NaNoWriMo Countdown!
Happy October, Everyone! It’s less than a month until National Novel Writing Month! Is that good news? Bad news? Scary news? All of the above? Don’t worry. We’ve got your back. To kick off NaNo season, here are just a few posts about the month long exercise in caffeine and insanity. Not sure what NaNoWriMo […]
NaNoWriMo Virgin No More
~ By Lynne Silver The morning of November 1, (I believe it was a Saturday), I woke up and signed up for National Novel Writing Month. I’d heard of it and watched lots of my friends participate before, but I had never done anything more than watch. I’d made excuses; it wasn’t my kind of […]
Nanowrimo – The Home Stretch
~ By Lindsay Emory Congratulations! You decided to write 50,000 words in a month! Wow! That decision alone is a tremendous step forward in your writing career. For that, I give you all my kids’ leftover Halloween candy (which isn’t much after three weeks of Nanowrimo, but, it’s the thought that counts). But now you’ve hit a […]
Surviving NaNoWriMo
~ By Abigail Owen Ah, NaNoWriMo! That month when loony writers attempt to complete a 50,000 word novel, beginning to end in just 30 days. What makes this endeavor even crazier is the fact that the Thanksgiving holiday strikes right when you’re in the homestretch. This is my second year of participating in NaNoWriMo. So […]
NaNo: Do I dare?
~ By Heather Miles It’s November! Writers all over the country, and the world, for that matter, know that we are upon the month where writers push their limits. It’s National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). Few people actually complete the 50,000 words that are considered a winning word count, but sign up with the best […]
Nanowhat?: My Adventures with NaNoWriMo
~ By Tanya Agler When I first heard about NaNoWriMo in late October 2012, I thought Mork from Ork was making a comeback. What was NaNoWriMo and why did it matter? I sat in bed reading their website and details behind National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo, for short). My heart started thumping as I read […]

Writing in a Foreign Country
~ By Melina Kantor There was a time, not so long ago, when November meant I had three major events to look forward to. There was the balloon inflation the night before Thanksgiving, when everyone in my neighborhood would congregate by the Museum of Natural History to watch the preparation for the Thanksgiving Day Parade. […]
NaNoWriMo Week 3

NaNoWriMo Week 2
~ By Melina Kantor Dear Wrimos, As promised last week, we’re back with more NaNoWriMo fun and inspiration. First of all, welcome to Week 2. I hate to bring it up, but in case you haven’t heard, Week 2 is the most infamous time period of November. It is, for some reason, by far the […]
