National Novel Writing Month
So November is National Novel Writing Month. Or, as I call it, "a month like any other." I think November is only National Novel Writing Month if you're not writing novels every month.
If you're not, however, doing as I do, you can check out what NaNoWriMo is all about here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/
The goal is 50,000 words by November 30, technically a bit spare to be called a novel, but why quibble?
If I wrote 50,000 words a month I would have a lot more books done but probably a lot less else done (job, laundry, grocery shopping).
So good luck to the NaNoWriMo participants. After all, what's a month without clean socks?
