NaNoWriMo Starts Tomorrow, November 1, 2012
This is my third year participating in NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month that is held every November where people from all over the world decide to get together in supporting each other to write novels. We take the challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. That would be a novel about the length of The Great Gatsby.
What makes NaNo so special is that all types of writers get together in this month of frenzied writing to support each other. You will find word wars, write-ins, kick-off parties, we did it parties, all nighters, and muse building. All with people who are interested in writing a novel, along with the rebels who are writing something else, in one month.
I have actually won NaNo twice and plan on winning again this year. Winning entails writing your 50,000 words and is done on your honor, no one is checking on you to make sure you did it in the month of November, but you are expected to upload and verify your 50,000 words and it is a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
Throughout the month, I will be posting about NaNo, my journey, my novels, my muses, my vision board, and my experience. So join me as you discover more about NaNo, and who knows, maybe next year you will want to join in as well.
For now, check out my NaNo website for information on my novel and my website for my handy, dandy, inspirational Character Guides. I hope you find both useful and inspirational.

Seguimos adelante,
