If you're a writer of fiction you will no doubt have heard of National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo), which runs from 1-30 November 2009. Participants are required to write a 50,000 word first draft of a new novel (from scratch) and this year, for the first time, Yours Truly will be taking part. Yes, I'll be aiming to write 1700 words per day, over each of the 30 days and I'd be thrilled to have your company, writing alongside me.
On this occasion we are aiming for quantity, rather than quality, (you have my official permission to write utter crap), because if, at the end of November, we find we've fallen in love with our storyline, we may just decide to take things further. Many writers have gained their first publishing deal through taking part in this annual worldwide event, so why not get yourself over to http://www.nanowrimo.org/ and sign up now.
Who knows, it could be the start of something BIG and rather wonderful.
