2021 NaNoWriMo is coming....

 

Well folks, it's that time of year again, we're all prepping for the upcoming National Novel Writing Month (actually it's international and called NaNoWriMo for short). This is when thousands of participants sit down at their desks and either write, type or use their computers / tablets / phones in order to write 50,000 words.

At the end of the month, if you have succeeded you can download a cert to say you won, and if you get the 50,000 or over, you can get some moula of some writing programs, or other things (it depends on who partners up with the creators each year). 

You don't have to pay to join, you do have to fill in a profile though, there's a forum with loads of cool people to meet and become friends with and contacts in the writing world you can connect with for fun. As we've all be getting through covid, meetings are held off line, a great many are on discord, some use Facebook, some twitter, some insta, there is also twitch and zoom and this year I expect Tic Toc to be part of it.

Each area in the world has a region, like mine is Europe: Ireland: Galway (Which I just so happen to be the ML is the municipal liaison who is a volunteer and unpaid person over each region). It is the job of the ML to oversee the region participants, and try to help them have fun as well as egg them on to achieve their win. 

If you want to find out more, why not go along to   https://nanowrimo.org/  and check it out, if you like what you see, why not join up and participate, at the end you will have something awesome, the outline to a novel that you didn't have before.
