Have a novel in you? Prove it (National novel writing month)
In about a week, hundreds of folks will start working on a new novel, writing about 1500 words a day as part of National Novel Writing Month (aka NanoWriMo). It’s a great way to kick yourself into gear, and use the collective morale energy of other amateur and pro writers to psych yourself into overcoming writers block, get in there and just write.
The FAQ will answer all your questions. Sign up is free – there are forums for support, you can track your friends daily writing progress and more.
I’ve met Chris Baty, the founder of NanoWriMo, and the whole thing they’re doing here is fantastic.
If you truly want to stop talking about writing and do it, here’s the best chance you’ll have this year.

Scott,
50,000 words in a months is a bit intimidating, but I’m going to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing this and thanks for keeping up such a great blog.
