NaNoWriMo

Recently, I have been in a slump when it comes to writing. Family, School, and other conflicts sapped my time and energy like a mosquito at a red cross fundraiser. So where did I turn? NaNoWriMo. I am three days in and have already been motivated to write five times more than I had previously written in the past three months. 

So how does it work? They have great FAQs and instructions for how to get started. Once you've created your novel and writer's profile, they have forums, give aways, write-in hang outs, pep-talks, and a myriads of other resource to help motivate you to write and achieve your goal of 50,000 words in a month. Its a great way to meet other writers across the country and across the world. Connecting with people is as easy as clicking a button to add them as your "Buddy". Everyone is super friendly and its a great environment to be in.

Most of my creative juices this month are going toward Nano, so this post isn't going to be exhaustive in its coverage. The resources to learn about Nano are out there and easily accessible. Instead of wasting my time and your time remunerating them here, I'm going to get back to writing my novel, and let you do the same.
