What is NaNoWriMo?
National Novel Writing Month happens
every November! It's a fun, seat-of-your-pants
writing event where the challenge is to
complete an entire novel in just 30 days.
For one month, you get to lock away your inner
editor, let your imagination take over, and just
create!
How It Works
During NaNoWriMo, you write 50,000 words
in the 30 days of November. The challenge
may be hard, but the logistics are not.

facebook.com/emunanowrimo
2.At midnight on November 1, start writing
3.Update your word count whenever you
can
4.Starting on November 25, you can
validate your novel to win!
50,000 words
30 days
This equals

1,667 words …
Every day.

Oh boy! That’s a LOT of words…
