That stands for “National Novel Writing Month.” Basically, every November, people from across the globe dedicate themselves to writing a 50,000 word (175 page) novel in just 30 days. There are no requirements other than that.

You don’t even need to have a coherent story, structure, theme, etc. Just write 50000 new words by midnight on November 30th, and you win…

Nothing! (Well, you get the satisfaction of having a bulky file to save, and if you’re really good, you might actually be able to do something with those 50000 words.

As you can see by the ticker to the right, I started quite late. I’m very behind. In fact, I’m too behind. To be fair, I was on my honeymoon during the beginning of this month, and since then I’ve been consistently enjoying married life. Crapping out a novel in 30 days was not top priority.

So is it possible for me to crank out about 45000 words in under 2 weeks?

Keep checking back to find out!
