What is NaNoWriMo you ask?
- National Novel Writing Month (often shortened to NaNoWriMo, "na-noh-ry-moh"), is an annual, Internet-based creative writing project that takes place during the month of November. NaNoWriMo challenges participants to write 50,000 words (their minimum number of words for a novel) from November 1 until the deadline at 11:59PM on November 30. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to get people writing and keep them motivated throughout the process.
Initially I was planning on typing out a YA Biopunk story filled with awesome kickass teenagers, hybrid experiments, shady scientists & an even shadier organization hell bent on "seeking the truest potential within mankind."
But alas, with the taking on of new clients, my annoying day job {hence the clients, to hopefully earn enough that I can ditch this job in favor of a full time Writing career}---I've had to prioritize my daily time. Especially with the research & worldbuilding involved.
So, like a bolt of lightning down my vertebrae, I realized I already had the perfect Novel to finish:
My very own Epic Fantasy Fairy Tale called The Zemlja Dosta Chronicles

Going back & reading everyone's comments was such an EPIC experience, Thank You ALL for the highly encouraging & sentimental words. You will never know just how Much I cherish them!
NaNoWriMo's main goal is to encourage creativity worldwide.
The project started in July 1999 with 21 participants, but by the 2010 event, over 200,000 people took part and wrote a total of over 2.8 billion words.
Meet Chris Baty
He accidentally founded National Novel Writing Month in 1999, and oversaw the event's growth from 21 friends to more than 300,000 writers in 90 countries

ReplyDeleteI've never thought that there is a National Writing Month!

ReplyDelete— DT | Here I Scribble
This is super interesting and the art is fantastic. Where do you submit when done?
ReplyDeleteWow, great accomplishment. Hope everything will be good!
ReplyDeleteI admire the ability to write a novel. I did a short picture book once, but I didn't get a publisher. I still try from time to time because I believe in the book. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the message behind this movement. It's inspired a fellow blogger to start her book. Big ups to you and your next piece. It's exciting to see so many writers supporting each other.
ReplyDeleteLOL that's too funny, Movember was the first thing that came to mind! I didn't even know there was a National Novel Writing Month. All the best to you!
ReplyDeleteI was intending to do this, until I signed a contract to write a Bible Study and it is due in November. So I will have take up a December writing challenge.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new clients! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to keep everyone writing. I have never been a fan of writing but I could read for days.
ReplyDeleteI always love your writing. You have a knack for bringing characters and details to life.
ReplyDeleteI love writing and contemplated joining up with NaNoWriMo this year but don't have the time. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI have to bookmark this and read your story before the bed! Thank you, I love reading fantasy..and writing about it as well. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteMovember is a big thing is Finland year after year. But NaNoWriMo was totally new for me. Unfortunately I'm not that good in writing...
ReplyDeletethe art work is so beautiful, amazing writing. thank you for sharing x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely activity to do for a month. I think it's a great idea and that people should definitely consider joining in the bandwagon.

ReplyDeleteI also never heard about the idea of National Novel Writing but it sounds like very creative and interesting! Thanks for sharing - great post
ReplyDeleteNever heard of National Writing Month! Good luck with your writing and have fun!

Yay, what a great project! I need a little motivation to push me these days :P
ReplyDeleteThis is first time i am hearing about national writing month!! good luck with that!
ReplyDeletethis is the first year in a long time, I am not participating in NaNoWriMo, and it feels weird, but I am way to busy. Allow me to cheer you own, I wish you the best - blessings!
ReplyDeleteThis NaNoWriMo project seems so great for all the writers. If it only happened on Summer that I could participate but no way I could pull this of because of the school and trainings.
ReplyDeleteWait. What?! Did YOU INVENT THE NaNoWriMo?!??!?!?!?!?! FUCK! I'M SUCH A FAN OF THIS AND I'M JUST....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust realised that my comment didn't make any sense ���� I though it was your biography at the bottom! Perks of being on my phone I guess
DeleteThat's cool of you to infuse western and eastern-derived characters. I'm sure you could give some of the most successful and popular fantasy writers and producers a run for their money!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere. Brief but very accurate information… Many thanks for sharing this one. A must read post! 경마
ReplyDeleteEverything is very open with a really clear explanation of the challenges. It was really informative. Your website is very useful. Many thanks for sharing! 메이저사이트
