National Novel Writing Month, aka – NaNoWriMo, takes place each November. Writers from around the world pledge to write 50,000 words in one month. It works out to 1,667 words a day, which is about 3 pages.
I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo for a decade. I’ve succeeded at my goal most years. This year will be more challenging because I’ll be a pantser for the first time.
A pantser is someone who writes without planning. No outlines, no character sheets, nothing is planned in advance, except maybe in the writer’s head.
I do not have a plan. There is nothing in my head. So,…this year should be interesting.
What will I be writing?
I haven’t a clue.
Poetry
Short stories
Flash fiction
Character studies
Photo writing prompts
Writing prompts
Whatever presents itself on that day.
Will you be a NaNoWriMo participant this year? If so, great! I wish you all the best!
Now, get ready to put your butt in your chair and start writing!!
Go!
