In addition to the panelists at the Writing Show last night, there was a representative for NaNoWriMo — National Novel Writing Month. I had first heard of this event last year but didn’t participate. It’s held every November, challenging all (non-)writers to write 50,000 words beginning midnight Nov. 1 through 11:59 Nov. 30.

Learn more at the NaNoWriMo website. There appears to be a lot useful stuff there, including pep talks and community support. I intend to sign up and give it a shot. It may be the kick in the tuchas I need.

Will you participate this year? Have you in the past? What was your experience?

Jean Anderson, the Municipal Liaison for NaNoWriMo here in Richmond was on hand to answer questions.

  1. That’s me talking to Jean! Wow. Didn’t know you blogged about the Writing Show or I would have included it in GYWO with the other links.

    If you do in the future can you send me a note?

    1. Yes, I had begun putting my Writing Show notes, such as they are, on the blog. Hopefully others will find them worthwhile and encourage attendence.
