Nanowrimo 2012

NaNoWriMo

 Hey all! Sorry to be M.I.A this week but I am gearing up for the Nanowrimo Contest! I am so excited about this year and I am planning ahead so that in the midst of all of the parties, wedding planning, Thanksgiving, birthdays (including my own!), and getting into wedding shape I can still win the contest.

For those of you who love to write, you really should check out the Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) project. It is really fun and the community is great.

Here are the basics of the contest:

Write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November.

And that's it!

My friend and I were participants last year and neither of us won. Winning just means you made it to 50,000 words. The novel doesn't have to be complete, you just have to write 50,000 words of new information.

As soon as I can figure out how to do it, I will be adding a gadget you you all can track my progress through out the month of November!



If you want to know more or even join in check out their website at www.nanowrimo.org.

Also I will be testing out some writing software. Scrivener. They have a thirty day trial and all Nano winners get it for 50% off! Sounds like a good deal to me.  From my research and their cosumer service, I am really looking forward to using this software!

Well that's all for me today! Happy Thursday!
