National Novel Writing Month comes every November where over a hundred thousand people participate in the challenge of writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. The prize being the satisfaction of completing and achieving such a huge goal and word count. For those who write, this is an impressive feat, for those who don't may not appreciate the challenge so much. Nevertheless, writing 50,000 words in thirty days isn't the easiest of tasks. Of course this doesn't mean that it has to be a perfect final piece. It's free writing. A draft. Messy is OK.
Last year I took on the challenge but didn't sign up. I completed it and was pleased with the effort. This year I've signed up and hopefully will once again manage to write 50,000 words or more this month. It's day two and the word count is rising, slowly, but it's rising. Second day and I'm over the 3000 word mark.
