NaNoWriMo – Midmonth Update

Readers – have you noticed that your favorite writers aren't blogging, tweeting, and chatting as much this month?

There's a reason for that. November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short). Writers get together, linking online and offline, to encourage each other to write 50,000 words on a new story. There are writing challenges and some side bets (not officially, Mr. Taxman).

For many of us, writing 50,000 words in a month IS a challenge we might not succeed in but we try our best. I'm always working crazy hours in the evil day job during November so I am fortunate if I write 25,000 words. Right now, I have a little over 10,000 words written. However, without this challenge, that 10,000 words would have been what I had written in the entire month.

So the downside of November is that you don't hear from us as often. The upside is that we're getting a new novel written for you to read.

Writers – how are you doing thus far with NaNoWriMo?
Readers – are you missing some of your favorite writers?
