Writing a novel alone can be difficult, even for seasoned writers. NaNoWriMo helps you track your progress, set milestones, connect with other writers in a vast community, and participate in events that are designed to make sure you finish your novel. Oh, and best of all, it’s free!
This is it! By midnight, you’ll need to submit your final wordcounts for verification. Let’s work together to get everyone to their 50K! Today we will also discuss plans going forward – does anyone want to continue a regularly scheduled writing group, or participate in Camp NaNoWriMo in the spring and summer months?
