last year for several safety reasons, and something to do with AI.

So, if you’re going to participate this year, you’ll have to find another site, or, alternatively, just join in the challenge and tell people about it! 

While the goal that has become synonymous with NaNoWriMo is writing 50k words, you don’t have to adhere to that. You could aim for 10k words, 80k words, or even do something editing related. All you have to do is set a writing related goal. 

Will You Be Participating?

As I said earlier, if you’d like to participate, all you have to do is tell someone! If you have social media, you could always make a post on that, along with posting updates, but you don’t have to.

If you’re going to participate, make sure to choose a reasonable goal- one that will be a little challenging to hit, but not so challenging that you feel like you failed if you don’t get close to hitting it.

Also, tell me! You can always tell me in the comments here, or you can tell me on one of my posts on Goodreads or Youtube. I’d love to hear if you choose to join me in National Novel Writing Month.

What Am I Doing?

I’ll be trying to hit 50k words in a thriller project that I have been lagging in. I haven’t started writing it yet, and I still need to finish plotting, but I’d like to try to hit 50k words for it during November.

It’s called Knife Behind Your Back, and if you’d like to know more about this project, check out my Youtube channel.

I’m also going to be editing Storm of Blood during this time, so we’ll see how this goes.

And that’s all I have for today! Make sure to check out some of my other blog posts and my Youtube channel… and make sure to drink lots of water!
