November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which means this is your chance to participate in a writing frenzy that aims to stifle your inner critic and get you to produce a full-length (50, 000-word) novel by the end of the month. (And no, you can’t simply write one word 50, 000 times and claim victory.) See the NaNoWriMo Website for details. Good luck!
