National Novel Writing Month

November is officially National Novel Writing Month. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is actually an international event where writers of all ages attempt to write a novel (50,000 words) in a month.

Many young writers I know have completed this challenge and some I just met are contemplating it. If fifty thousand words in thirty days sounds too daunting to you, NaNoWriMo also has a Young Writer's Program where you can choose your own word count goal. Are you up for the challenge?

I hope so! Today's Teen Writer even has a special issue in the works for those brave young writers that answer the challenge.

If you plan on entering NaNoWriMo this year, please leave a comment below and let other writers know! :)
