National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo for short) proves to be a challenge to writers every November. The idea is to start writing a novel at the beginning of the month and reach a whopping 50,000 words by the end of November. A couple years ago I attempted to do this and I will tell you it's no easy task!
Amphitheater moderator Clurr has created a thread for NaNoWriMo on OtakuBoards (click: here). I won't be participating this year but I definitely look forward to reading everyones stories!
If you have any questions about how NaNoWriMo works you can direct yourself to their website. If you plan on writing you'd better start right away!
