NaNoWriMo 2023

I’m excited to be part of the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) experience this year. I’ve done this before, but for some reason 2023 is feeling more exciting, so I’m going with it and hoping to see what I get out of this experience by the end of November 2023.

What is NaNoWriMo about?

• It is a choice to take on a writing challenge and complete a novel or write 50k words of a novel in November. The challenge is done in daily bits. That is, writing 1, 667 words every day to make 50k words in thirty days. This is without worrying about how much editing you need, or how well the plot is flowing. You can worry about all that once you get to November 30^th. You can choose to jump in and start on November 1^st, 2023 or plan your novel six weeks ahead (NaNo Prep) and start your writing on November 1^st. Sounds manageable, right?

It is a fun challenge to take on and have fun with it! The experience at least leaves me with the start or the bulk of a novel, or an idea that I can take to the next level.

NaNo Prep starts on September 18^th, 2023. Follow as I work to get a story from idea stage to 50k at the end of November 30^th, 2023. I’ll do my best to post this process on this blog in notes and emojis ^_^.
