Every November, novelists, both published and hoping-to-be-published, take on the challenge of writing a novel in one month. That makes November National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo.

The goal is to complete writing at least 50,000 words in one month. And even though writing is usually a solitary activity, NaNoWriMo encourages writers to join group writing sessions, to select writing accountability buddies, and to share results along the way.

So, even if you haven't already joined NaNoWriMo, don't think it's too late. Check out the link to the organization's site and start writing now.
