If you have been longing for a reason to put pen to paper and collect your ideas into a lengthy story, November is your chance. It is National Novel Writing Month.
The idea is to encourage yourself to write more than 1,000 words per day for each day of the month. By the end of the month you will have 50,000 words, enough for a novel.
Voila! Your novel will be finished.
It start with just a couple dozen participants but has grown to enormous proportions.
Lots of people enter each year. There is no prize except the satisfaction of having written a novel. Which, in and of itself, is quite an accomplishment....

@kayim It's 19 hours into November and I am determined that I'm not doing #nanowrimo this year. So why have I just started writing something new??
@pixonu So, this #nanowrimo thing - Can I write/illustrate a Children's book instead? I don't think i'm capable or writing more than 100 words ;D
@zashadrow Going to raid the candy bowl from last night as a reward for exceding my personal goal. CHOCOLATE NUMMINESS! #NaNoWriMo

@sugarskull33 Seeing lots of tweets about. #NaNoWriMo. Considering it for next year... Although I'm really just a poet. #Nerdlife
@sexylaccolith Word sprints really don't work so well at work, but I have upped my word count. Yay. Over 1300 words now. #nanowrimo
@ceciliadlibitum Writing #nanowrimo without a plot outline. For me it's better not to work from event to event, but just let it go it's own way. Who else?
@heidilala Right now I'm at 732 words. #NaNoWriMo
@cthulhuburger Happy November, everyone! Who's writing a novel? #NaNoWriMo
@lowcarbpinay Does anyone know when #NaNoWriMo site will work again? Maybe it's because it just began and people are crashing the site?
