Winning at NaNoWriMo
You’ve probably seen plenty of Facebook statuses or tweets about rising word counts for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this November. For those who don’t know, the general point is to write 50,000 words in thirty days. I’ve ‘won’ NaNoWriMo in 2008 and 2010, but I had to drop out in 2009 after being made […]

It’s November 22 and after today, NaNoWriMo participants have just eight days to hit the 50,000 word mark before the 2011 competition comes to a close.
